of singing corny songs in a mechanical wav they are only too ready to see what vou mean They will produce suggestions for which is the corniest "Oh Miss they decided We try to alter said Nick You know it can be verv depressing to realise suddenly that you've sung this song before He pointed out that at least five songs h3d the same tune as Take a Worried Man and they'd recorded most of them Bob said they were successful because people identified themselves with them: "They wouldn't identify themselves with Harry Belafonte and a 90-piece orchestra but they could easily be us with a guitar It

TOURS LTD Established 1881 hove pleasure in announcing that they will open a Branch at 110 DERBY ROAD Telephone 46954 RECALLING A A BARGAIN A first glance there's nothing in the sober face of this American stamp nearly 60 years old to suggest either an historic bargain a tragedy or a well known song But the way in which such things can lurk behind a dull exterior is one of the great fascinations of stamp collecting The stamp is one of a set issued in 1904 to mark the World's Fair in St Louis How many times even now do we hear the song Meet me in St Louis meet me at the fair The portrait is of President William McKinley who was elected to the presidency in 1897 and led the United States in the Spanish-American War which broke out in the following year the conflict which established the United States as a world-power It was President McKinley who authorised the World's Fair and saw the early stages of its planning But he never lived to attend the opening day In September 1901 at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo New York he was assassinated by an anarchist The World's Fair was held to mark the centenary of the Louisiana Purchase one of the great milestones of American history This was the occasion when Napoleon agreed to sell to the United States all the remaining French possessions in North America The purchase of this huge area which today comprises ten states and parts of three others cleared the way for American expansion into the Far West Robert Livingstone who was the American minister in France at the time and President Monroe had the chance of buying the Louisiana Territory for their country at a cost of 27 million dollars They grasped the opportunity without even waiting for the approval of Congress History has shown that they made one of the greatest bargains of all time Just a single stamp with several interesting stories to tell (All rights reserved) SENSATIONAL LOOSE COVER OFFER EXAMPLES OF BIG CARPET SAVINGS on
