| The UNIVERSAL JACK ALL BRITISH Used by all great racing drivers because of its unfailing reliability and wide range of action. A FAMOUS RACING MOTORIST writes : 'I consider they are the very best Jacks that can be obtained. They are extremely quick in action, light in weight and are altogether satisfactory. I shall be only too happy to recommend them whenever possible.' THE 'MOTOR TRADER' says: 'The Universal Jack should be demonstrated. No amount of talk will do justice to its qualities, but an actual trial will make any practical man coveteous.' 'OWEN JOHN,' the well-known contributor to the 'AUTOCAR,' says : 'I praise it for its ease and elegance. It fulfils a long-felt want.' THE 'MOTOR' says : 'The Universal Jack has many good features, is easy to operate, thanks to the design of the lifting arrangement and operating handle, and is well made. It will be appreciated that the one model is suitable for use with any type or make of car, regardless of axle height.' Price 50/- complete CANTILEVER CONSTRUCTIONS, 8-9, ESSEX ST.{Capt. P. R.
