PAGE 34 SUNDAY MIRROR, December 16, 1979 This Christmas, why bore your friends by giving them ordinary original Rembrandts, vulgar gold jewellery and other such tawdry trifles when here at last is... Art lovers of the world, you have waited long enough. At long last Schweppes are proud to present the Authentic Art Collector's Edition of Schweppes American Ginger Ale bottles, now available in pubs, grocers and off- licences everywhere. Each bottle is a symphony in glass, complete with a painstakingly- printed label of purest paper, and crowned with the traditional, pre- cision-worked Schweppes bottlecap at no additional cost. Each empty bottle is forged entirely in glass, made from sand that is literally thousands of years old and hewn from the very fabric of the Earth's crust. It is guaranteed completely free from such impurities as 22-carat gold and sterling silver. As a true art connoisseur you will marvel at its opalescent trans- parence: Indeed this bottle offer is so transparent, you can see through it a mile off. By starting your connoisseur's collection of these priceless bottles now, you will automatically qualify as a Member of the Urn and Glassware Society. Members are recognised throughout the entire art world by their initials. A fascinating, original hobby. Collecting empty Schweppes ginger ale bottles is an absorbing hobby that is, so far, still in its infancy. In fact we know of absolutely nobody who has even started it. By investing now, before the craze really takes off, you will be one jump ahead of other art lovers in this rare and unexplored market....

Dec 1977: Marina 1-8 HL ad from Morris

(+Marina)

«You just can't get more value onto a page.»
This is an advertisement for the Morris Marina, highlighting its value and practicality. It emphasizes the car's lack of unnecessary frills, its affordability, and its ease of maintenance. The ad features an image of the car and a text that positions it as a sensible choice for those seeking value and reliability. You just can't get more value onto a page. PAGE 38 SUNDAY MIRROR, December 4, 1977 It's surprising how much money people are prepared to pay for frills and fancies on a car, and bewildering how they go on paying to keep such expensive machinery on the road. Morris build 10 Marina saloons and 2 estates for people who want to run a totally satisfying car that isn't a financial liability. Because it's a Morris, there's nothing irrelevant about the Marina. No gimmicks, just solid value. Every- thing in a Marina does its job well: from engine to ashtray, the Marina is a car that's been tried, proved and perfected. Because it's a Morris, you're not spending money on styling fads that fade overnight: you're buying clean and classic looks that last. The spares you may have to buy don't come from the ends of the earth so they don't cost you the earth. Because it's a Morris, there are no marathort trips to find a garage that understands a Marina inside-out. It's one of the easiest cars to service and maintain, which takes a lot of the sting out of today's servicing costs. It uses petrol as if every drop counted; in the 1977 Total Economy Drive, the Marina 1-8 achieved an average 40-69 mpg. There are many reasons why the Marina gives such good value. Or perhaps just one – because it's a Morris. From Leyland Cars. With Supercover. Car featured Marina 1-8 HL 4-door £3314.61. Marina prices from £2380.95 including car tax, VAT and front seat belts.

Nov 1976: Barclaycard ad from Barclays

«When your spending has ups and downs, how can you ever keep straight?»
A black and white advertisement showing a family's ups and downs of spending and suggesting the use of a Barclaycard. The ad shows the life stages with all the expenses of a young family. When your spending has ups and downs, how can you ever keep straight? You just finish paying for your son's driving lessons, and you find your car needs a new gearbox. You spend a fortune on a puppy, and then you have to buy new carpets. Your wife economises by growing vegetables, and you end up buying a freezer. Just when you think that you've got it all levelled out, fate is waiting round the corner with a custard pie. When you're faced with a great pile of bills, your Barclaycard can help you pay everyone on the dot. And you've got at least twenty five days to pay us without paying any interest. But your Barclaycard can do more than just tide you over till pay day. It can help you buy most things you need, when you need them. You don't have to visit your bank manager, or fill in H.P. forms. And you can vary the amount of the repayments to fit in with your commit- ments for each month. But how ever easy it sounds, we know a lot of people are still uneasy about using any kind of credit. They were given a piece of advice along with their pocket money: neither a borrower nor alender be. And they still stick to it, even though their resources have grown. They struggle along trying to meet variable outgoings from fixed incomings. But in our experience, it's these people who benefit the most from using Barclaycard. We can't claim that it stops their fortunes from having ups and downs, but we're sure it helps stop their financial molehills from becom- ing mountains. For further information, call at any branch of Barclays (in Scotland, any branch of the Bank of Scotland) or write to Barclaycard, Department MA, Northampton NN1 1SG. You don't have to bank with Barclays to have a Barclaycard.

A public service announcement urging people to conserve fuel by leaving their cars at home, especially on weekends. It provides tips on reducing fuel consumption, such as driving slower, accelerating gently, and offering lifts to others. It emphasizes that even small efforts can lead to significant savings. LEAVE YOUR CAR AT HOME THIS WEEKEND. Because of the present serious reduction in fuel supplies which Britain is facing, it's vital that we all save as much as possible. Every small saving that can be made now will contribute towards a large and valuable saving of the country's fuel resources. Ask yourself: do you really need to use your car at all this weekend? Particularly on Sunday? We must all increase our efforts to save fuel. So don't use your car unless you really have to. Even after the weekend. If you feel you must use your car, make sure you act on the following economy suggestions. 1 Keep your speed down at all times. Fast driving ■drinks unnecessary fuel. So don't exceed 50mph even if it's allowed. A reduction to 50mph on motorways can lower fuel consumption by 30%. 2 Racing starts and sudden braking use up extra fuel. Use the accelerator as gently as possible: brake smoothly. It makes better driving sense, anyway. fuel. 3. Offer a lift to a friend or neighbour. Try to organise ■a rota or pool in your neighbourhood or where you work. So remember. Cut out weekend motoring if you can. Limit weekday motoring to the minimum. And see how much fuel you can save.

Nov 1971: Canada Dry ad

(+Scotch)

«EMIGRATE TO CANADA DRY
LIKE DAVID WATERMAN»
This black-and-white vintage advertisement showcases a montage of photographs depicting David Waterman, an ace photographer and sky diver, along with a bottle and glass of Canada Dry ginger ale. The ad invites viewers to emulate Waterman by drinking Canada Dry. EMIGRATE TO CANADA DRY LIKE DAVID WATERMAN Ace photographer and sky diver, David Waterman has the unique combination of creative skill and iron nerve. His sky diving and reportage shots are syndicated all over the world. He's also taken most of the free fall shots you've ever seen. He was in the team that took over the free fall world record for Britain and in January, in New Zealand, he'll defend it against the rest of the world. David jumps at the weekend too. For enjoyment and to keep his reflexes sharp. Last jump of the day he literally drops in on the local pub near the airfield. Lands on the village green and goes in for a scotch and Canada Dry. He's been drinking Canada Dry since the days he led a free fall demonstra- tion team. One of the team told him what a smooth ginger ale Canada Dry was. Now when he's down to earth he always asks for Canada Dry by name. Emigrate to Canada Dry. For the sake of your scotch.
