This is the age of Hurry, Bustle, and Melancholy.

 

You can do the Hurry and Bustle part.

 

This book will try to supply a little of the Melancholy.

 

GET ON OR GET OUT.

 

FIVE MINUTES is nowadays equal to a week, an hour to three months, and a day to three years. On these lines you get a week’s reading for 1/-.

 

What you want is a book that will tell you what is going on and what is going to go on, and tell it you in FIVE MINUTES.

 

You want something you can read in a hurry (get on, you lobsters!) while you are stumbling to catch your tram, while you are being run over by the motor-’bus, while you are leaping madly between the closing doors of the moving Underground train.

 

You want your news on the tabloid system. You don’t want to spend half-an-hour, which might have been spent in doing in your fellow business man (hustle, you flat fish!), wading through long screeds on the events of the day. You want them in a single line.

 

DO pass along there, please!!!
