...Hitherto, Bovril sales in the U. S. and Canada have been handled by Harold F. Ritchie, "world's greatest salesman," who owns Eno's Fruit Salt (morning-after tonic), Pompeian Cream (face restorer) and who recently purchased for several million dollars Scott's Emulsion (delicious white cod-liver oil).

Conn., fuelled again, taxied up to the Europa...
...under her great spinnaker, made the most startling run of the cruise and reached Marblehead more than an hour ahead of the rest. After a day's racing at Marblehead the weather was calm again; the fleet had itself towed through the canal at the base of Cape Cod to Buzzard's Bay.
