Does anyone have a copy of this brochure? I wonder if it's still available for free??

Interesting, I wonder if the woman in the picture is Mercedes Gleitze, the Rolex-wearing English Channel swimmer? The ad looks like the right era (1920s).

Well answering my own question, I found an article on Jake's blog and that is Mercedes Gleitze in the ad.

Give them a call...say you have been out of town for a while (well quite a while) and just came across their advert for the free brochure, and could you have one.

Imagine if they sent one out
