October is Black Cat Awareness Month! We have quite a few brave 'Void Cats' as part of our feral crew, as well as one sturdy office cat.

Black cats are often the last to be adopted. So if you plan to add a cat to your family, please consider a Black Kitty. They are nothing but good luck! 🐈‍⬛❤️

Dec 1950: Blades ad from 7 o'clock

«7 O'clock»
This is a black and white advertisement for 7 O'CLOCK blades. The ad has a cartoon of Santa Claus with a reindeer asking "What blade wins in a canter Santa?" to which Santa replies "7 o'clock cock!". The ad states that 7 O'CLOCK blades shave sweetly and are economical.

7 O'clock

Where ordinary razor blades
find it heavy going, 7 O'CLOCK
shave sweetly - and reason-
ably. Sweetly because their
Triple-ground edges are
quite remarkably sharp.
Reasonably because they
last so long that they are
extremely economical. A
packet or two of 7 O'CLOCK
blades is the sort of thought-
ful little present a man
appreciates.
Actually COST LESS than PRE-WAR!

«Biro
the number one for your
Christmas gift list»
An advertisement from Biro, a British manufacturer of ballpoint pens. The ad promotes Biro as the ideal Christmas gift, highlighting different models such as the Biro De Luxe, Biromatic, Biro II, Biro 7, and Biro Minor, along with the Citizen model. The imagery features pens and an illustration of a reindeer, emphasizing the holiday season.

Biro
the number one for your
Christmas gift list

Put down Biro as your first and best gift. You'll find
that one or another of the Biro models is just 'right' for
each of your friends. No gift could be better; none will
be more appreciated.

BIRO 7 & BIRO II
the NEW ballpoint pens

Without a shadow of doubt these are the most attractive
ballpoint pens ever produced. The streamlined polished
cases come in a variety of attractive colours. The caps
fit flush, are screw fitting, and you can choose between
matching plastic or gleaming engine turned metal.

BIRO DE LUXE
(centre)
A pen with a really opulent air.
Gracefully styled with cap, clip and
mountings in gold on silver. A
worthy gift for important people on
important occasions.
£5.15.0
BIRO MINOR
A gift that is as welcome as it is use-
ful. Four colours-blue, red, green,
black. The colour of the case tells
the colour of the ink.
3/-each
Set of four 12/-
BIROMATIC
(centre)
A firm favourite with busy people. -
No cap to remove. Gentle pressure
makes the point emerge for writing:
further pressure sends it gliding
back into the hollow barrel. Give
this to business friends - they'll
appreciate its convenient speed in
action.

The popular model for everyday use
