TO OUR ADVERTISERS

The Management wish to apologise to our many advertising friends who have recently been unable to obtain space in our columns. When, however, it is realised that the recent further reduction in the size of " The Spectator " only allows for approximately 20 pages of advertisements per month, whereas in pre-war years we published nearly four times this amount, our difficulties will be appreciated. While we are still doing our utmost to meet all requirements, reductions and refusals are sometimes inevitable. We ask your forbearance.
