Ash trays and ping-pong balls needed for convalescent servicemen overseas; Aspreys offer to purchase unwanted gold jewellery and Jackamans, unwanted furniture; among the selling points of the Howard Hotel on The Strand are a cocktail bar and an air-raid shelter; a young widow desires interesting work..
