Port Area Munilu I was mistaken/ Anyway, before this happened, my firm moved up from the first to the fourth floor in the buildini' it rents space in, and I thought it would be pleasant for me to have my office air-conditioned. So the firm, to keep me satisfied, bought me a Model 60W Pacific Air Conditioner. — a dandy, guaranteed to keep me comfortable. Hut my office proved to be cool enough for a tbinblooded old-timer without the air conditioner. So now the firm want to sell this 80%-Import-Controllcd item at the pre-control price. Just to satisfy me again. First come, first served. It would be installed for you and you would get six months of service free. F. H.
