BURBERRY
WEATHERPROOF CLIMBING KIT

CLIMBERS REALISE the vital importance of clothing that meets the exigencies of this strenuous pastime, and agree that BURBERRY successfully solves the problem of the most healthful, comfortable, and serviceable equipment.

BURBERRY MATERIALS are especially woven and scientifically weather-proofed by Burberry processes for the set purposes of:—

Affording natural warmth by diverting cold winds.

Preventing penetration by rain, sleet or snow.

Maintaining normal temperature under the most divergent conditions.

Combining ability to withstand the rough wear and tear of climbing with remarkable light weight.

BROCHURE “Y” clearly sets forth how all these are accomplished. A copy will be sent on request with patterns of cloths made especially for climbers.

ARTHUR BEALE,
Late JOHN BUCKINGHAM,
194 SHAFTESBURY AVENUE, LONDON, W.C.

IS THE ONLY MAKER OF THE CELEBRATED
ALPINE CLUB ROPE,
WHICH IS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY EMPLOYED

By the Leading Mountaineers of the time. It is made of the Best Manilla Hemp, and the new Rope now being made, which from tests taken (Admiralty proof) is of a much greater breaking strain than formerly, is marked by three red worsted threads, one in the centre of each strand to distinguish it from others on the market, and not one thread only in the centre of the Rope as heretofore (see the Report of the Special Committee on Ropes, &c., in Vol. I., No. 7, of the Alpine Journal). Each length is tied with Red Tape bearing my Name.

BEWARE OF FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS.
