LEGAL NOTICE
The pygmies who live in the Ituri Forest of the Belgian Congo,
Central Africa, are considered the world’s most primitive peo-1
I pie, next to the aborigines of Australia.
Though they average only four feet tn height, they are extra-
ordinary hunters, with amazing strength and stamina.
| According to Ace Williams, noted African explorer, hunter,
i photographer and producer of travel and documentary films,
!<<The Pygmies regard salt as a rare delicacy because it is virtual-
ly unobtainable in this particular section of Africa. That is
why we pay them in salt; anything from a generous pinch to a
, small handful, according to the amount of work they do. They
;can gabble it down by the handful!
“In past years, we have paid them in rock salt. But on my
l most recent safari, as a ‘field test, to pay them in fine salt
f we used Atrko moisture-proof shakers we purchased at an out-
| lying trading post, a jungle “five-and-dime.”
| “Since the Ituri Forest is right on the Equator, the climate
3 there is constantly hot, damp and clammy. The fact that fine
salt (would actually pour freely at all times from these new
! shakers was as surprising a miracle to us as it was to the
Pygmies.” „ , '. . ,
S Williams is leaving shortly for another safari to do a docu-
i mentary film of other African tribes.
This story and news picture will be released to papers in your
1 area in about three weeks. Will you have the new Swedish
I Modern AIRKO Free-Flow Shakers on display then?
