OLD BOTTLES AND TINS BOUGHT THIS AMBULANCE

'What is the secret of the alchemy that has turned old bottles, tins and paper into this new motor Ambulance?' asked Sir Hugh Dow, Governor of Sindh, accepting this ambulance on behalf of the local branch of the St. John Ambulance Association.

The ambulance represents the sale proceeds of bottles, tins, waste paper, scrap iron, etc collected over a of two and a half months. The Karachi Scrap Collection Committee since their inauguration in May have realised this over Rs. 9000.
