VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage advertisement featuring an elegant chair with the caption "The distance-piece. " The text tells a whimsical story about how people in Langton Matravers were considered to be a bit backward, according to local lore. It humorously narrates an incident where a shipwrecked sailor arrived and was met with confusion by the locals when he asked for directions using common terms like 'miles' and 'legs. ' The ad then cleverly ties this anecdote back to its product, praising the precision engineering of Fischer ball and roller bearings. It emphasizes that just as there is only one step between the sailor's knowledge and his mother earth, so too is there only one degree of separation between Fischer products and their craftsmanship. The company details are provided at the bottom: Fischer Bearings Co. Ltd. , Upper Villiers St. , Wolverhampton, associated with British Timken Ltd.
