＜メルセデス自動車の新聞・雑誌広告のコピー＞
小京都・津和野は、ほほえんでいる。美しい日本はここにある、と。いにしえの面影を残す白壁の町並み。静かに流れる掘割。優雅に水に遊ぶ色鮮やかな鯉…しかし、この町とゆっくり語り合うと、ただ目に映る美しさだけではない、もう一つの顔が見えてくる。町の中央を走る津和野川の流れを引く掘割は、四百年程前、当時の領主坂崎出羽守によって作られた防火用の水路であった。美しい景観の一都として訪れる者の心を潤す水は、いざという時に、全力で町を守る命の水になる。ここには、安心して暮らすための美しい知恵が、時を越えて流れていた。
この国と新しいEクラスには、危険からしなやかに身を守る工夫がある。
新しいEクラスは、ほほえんでいる。そのフォルムの奥には、ただ目に映る優美さだけではなく、安全性への不変の哲学が流れている、と。インテグラル・サポートフレームにより衝撃吸収性を高め、小型車へのダメージまでを考慮したボディー構造。衝撃時、シートベルトによる乗員への負担を軽減するベルトフォース･リミッター。強固なピラー、確かなボディー構造とともに側面からの衝突に備える運転席・助手席SRSサイドバッグ（SRSは、乗員保護補助装置の略称）。いざという時に、あなたやあなたの大切な家族を全力で守る美しい知恵。それは、かつてない安心となって、美しいこの国を走り始めます。
さらに新しいまなざしで、メルセデスを見つめてください。 | Translation - English
(Mercedes-Benz Newspaper/Magazine Advertising Copy)
The town of Tsuwano, also known as "Little Kyoto," is smiling. Here you can see first hand the beauty of Japan. The white walls of the town invoke images of an ancient past. The colorful carp gracefully swim in the serenely flowing canals. Behind the many wondrous sights of this town lies another more fascinating aspect. The water canals, which draw off water from the Tsuwano River, were constructed some 400 years ago by feudal lord Sakazaki Dewa no Kami for the use of preventing fires. This water represents one aspect of the town's beauty, invigorating the hearts of visitors and protecting the town from danger. Here lies a sense of beauty that secures the town and transcends all time.
Japan and the new E-Class have graceful ways to protect you from danger.
The new E-Class is smiling. Behind the form of this automobile is more than just apparent elegance. There also flows a solid philosophy of safety. The integral support frame boasts a higher level of impact absorption and the body has been constructed so as to minimize damage to compact automobiles. A belt force limiter is used to alleviate the force of the seat belt on the driver at the time of impact. In addition to the reinforced roof pillars and strong body, the new E-Class is also equipped with driver and passenger side SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) side air bags for protection at time of side impact. A sense of beauty that protects you and your loved ones from danger. The new E-Class--an unprecedented level of safety to be driven in a beautiful country.

In an age where the sense of value toward material items is changing at a dizzying pace, Muji continues to take a renewed look at
the value of its daily essential products. By streamlining our procurement of materials and production processes, we are able to provide
higher quality products but at the lowest price possible. Our "price reviews" are an effort to strike a balance between quality and prices.
This time we've reduced the prices on 603 products for a total of 2,415 items to date.[/FONT][/TD]
