DOMESTIC COMMODITIES.

MANUFACTURED IN AUCKLAND. A COMMANDING DISPLAY. CANDLES, SOAP AND STARCH. c t The production of such domestic comg modifies as soap, candles and starch, i> s. of suoh material importance that everj - I home is or should be acquainted with :- ! these lines, and it is therefore partiI. I cularly gratifying to witness the comf prehensive and attractive show exhibit - of the Union Oil, Soap and Candle Comf pany of Lower Albert Street. s This centrally situated stand captures - the eye for the skill and care taken in r i its arrangement. On one side is a replica 1 wax candle model of the Tower Bridge, t with the drawbridge working automatics ally representing the method by which l shipping passes up and down at that . point on the River Thames. Under the v bridge is a model steamer. - I A fine display of candles in packets f made by the company, is the background. - Rangoon wax candles, Radium wax candles, and the popular British wax can- » dies are displayed, all made up in 16oz , packets, in which respect they are much t heavier than other lines of candles often I ! retailed at stores. It is therefore easy t to understand the goo) value that is associated with this growing local in- :. dustry. SOAP WTTH FINE LATHER. The centre noint of the exhibit is occupied by a miniature lighthouse around - which Taniwha soap lather, which is known for its splendid wasliing propensi- _ ties, completes a. strikingly tine imitation of the foam lashed up .by a furious sea. Taniwha soap, composed of highly refined tallow and the best eocoanut oil, is noted for its purity and value as a , general domestic and toilet necessity. As a bath or shaving soap it is soft and soothing to the skin and on washing or . cleaning days, it is a labour-saver of first importance. Caretakers, charwomen, i laundry people and the public generally i> make a practice of asking for Taniwha , I soap, which is stocked by all grocers and 3 stores. i Another portion of the company's cc- : hibit emphasises the goodness of Rvlvia / j starch, though many thousands of peorlple hardly require this introduction, 1; because they already know its superior .! quality. However the human touch is i { given to the exhibit by a portion of the ; I stall where one sees a lady busy ironing I 1 clothes that have been in Sylvia starch, , I which is openly recommended by the -laundry gazette.' ' The Auckland Steam - |Laundry. the National Laundry (MechJanic's Bay), and other usors of Sylvia •I brand have no hesitation in praising its . merits. Sylvia starch is infinitely better . and cheaper in the long run than any . imported make. s Generally, the company is to be congratulated upon its enterprise that has .{resulted in the establishment of a useful . New Zealand industry giving pmploy- . ment to many and manufactures of pub- • I lie benefit.
