THE FARM-ACY, Rangitikei Street, Paluierston North. Telephone 608.1

The Farm-Acy Engineering Works in Rangitikei street, P^lmerston North, established by the late Mr. Robertsom about 15 years ago,'and since his demise has had a somewhat chequered existance, has at last" been acquired by Mr. Ernest.Foster, a first-class tradesman with a thorough knowledge of the business. Mr. Foster learned his trade under the direction of the original owner, and it can be confidently asserted that his exn«rience and ability, combined with his determination to place 'the works on a sound footing, has already touiiu favour with' the farming community, whose requirements in the matter of ear-markers, brands, number tags, ram clamps^ and all necessary equipment pertaining- to this class of trade; can now be made, repaired, and supplied promptly at moderate cost. Mr. Foster recognises that the main essential of his or any business is to give the public what they require, and to supply it up to promised time:; In following out this welldefined business policy he hopes to make the Farm-Acy the chief centre for the needs of pedigree stock-owners, and all sheep and cattle breeders. To enumerate the numerous appliances manufactured by Mr. Foster on the premises is altogether unnecessary in this short article, but it may be said, without fear or favour, that at no time in the history of the Farm-Acy has it been better equipped than it is now. It may also be added that Mr. Foster is the sole owner, and all work forwarded to the establishment is done under his personal direction. Orders from any part of the Dominion will receive prompt attention, and in every case absolute satisfaction is guaranteed. ■ ■ j
