1 Spring cleaning time 13 also painting, papering, and decorating time, therefore special attention is directed to the- huge stocks of beautiful new wallpapers and other lines of the decorators' art on show at Messrs.

This firm are the leaders of fashion, and artistically inclined householders will find much to interest them at the firm's premises at the the present time. All the latest importations in -wallpapers come mainly from the best and largest manufacturers 'of Great Britain, and it can be said nvithout fear of contradiction that the people of Palmerston North, or. indeed, any other part of New Zealand, have never previously had the good luck to see such a wonderful collection. , The variety of patterns is baffling in the extreme, and their great range demonstrates what wonderful strides have been made in the wallpaper industry of recent years. Alexander Clark, Ltd., are the largest importers of British wallpapers in the country, and, besides supplying both their Wanganui branches and their principal establishment in Palmerston North, the firm conduct an extensive wholesale and retail trade throughout every part 01 the North Island. Householders living at a distance may have patterns and prices posted to their address on receipt of a postcard, and no matter where you reside the same attention is given to your requirements as to those who call at the firm's shops. A substantial rebate is being allowed just at present on all wallpaper purchases, and those who contemplate early renovating and papering of their homes should get in touch with Clark's, Ltd. There is no better house in New Zealand. The firm are also agents for. the famous B.P. paints, and can supply from stocks in any quantity. Remember, Clarke's is the recognised house for all paints, paperhanging, picture framing, and every line associated withi the trade of wall paper, oil, and colour merchants.

/THE HOME OF MUSIC

It is just about eighteen months since Berrymau's look over the business of J. P. Leary and Co. During the first nine months business progressed to such an extent that the premises were too 'small to accommodate_ the huge stocks necessary. New premises were acquired ,in Cole'man place, with about three times the floor space. This is now taxed to its utmost. A branch of the business is the repairing shop, where every class of musical instrument is repaired by experts. Pianos are specially attended to, and at times as many as eight pianos are being repaired at one- time. This will give some idea of the size of the workshop. A first-class tuner is kept . busy attending to pianos in all parts of the district. Gramophone repairing also has a big space, where experts, attend to any make of machines. The retail departments can supply any instrument from a Jew's harp to a grand piano. In : gramophones the firm stocks the famous, Edison Diamond Disc, His Master's Voice, and Cheney. In records the choice of five different makes is here for your selection. Aeolian player pianos and player rolls are also obtainable at Berrymah's, and the following pianos .are always in stock:—Witton, Hopkinson, Windover, Bansall Baby Grand, and Begg. Easy terms can be arranged to suit all buyers. A visit of inspection will soon convince anyone that Berryman's is the place to buy everything in the musical line. If you are unable to visit personally, the mail order department -will attend to your needs. , There's only one address—Berryman's, Coleman place, Palmerston' North.

PALMERSTON NORTH STEAM LAUNDRY, 126, Broad Street. »■. Tel. 5003.

Domestic industry has developed within recent years to a considerable extent, and., this is strikingly apparent in the operations : of-laundry workers, where the various processes of cleansing by mechanical means havo now reached a stage of perfection little short of marvellous as compared with the crude; and often wasteful, methods prevailing in former yearsi This-beneficient result is well exemplified in Mr.. J. S. Jen* kinson's Steam Laundry in Broad street, Palmerston North. The plant is of the very latest description, and the method 'of handling. and controlling this large business is certainly' an object lesson to those accustomed to the old'order of things.' Mr. Jenkins'on's business is the only one of ''its . kind: in Palmerston' North,' and needless to say its> operations are not only extensive but increasing every day. It is indeed a wonder to many that there still remain people who have their linen dealt with in 'socalled Chinese laundries; many of which are reeking in filth, when there is an up-to-date establishment like the Palmerston North Steam Laundry.

MESSRS. MANSON AND BARR, Ltd, Machinery and Hardware Merchants, Rangitikei Street, Palmerston N.

Messrs. Manson and Barr, Ltd., usually have a very extensive space at the Manawatu A. and P. Show, but this year the firm finds itself in the position of being barely able to cope with the large increase in its business, and consequently could not find time to make a display on the showgrounds, but rmvortheless i^eh- Met Rans-itikei street showrooms -will form a centre of attraction to all Palmerstcn , visitors during the Show period, especially those who are at all interested in agricultural and general farming machinery, and implements. Manson and Barr are the agents for the famous Mnssey Harris farm implements, and besides stocking these extensively thei-e is always a due regard given to spare parts, and those requiring such can obtain thorn at Manson and Barr's any time. It would be absurd to give a detailed list of all machinery lines stocked by the firm, but special mention may. be made of the Wallace Manure Distributor, Blackstone and Anderson enaines, Domo Separators Daisy Churns, Eidd Milking Machines', Woodyatt. Lawn Mowers, Keystone Thrashing Machines, and many other lines that will interest the man on the land. The firm's hardware stores in Rangitikei street are brimful of builders' and household ironmongery, crockery; cutlery, electroplate, porcelain ware, and every farm requirement. They ■ire Palmerston North and district agents for Wilson (N.Z.) Portland cement, and will quote you for large or small'quantities, complete stocks being carried locally. In view of the fact that electric lighting will be available in Palmerston at an early • date, Messrs. Manson and Barr, Ltd., as agents for Turnbull and Jones, Ltd., are in a position to give the best service to householders in the matter^ of necessary wiring and installing. The firm is specialising in this work, and in order to fully meet the universal conditions' of this great advacsment for Palmerston North are giving liberal terms to those requiring installationi.
