[Published by Abba.nqduent.] ELLIS AND EDWARDS, Bakers, Pastrycooks, and Confectioners, Palmerston North, The above firm has acquired the old-established and well-known business for so many years conducted by Messrs. Whitehead and Ellis, and has set out to completely revolutionise every department. Mr. J. Ellis, the principal of the now firm, is one of the Ijest-lcnown tradesmen in the Dominion', while Mr. Edwards, whoso special department is the accountancy and checking, is a near relative of the principals, and is, like Mrs. Edwards, well and favourably known in Palmerston North. The new firm has installed several new- and up-to-date delivery vans, one of which is illustrated elsewhere in this issue, and have opened a new branch business in Featherston strest, opposite Palmerston's picturesque Central School. The main shop and factory.is still in ,Main ; .street, .however, and tho shop in the,square has been considerably improved upon by' features introduced by Mrs. Edwards, who is rccog- ! nised as a past master at decoration and attractiveness. A special engagement has been made with a baker and pastrycook, wHo is a championship medallist in bread and smallgoods. A display of this expert's many medals surrounding wedding cakes that hid been made by him the other day in one of the firm's windows caused much favourable comment, and augurs well for the future success of this old-established business. The firm has two stands at the present Show, where confectionery, soft drinks, and many special lines of chocolates can be had by visitors. "When visiting Palmerston North, wend your weary way to Ellis and Edwards 'a, Main street or Square shops, and enjoy a first-class cup of refreshing tea, meat pies, cakes, scones, etc. They give the best attention and fare. rROM FACTORY TO HOME. Mr. "George Skinner, proprietor of the furniture factory in Main street, opposite the railway station, Palmerston North, has set out to show home furnishers that a big saving can be made by purchasing' furniture direct from his factory. _ Skinner furniture, is constructed with absolutely the best material and good seasoned timber. The quality cannot be excelled, and Mr. Skinner .rightly asks why should the public be compelled to contribute to high overhead charges and pounds extra for a name, when his furniture is the best built, the best finished, and better value than can be had elsewhere in the district? A special concession is being made this week in all upholstery. Consult George Skinner, the furniture man. j ' -■ _____ SOME MOVING REMARKS. "It's marvellous, my dear," remarked Mrs. Shifter to Mrs. Smart. "Not a thing broken! I watched them unloading the lorries containing your furniture. My experience was co different." "Marvellous'? Not al all!" remarked her neighbour. "Child Bros, did tho job for us; they arc experts you know. It was really ' Child te play' to them. They've the largest carrying plant in Palmerston North —motor-lorries, horse transport —every facility, including the trained men for such work." "And how did you find out about Child Bros?" "My husband is a building contractor, you know—read their advertisement in the paper. One trial was enough to convince his firm. They've done quite a lot of heavy haulage, cartage, and all sorts of transport work for him since, and given absolute satisfaction. I've started to obI tain my wood and coal from them. ■ Matai, rata, and maire firewood in suitable lengths. Their coal —Glen, Newcastle, and Westport—is the best too. Glen coal is admirable for the kitchen. It's clean, doesn't smoke, or soot up—saves a lot of ■ uuneeesj sary cleaning. Expensive? Not at all. Every job or every 'sale Child Bros, do or make is based on that most admirable business maxim— they're not satisfied unless their customers are. Tell your husband about them; they'll prove useful in making his Customs clearances. In fact, they give perfect service in every way. DODGE BROS. AND AUSTIN CARS. Show Display by Walter Turner, Ltd. ■ The motor section is certainly a popular feature of the present Palmerston -North Show. Among the more attractive exhibits is that made by Walter Turner, Ltd., Palmerston North, and I district agent for Dodge Bros., and the popular English. Austin. There are prominently displayed at the firm's stand a Dodge .coupe;' a tourinjr car with a very handsomo colonial body, and. a three-seater roadster, as well as a 20 and a 12 h.p. Austin touring mode). Those indicated above, while not embracing tho complete display by the firm, seem in some way to attract a deal of public attention. Dodge Bros have not simply brought out a complete new . lino of motor-cars. They have done something infinitely wiser and better than that. They have brought new beauty, new riding ease, and new mechanical perfection to the product on which their reputation as car builders has been founded. They have built a better and more desirable line of mo-tor-cars, yet basically and fundamentally tho identity of their product Temains the «ame. The same sturdy engine as well | as the same dependable starter is under the bonnet. But the rear springs now underslung have been materially lengthened. The wheel base, too, is longer, and the combined result is a notable improvement in the riding qualities. Bod ies of all types have been designed to give improved appearance and -greater comfort. Longer, lower, with wider seats and,'more leg rpom, the lines of these new cars are low swung and graceful, the interiors are more comfortable and roomy. Now head lamps and fenders, "specially designed by Dodge IJros. to' conform' with the general lines of the popular car. Otl-.u- features arc long, straight hoods, with cowl effect, longer and wider running-boards, unusually wide doors, combination stop signal and tail lamp, and instruments attractively grouped on a raised panel, etc., all of which seem to make the Dodge an excellent. proposition for all classes. The Austin" 20, which everyone .recognises a.? being iu'the front rank of British cars, not only on the score of dependability but also on the score o f distinctive merit in the sphere of utility, should, like the Dodge, engage yew elese «tt<mtleu if in dweU pf i> reliable »ud «l« ««•-
