asss 1-5 QUALITY is more important than the price tag! Beware of "cheap" furniture. It is "cheapened" by skimping the INSIDE quality. SURFACE appearances are but "skin-deep." Many a smiling face hides an aching heart So look before you—BUY! Remember this— the LITTLE extra in the cost between "cheap" furniture and COLLIE-HONESTLY-BUILT FURNITURE makes a HUGE difference in the LIFE! This is why Collie's Furniture Represents such Excellent Value! It is essentially first-class, high-grade furniture (made possible by our excellent values) because of our factory being in the low rent area — ' and because we sell direct-to-you at GENUINE FACTORY PRICES —we can make possible Wellington's Greatest Furniture Values! Anyone earning an income can afford "Collie-built" furniture, became of its sterling VALUE and our— EASY PAYMENT PLAN! See the example of excellent craftsmanship at present in our windqwi.

. THE BATTLE OF THE BUSES What a selfish lot of folk we are! I'ancy us refusing to pay a miserable extra twopence when tho wisdom of the Board of ' Trade's at stake. ,4 Look at it this way. Tramway systems must be protected from unfair competition « —look how they are handicapped. Tramcars cannot dart here, there and everywhere to pick up passengers; they cannot pull in to the kerbside and stop when you want to alight. They aro bound down to their straight and narrow way. Their seats cannot be upholstered even—because if they were, they wouldn't be tram seats. But the trams belong to you, citizen and citizeness —at least you pay rates to support them. Wny, look at the Gisborne Tramways— gone thoroughly bung, without any competition. Don't let us put too much" strain on our own system—especially as Brooklyn, after all f these years has just had a double tram track laid round Seager's corner. Consider the lonely silence of a tramless city. Gone are the familiar sights and sounds. Never more will we hear down the street the Tattle of skeletons fighting in a tin bath— i and say one to another: "Lo, our car cometh, ; cheerio!" The staccato melody of concrete . street drills fades into a happy memory and we console ourselves with the thought that there is always NBES. We wander up Cuba Street and down Ghuznoe Street. Here at least Time has brought only better values. A carpenter—we walk in. and make several profitable replacements to' our tool kit. Wo fix the place firmly in our mind—NßES—the Tool People—who sell only tools —finer tools—and for less. Yes —-decidedly—we will shop there again. . . || regulations' || ii mmi in i^BB • XTTT 'MmM^: ill \\ f^Hb "Helping out the Transport Problem" I BICYCLES OHEAFBR Best British / AE2> . > 36 !••. M.
