TUCKER'S CLUB HOTEL, Palmerston North. It is thirty years ago to-day since Mr. H. B. Tucker, managing director of Tucker's Club Hotel, came to Palmerston ■ North and established this firstclass hostelry. During all the years that have intervened the "Club" has been maintained as one of the finest businesses of its kind in the Dominion. It has a reputation for service second to none, and is regarded as the homo of the tourist traffic in this centre. The fact that the house has always, been under the control of the Tucker family, and an unfettered one from a trade point of view, ensures the supply of all that is best in the way of. ales, wines, and liquors, most of which is imported direct from the world's best markets. The club vaults, where single bottles are sold at wholesale rates, has mado the hotel an important factor with consumers, not only in Palmerston North but;over a very wide area of the North Island. The grounds surrounding the hotel which are nearly two acres iv extent have been beautifully laid out in lawns aiul gardens, and really surpasses anything of the kind in New Zealand. The fourteen lock-up motor garages and twelve up-to-date samplerooms .provided for guests are features which endow the Club with special claims to the best class trade, including that of motor and travellers' associations and overseas visitors. Mr. Tucker's long association with the trade has brought him into contact with all classes of the community, and there are few of his acquaintances over all those years that will begrudge himself, Mrs. Tucker, and family continued prosperity and good.health to carry on his and their great work in providing firstclass accommodation for visitors to Palmerston North. —Advt. ■(Published by arrangement.)
