(Published by arrangement.) AGAIN TO THE FORE.

The Huia Aerated Water Co., of ifasterton, conducted all the booths at the Solway Show just closed to-night, and the great measure- of popularity earned by Mr. Thomson, the manager, and his staff, could be gauged by the 'mormons quantities of their thirstquenchers sold. Tho Huia Co. have certainly made raid strides during the past two years or so, and if the truth must bo told, it is owing to tho high quality of the .-ingredients used, and tho scrupulous care taken in tho manufacture of their beverages that has created tho big demand. It would be impossible to single nut any particular drink for special mention, but if there is a better one than the firm's dry ginger ale the •writer would like to try it! Mr. Thomson, the manager, is a great worker, and one of tho most popular men in the district, with a thorough knowledge of tho trade, and he certainly uses it in the interests of the Huia Co.

(Published by arrangement.) MESSES. T. WAGG AND CO., LTD., Motor Importers, Mastertou.

The Chevrolet was shown in all the latest models, including the fabric sedan, club sedan, roadster de luxe, "Wontworth sedan, and a useful 30ewt truck. Taking into consideration the perfected construction of these vehicles, and the extremely low running cost, tho price of the Chevrolet is very low, ami well within the reach of the average farmer or business man.
