(Published by Arrangement.) W. J. P. H-CULLOCH This firm is 'showing the British Standard Toignmoiitli fabric saloon, which, is a very roomy four-seater, with sunlit top and sliding roof. The front seals are seraibucket type, and arc independently and instantly ad justable. There arc four _ doors of ample width, each fitted , with wind-up windows.. Three of the doors are fitted with a locking device,, the other can be locked from the outside. The upholstering is of the best material. A large rear window is fitted with a blind, which is operated from the driver’s scat. The wheels are Sanky steel. Tliis car is very economical, it is capable of a speed of sixty miles an hour, and will do forty miles to the galton. The “ Standard ” is one of the oldest and bestknown cars in Great Britain, and the price here, with all accessories, .. , . Radio Sets.—Mr W. .1. P. M Cullooh is also showing on his gland what is un- - doiibledly the finest .selection of radio sets : Table models, gramophone and radio combined, and Hie large size .seven-valve cabinet. The cabinets are beautifully built, being of walnut by Malcolm. These machines are acknowledged to be the finest radios in the show, and anyone intending buying a radio will do well to see Mr W. j/P. M’Culloch and.'arrange for a demonstration. The prices range from £4B. It may be ’ mentioned hero that in 1925 the Standard Radio Manufacturing Corporation, Ltd., was organised for the- specific

purpose of manufacturing and marketing what was to be the first radio receiver to operate successfully direct from the ordinary home electric light current, without the use of batteries or chemicals, At the time of this introduction, however, Rogers-Balteryless was, in reality, several j years old—for”, prior to its public announce- . ment, several years had been spent by Mr E. S. Rogers and his associates in ex- ■ tensive research, laboratory development, and rigid testing. As a consequence, the successful performance of Rogers-Battery-less was a foregone conclusion. Each year has witnessed continued research, development, am) refinement in Rogers-Battery-less, by the specialists whose genius first ■ gave completely electrified radio to Cana--1 diau homes. . • Specialisation in electric radio alone, concentration of every energy upon the further development and refinement of this one most advanced principle of radio reception, ' ibc extensive and valuable, experience trained in over four years’ service to the public, with an enviable " record of consis- ; tent and successful progress —have created ’ and maintained for Rogers-Batteryless a , firmly established leadership in the field i of radio reception, , without batteries or chemicals. The most wonderful reception on the Rogers can and is being received without an aerial. . - ‘ Crosslev Radios. Crossley “ Radios are also shown on Mr M'Culloch’s stand. They arc very neat six anil eight-valve sets, in antique box. The public .has already shown its appreciation of Crossley radios, and it is not surprising to learn thaV the exhibitor is doing considerable business disposing of sots. [ Their prices range from £34 10s to £36 10s. 1 CASTLE STREET AMUSEMENT i PARR . Visitors to‘ the city for Show Week have not had half, the fun of the lair 1 unless they have visited the Arnuse--2 ment Park, situated at the corner of ■ Castle and St.'.Andrew streets, on-the 1 spacious section on which the new Fire Station is to be built. The Ferris s Wheel, the Merry Mix-up, the ( elaborate Merry-go-round, the carnival ( orchestral and instrumental music, the 3 courteous uniformed attendants, and the glittering illuminations exert an a irresistible appeal to young and old, 1 and crowds are nightly in attendance. I The park is only a short distance from • the railway station,, while the. Castle I street tram stops alongside the R ’entrance; none can afford to omit a j visit to this replica of the never-to-he-c forgotten Exhibition Amusement Park.
