AN UN-TO-DATE PHARMACY.

MR. IVAN D. BRAMWELL’S POPULAR ESTABLISHMENT.

Sickness unfortunately comes to the majority of people, and oft-times unexpectedly. A .medical man is called in and a. prescription is written out. Tho onus of procuring the best and freshest drugs or’’the compound ordered by. the physician then rests with the relatives or friend of the patient. There are chemists and chemists, but it is essential that the drugs must he fresh, must be measured accurately and* must be dispensed with . a ftsuro and infallible hand. \}’ith th« association of these qualities is one fame above all,others in Gisborne, Mrflvan 1). Bramweil, of tfie up-to-date |establishniens at the corner of Gladstone road and Derby street.

ENCOURAGE LOCAL INDUSTRY, . USE OVENDEN’S PAINTS, ' With tho arrival of spring many housewives arb busy, spring cleaning the insido of tho liouso and changing the whole atmosphere _of tho rooms from dullness to brightness. But just as faded and dirty curtains spoil the whole appearance of room, so does a rusty and paintless roof make an otherwise spotless house look shabby and untidy. In past years', those desirous of painting i'their homes had to use the imported hr grids of : paint' which were, at ' tinner Very unsatisfactory, besides ping -Mo expensive. Now, liowever, fthe llpl manufacturers, after ve?.i.#of eijprimenting. can produce a paint wife is not only equal tc the InportAßirands, but is in some caseS superior, and above all, can be slid Jpt much cheaper price. TheseMooal pants have been rapidly growing in pofular favor, many painters preferring them to the. imported brands.

When .from the maker tor tie §onsmffer it stands' -to reason he much cheaper than -tlfc Jpreign paints which have several fvo JTrliead charges, including a heavyljfustoms tax. to meet on top Pt»tlie actual cost and maker’s proM.

For tool l%affihere has been a prejudice agafnstNew Zealand-made goods, but this is rapidly vanishing and people are. learning to depend more on the country’s resources than to pay a higher or ice for the imported article. Poverty Bay has some very fine local industries, one of the best of which is paint making. Many painters ami builders will testify to the excellence of the paints made by Mr. F. B. Ovenden, and very few dwellings or buildings lately erected contain liono of this maker’s paints, -whether it bo undercoating, finishing or roof paint. These ready-mixed paints, which'arc sold in any quantity, are a boon to niany people, who have not the time to mix their own paints. ' Mr. F. B. Ovenden has now been established ais a paint maker for five years at 124 Rutene road, being the only paint maker in Gisborne. Every lino .in his factory is a speciality, that is-, the paints are not merely commercial paints, hut are made specifically for* the purpose for which they -are intended. The tins containing the paints are made specially for ,/MrOvenden in such - a -form that the# are easily stowed away in a snmll space ■ and are always clean. Mhst ‘ £ greens,” : . it is interesting- to d&te, are made by ; the Brunswick Process, .which is a lead process, and /fchait is the reason why Mr. Ovenden bis somewhat-averse to recommending this kind of paint. Recently, Mr. . Ovenden lias had manufactured to his pwn order “greens” based on •chromate of zinc, this making liis .“greens” ndn-poisonous, and expert painters confidently ■ recommend them as such.;.;. • : -•/ --■/ • -r‘ Mr-.

tyre surgery SERVICE STATION TYRES AND TUBES, MOTOR ACOESSORIES, VULCANISING, LUBRICATING OILS, MOTOR SPIRIT DERBY STREET AND WAIROA Unquestionably tho automobile, is no longer a luxury with tlie farming community—it is now an absolute necessity as a means of transport for the man oil the land. This being an accepted fact every farmer.in New Zealand is interested in the welfare of his car-—the more vital the welfare, the greater the interest—and the most vital part of aii automobile is the tyres. A £IOOO car, equipped mechanically with the best that engineering genius can produce, is quite a ,useless machine if tho tyres aro unsatisfactory. Tho Gisborne Tyro Surgery, in . Derby Street, has, for nine years, given the Poverty Bay .public a service, of helpfulness in tho tyre question. As tyre experts .they are. unequalled in-any part of the Dominion and the motoring public of this district has responded whole-heartedly by the very generous patronage extended to this progressive firm. -Tyre repairs at the Gisborne Tyre Surgery are unequalled, and every kind of tyre repair is executed. Repairs to balloon tyres are scientifically carried out, guaranteeing ; the maximum mileage from an injured tyre. Balloon tyre repairs are quite a different - proposition from high pressure tyre repairs—but this part of the business has been so thoroughly mastered that, to-day, thousands of motorists testify to the reliability of and saisfaction frdln fisborite Tyre Surgery repairs, whelaer to balloon, high pressure o tralck 'makes of reason, the quahf'jjlffiafcjl ive the age, most sat: sfactory and tlie best vamqrtha^Br^vorld’s markets can delMjr^fP^ A most eoijj|(renensive stock of new fresh hallqgpp; high pressure, and truck tffl&sT and tubes are carried, and twe^farmer motorist will save himself many jiounds of tyre expense by paying a visit to the Gisborne Tyj# Surgery premises in Derby St., ojmosito School, #The firm caters for repairs to all of rubber goods besides tyres.

Three new ears which will cause much interest locally, the Dodge Standard Six. tile New _ "Victory Six, another Dodge production, and the Hillman Fourteen are now on display at Lire P.B.

It has pioro power per pound of car weight than any other car, with generous factors of salety in design and materials that guarantee long life and faithful service. In all those vital qualities ' that, collectively, spell motor car satisfaction — power, speed, economy, comfort and beauty --this new Standard Six is more than you have ever expected in a low-priced tine car.

THE HILLMAN'FOURTEEN. By its performance in the hands Of private owners during the last twelve months, the feillman Fourteen has proved itseUOTo be all that it has been thy of its mAkerJ' iwdflftgftiears’ experience iu luiwfng gsscl British cars. * The more important features of the new Hillman are: A chassis improved to comply withjffSyerscas conditions,an d give eymjpoptev performance than wider range of models and colors to choose. from, and bodywork that lias been improved in finish and line to such an extent that it would he difficult to suggest further improvement. V For ; appearance, combined with 'room comfort, and performance—added to '.safety axul economy, ithe Hillman is the least expensive car you man buy. The Hillman is 'still the car. that costs less * than it should. The , Hillman manufacturers have also had all eye to the safe tv of: .the driver. .

Easy means of adjustment are provided and brakes are compensated while the brake-shoes are lined with, die pressed -Fercdo,. The hand brake operates oh a separate i>air of shoes on the rear wheels and is adjustible from 1 the driver’s seat. There are six brakes in. all on the Hillman car. , These two new sixes, the Dodge and the Victory Six and the Hillman i Fourteen are well worth 'an inspection at the P.B; Garage, Derby Street.

MESSRS. JAS. J. NIVEN’S . enterprise. MINIATURE FREEZING CHAMBER FOR THE HOME. INTERESTING EXHIBITION ON SHOW GROUNDS. As a district progresses, so modern conveniences come to hand and to a certain extent the standard of a town or province is marked by up l to-date machinery, both on a large and small scale. The enterprising item of J. J. Niven is as usual well to the fore with its exhibits this year, and the firm’s stall in charge of the popular manager Mr. R. MacLean should prove a centre of attraction at the show td-day and to-mor-irow. In addition to the machinery etc., associated with the firm: a departure is made this year in the form of the famous Kelvinator Electric Refrigerator, which, in simple language, means that it. is practically a freezing chamber on a small scale, which can he installed in any home at. a low cost. The Kelvinator agency for New Zealand has recently been taken over by the firm, and already groat business has been done. Thirtyone different -types are stocked by the -firm- throughout N.Z. and the firm are exhibiting .‘J distinct models, the small size lor household use, a medium size for the larger household and large size for the country homestead, where it is required to accomodate a whole sheep or lamb. • / Kelvinator equipment consists of two parts; first the freezing unit, that goes into the compartment ordinarily used for ice; and second the mechanical unit externally located which extracts the heal, from "the 'refrigerator and thus leaves it cold. .When a .Kelvinator is in operation the freezing unit gets so cold it he-' comes thickly coated with frost. It remains cold constantly, and maintains a very low refrigerator temperature. The trays of the freezing unit are used for freezing crystallike tubes of pure ice for table use or a large number of frozen deserts, salads and other dainties. The mcchanic.-dRj unit that “furnishes cold” tofllhc freezing unit is connected bjjiwo small pines. A simple jpeonnection furnishes the lyTvedL (Jice, the installation is made jfml /|e|fmiQht turned on, one simply t.fie refrigeration. It [stays (Jfd Ifithonl;. attention—colder [than iMiel ever imagined a refrigera[tor could be. The ideal range of Itemnerature front 40 to -50 degree— file zone of Kelvination. bond plnccm in this zone stays fresh for days./- The atmo.sphore_ of the zone of is not moist and clammy. •’ 1$ is dry and actually frosty. Itches the same crisp “sting” as rlie air am a frosty night. There is a rdasojb for this. lujis because the freezing unit is maijpained constantly at ,! a low so cold that the motif Lung crystallises on if, and it soomfbeqjfmos r hiokl.v mated vyTtli mn'c TOutMfrost. The cold frost#?. n.(/3s reproof® and meats are JitwhlrW different from nf>at| diiccj' fMm the market, in a Tmilvifiatifritriiistiness never develops inccauso Kelvinator air is dry air; iff pmserves from conditions broughtjjm by dampness. Jf tliere is a baby in the bouse the Kelvinator is invaluable, as it relieves the mother of endless work and worry. The delicate food for hairy can be prepared for twenty-tour hour neriods instead of half a flozen times*a day. The plant is onerated entirely without water and in a hot climate such as Poverty Bay, the Kelvinator is invaluable. Food placed in the Kelvinator will remain fresh and sweet for many days, and thus save the housewife endless worry. Fish, nutter legions. bananas or any otiier foods* can bn kept side by sifie. The -dry frosty air prevents the transfer of eclours and fki«dors. Crystal-like ctubps of ice are constantly frozen in idle Kelvinator tra.n.-: for cooling other table use. These Will bp colored or llavoArl for special pu-ffses. several days, or foijjMi may be purehasc9vH "Tne, thus eliminating rfi-rajM Japs to market.

It, is -not enough ipt a. refrigerator be cold nart time: it must be cold all time dr the food it contains Kelvinator ma intaine a condition of dry cold all the time, day and night, over week ends, month' after month. After hearing of these desirable advantages one- naturally wonders if the cost of such a thing is unreasonably high. It is not, as may be judged from the range of prices £77 to £176. The Kelvinator withal is a handsome addition to the furniture of the .home, for it is made up in three finishes, oak, white enamel and porcelain. The whole process in connection with the Kelvinator is entirely automatic. When once the Kelvinator is in a homo it requires no attention whatever, and the temperature remains cold indefinitely. Messrs J,. -T. Niven have large stocks in hand at headquarters, but intending purchasers are advised to book their orders as seen as possible. A.S. REFRIGERATING MACHINES. For larger installations such as hotels, butchery or fish business, Messrs Niven and* Co. arc 'agents for the well-known A.S. refrigerating machine, which is also a miniature refrigerating room, but on a much larger scale than the Kelvinator. The” machine will freeze a. capacity of 180 cubic feet and will make 50 lbs of iee in four hours. It fs automatically cut off when the required coldness is' obtained and takes only a one horse-power motor to drive it. No charging is required, and there is no apparatus to get out of order. PERM.UTIT WATER. SOFTENER. The hard water in Poverty Bay, causes much inconvenience in many 1 directions, but one‘can overcome this with the Pennutit Water Softener, which will be seen at the firm’s stand. This machine has been adopted at the Cook Hospital and Old People’s Home and is giving great satisfaction. The Te Arai water, it is interesting to note, has 11 degrees of hardness, but near the Waipaoa it is is high as 31 or 32 degrees. Practically, every homestead in Hawke’s Bay has a Pcrmutit Water Softener installed and the majority of the modern homesteads in Poverty Bay are similarly equipped. , In fact, no station or homestead where‘hard water is natural in the vicinity can be considered Up-to-date without sucTi an invaluable convenience. ELECTRIC WATER HEATER, Another exhibit that will ereate considerable interest iis the “Stuart” Automatic Electric Water Heater, which is manufactured entirely at the firm’s local works. Heating water by electricity has, in the past, not been entirely satisfactory,. hut the automatic heater, which the firm are exhibiting solves the problem entirely, and a continuous supply or practically boiling water is guaranteed. The cold water is boiled over into a cylinder of whatever size is required, and when the cylinder is

full, the current is automatically switched off;/ As hot water is drawn from the cylinder the current is automatically switched on and boiling water replaces that drawn off. An automatic device has been provided to cut off the current should the cold water supply fail, and immediately the water is again available the current is nutomaticlly switched on. Being entirely automatic the heater is highly efficient nd considerably reduces the cost, .of running. The heater is fool proof and all that is required is to switch on the current and forget about it. Any size, heater can be supplied and anybody interested! in electric water heating should not fail to inspect this exhibit
