-WORLD’S BEST GOODS BROUGHT TO GISBORNE

Carnival 'Week this' year isees a greater variety than usual of the latest goods from the world’s leading markets on view in Gisborne, many being seen here for the first time. In honor of the occasion most of the more progressive firms in the town are making special displays at their premises and, in addition,- some attractive displays will also' bo seen at tho A. and P. Show to-day. GARS TO SUIT ALL POCKETS. ORMOND’S DISPLAY. VATJXHA'LL, BTJIOK, OLDSMOBTLE AND CHEVROLET. Foremost amongst the trade exhibits at this year’s Show is Messrs. Ormond’s Motors stand, on which are exhibited the following popular makes of cars: Vnuxlinll, Ituiek. Oldsmobilc and Chevrolet. Tho most outstanding oar shown this year is the Vauxhall 20-60 li.p. Bedford Saloon. This ear is painted a rich maroon, is very comfortably upholstered, and the finish in every way is what one would expect from a high-class English factory. j»Sinco introduction of the 20-60|y auxMl early in this year, quite If largo fnfrfiFer have been sold ffi plif M New Zealand, fniiS their ponJlqptw is w&i-jdwbmhcm 4 s 1 jo jj|i api iJL sit 'n ni - vers'ary J 8 jocks imlnfiK *#w 25 years triSince tfi cM fofniiftiop? of the Buick Motor j'Coiipaly and the latest model will swpriscrevon those thousands of motorists who have been familiar in the pfst until Buick’s sturdy construction and -wonderful performance. ® Oldsmohile Cars arc represented by Roadster and Sedan Models. Both ears are of very striking appearance and splendid finish in every detail, fitting as they do into a popular price class. Oldsmohile sales are steadily mounting up, the Sedan 510 del priced at €399 being truly wonderful value., Chevrolet Cars have, perhaps, been before the public more in the last two years than any other make of car and the models exhibited tilts year represent the latest production, of the Chevrolet Motor Co. Tfef*. big appeal with a Chevrolet Car is its economical operation which has been proved by thouSsvnds of users all over New Zealand. Chevrolet brings economical transport to families avlio cannot afford the higher-priced cans, but- in buying a Chevrolet they are not buying a car which is in appearance a light oar or a cheap car, for Chevrolet gives the purchaser everything that is incorporated in the more costly cars, the only difference being Chevrolet Motor Car is a smaller car. A great trouble has been taken by Ormond’s Motors staff to present their cars to the public in as attractive a manner as possible, and the lay-out of this year’s exhibit would give credit to any agricultural show in New Zealand. £.

USE OVENDEN’S PAINTS.

With the arrival of spring many housewives are busy spring cleaning the inside of the house and changing the whole atmosphere of tho rooms from dullness to _ brightness. But just as faded and dirty curtains spoil the whole appearance'of any room, so does a rusty and paintless roof make an otherwise spotless house look shabby and untidy. In past years, those desirous of pamtmg their homes had to use the imported brands of paint which wore, at times, very unsatisfactory, besides being too expensive!. Now, however, the local manufacturers, after years of experimenting; can produce a paint which is not only equal to tho imported brands, hut is in some cases superior, and above all, ! can be sold at a much cheaper® pride. These local paints have bbenjp-apidly growing in popular favor, majay nainBerring8 erring them to yie JpijJbrted aJpjfforcncc. Ptv®oJ writ' Snspf J’oincaiecl when good y/ are made in the and fire easily ‘procurable, lint comes direct from A lie maker to tho consumer it: stands to reason that it- will he than tho foreign paints jjmTch have several overhead charges; ’ including a heavy Gnstoms meet on top of the/’actual' cost/md maker’s profit. The locally HKmiifactutcd article comes up to 1 Jjfie required 1 standard, containing best ‘oil and white lend, andVpurchasers. can be sure they arc/getting wlfat they are paying' far and that the product,has not Jrcen diluted with water dr been tVmfgh any other breaking down process. If any district is to-go ahead and become prosperous, local industries must be encouraged. Preference ' should be given to the locally-made article beforethe foreign product, which is sometimes inferior in quality. For too long there - has been a prejudice against New Zealand-made goods, hut this is rapidly .vanishing arid people are learning to. depend more on the country’s resources than to pay a higher price''fqr'-the imported article- Poverty Bay has soriie very fine local industries., one of the best of which' is., paint' making. Many painters and" will testify'to'the excellence of the paints made by Mr. F. B. Ovenden;' arid very few dwellings or'hriildings lately ' erected contain none 'of tin’s maker’s paiints, .whether, it he undercoating, ' finishing or roof paint. These ready-mixed paints, winch are sold in. any quantity, are a .boon .to. many people, whefi-haye not the time to mix their Own paints. Mr. F. B: Ovenden has now .lieen established as a paint maker for five years at 124 Rutene road, being the only'paint maker in Gisborne. '.'Every,, line' in his factory L is* a,; speciality,, 1 that is, the paints', 'are - not nterely commercial paints, hut are made specifically for the- purpose‘.for which they are intended I .' .The -tins containing the paints are mad© speci ally'for,; Mr. Ovenden in shelf a form that they are easily'stowed: riway'in small space and ate alwayb'clean. Most “greens,” it' is interesting To note, are made hv' the Brunswick process, which is a lead process, and that is the reason why Mr. Ovenden is somewhat averse to recomineriding this kind of paint'; IRfecently, Mm Ovenden’ has had: -manufactured -to his' Own order . ‘green sV /based on chromate of zinc, , thife- his r‘greetis • 9 non-poisonousand export painters' confidently ' recommend them as such: - - - ; Mr. Ovenden makes ai speciality- of red' and green oxido roof" paints, which are guaranteed 'to - withstand any deleterious ! pffects of the -weather, ■' ' 1 ■ /’V ' ” ‘

Three new cars which will cause much interest locally, the Dodge Standard Six, the New Victory Six, another Dodge production, and the Hillman Fourteen are now on display at the P.B. Garage in Derby Streat. The Dodge Standard Six is the outcome of long experiences to produce a low priced car that will ont--4 perform any car in its class in both speed and acceleration. It lias more power per pound of ear weight than any other car, with generous factors of safety. 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 fine car. In beauty, in comfort and in style, the surpassing merit of this new Dodge Six is as readily apparent as its performance superiorities. Long lines, graceful blended curves, perfect proportions, smart colorings, wide, yielding seats, ease of driving and convenience of controls, interior luxury and completeness of equipment, all combine to make the Dodge Standard Six easily an outstanding value ’in a. lovypriced fine car. The new car is turned out in four models, the De Luxe, Sedan, Coupe, and Cabriolet, and without exception, each is of handsome and luxurious design. Before the day of the New Victory Six came, luxury consisted primarily of upholstery, paint and color, but yhe tectory makes it br™cally a ma,£wr| iff bodily ease aum riding comprjhapvith richness adddi as the cim\f|mp|f touch.

By its performance in the hands of private owners during— the last twelve months,* the''Hillman Fourteen has proved itself to he all that it has' been claimed to he and worthy of its makers’ twenty years’ experience in building good British -cars. The more important features of the new Hillman are : A chassis improved, to comply with overseas conditions,an d give even better performance than before; a 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 be difficult to sug- ;■ gest further ‘ improvement.
