LEADERSHIP IN RADIOLA RADIOLA THE WORLD’S BEST. MESSRS LAIDLAW AND COMPANY’S DISPLAY.

Messrs G. E. Laidlaw and Company,' Limited, the well-known and progressive house, have arranged a. splendid exhibit of radio at the Winter Show, their spacious ancl well-appoint-ed stand being situated in the Defence Hall. During the past seven years this firm has built up a line reputation for straight-dealing and honest value, and through their practical knowledge of radio and their ability to fulfil all local radio service requirements they have been appointed sole agents foi t lie world’s best radio —RADIOLA. With pride and confidence Messrs Laidlaw and Company introduce the RADIOL A- —pride in the fact that the engineers and manufacturing resources of RADIOLA and its associated companies have once more surpassed even their own previous achievements, and confidence that the new RADIOLA receiving sets will meet the exacting: requirements of Hawera radio enthusiasts Every new model demonstrates that new levels of performance have been obtained in selectivity, reliability, ease of operation, range and sturdy construction. The RADIOLA is the work of the same engineers and scientists who designed the leading broadcast stations of the world, who perfected the valve, who introduced the electro-dynamic speaker, who developed and perfected the wonderful SUPERHETE'tRODYNE. circuit, who gave the; industry “all electric” operation, who developed SCREEN-GRID RADIOTR.O'NS and the SCREEN-GRID circuit.

With the RADIOLA combination radio and gramophone set on display, Messrs Laidlaw and Company present the complete modern instrument, for homo entertainment, .reproducing both broadcast and recorded music. This superb instrument employs tire: sensational SCREEN-GRID valves, tin famous electro-dynamic loud speaker and a mechanism for reproducing recorded music, utilising the loud speaker and a part of the Radiol a circuit. An induction disc motor drives the. record turntable, and an automatic stop operates at tli© end of tiie record. A tone-arm and electric pick-up of radically now design are employed and space is conveniently provided for the filing of records. This set and also the table and console, models on view are beautifully constructed and would lend an air of dignity and refinement to any room in the home.

It is of interest to learn that in a, recent test in Hawera in which seven radio combination sets were demonstrated against the RADIOLA, the latter, after a trial of six weeks, was adjudicated the leader for its selectivity, sensitivity, tonal perfection and soundness of construction. /RADIOLA has, therefore, scored another victory for SCREEN-GRID reception and reproduction of broadcast sound. As a further indication of the popularity' and outstanding performance of the Radiola, one shipment expected in New Zealand shortly has been oversold by one firm to the extent of 89 combination radio and gramophone sets. Visitors to the. show should not faii to consult Messrs Laidlaw and Company's radio expert, who will be pleased to give any information desired or to arrange for private demonstrations of RADIOLA. It is not only the company’s duty to itself to sell a good radio, but to help the owner to enjoy the greatest possible ~use of his set for the longest period of time at a minimum of trouble and expense. Select your SCREEN-GRID RADIOLA at the show, and be assured of manylong years of trouble-free entertainment. WALLACE MILKING MACHINE FINE EXHIBIT STAGED AT WINTER SHOW One of the- most outstanding machinery exhibits at the Winter Show is that of the well-known Auckland firm of D. McL. Wall ace. Ltd., who are displaying for the first time in Hawera the latest innovations in milking plant. Messrs D. McL. Wallace, Ltd., who are alreadv well established through-

out the Auckland province and whohave been operating for some time past in the south, appear to have come to Taranaki to stay. The firm has linked up with the. Taranaki Chain Stores, the latter acting as provincial agents for northern headquarters, so that, acting in conjunction with Messrs D. McL. Wallace’s own Taranaki staff, Taranaki farmers are assured of a thorough and a most efficient service. Mr C. H. Stephenson, who has been connected with D. McL. \\ allaee, Ltd., for the past 15 years, is now in charge of operations in Taranaki and all business transacted with the. firm through him will receive best of attention.

The “SUPER WALLACE MILKING MACHINE” and the “MATCHLESS” milking machine are: the centre of attraction to every farmer entering the Machinery Hall. Both machines are of the highest quality in material, design and finish and it- is evident that the manufacturer lias achieved, all that could be desired in these machines in the way of simplicity in operation and efficiency of service. There is nothing to suggest “cheapness” about them, and one is agreeably surprised to learn the very reasonable price at which one of these machines may he purchased. In conversation with Mr G. McL. Wallace, who will personally supervise demonstrations during show week, it was stated that the Cook Hospital, Gisborne, for several years past lias used a “Wallace” machine at its farm and was ono of the many satisfied users in the Bay of Plenty district. The Wellington Public Hospital was supplied with fresh milk daily from Mr Huse’s farm at Upper Butt. Mr Huse also used a “Wallace” machine and it was significant' that milk Iron his herd contained the lowest percentage of bacteria, due to highly sanitary operation of the “Wallace than the milk passing through am other type of machine. In a side by side comparison with hand-milking machine milking with a “Wallace again proved that there was a love; percentage of bacteria in favour of the latter method. ~ . A feature of the “Wallace is the vacuum pump, shown in cross section. It is the totally enclosed twin-cylmdei type, fitted with self-aligning bal. hearings, forged steel crankshaft ana steel valves made from the solid. This pump is extremely easy to drive and i minimum of power is required. It wil. be noticed that the working model oi view is driven with a piece of light string in place of the usual belt. A six-cow plant requires only a one horsepower electric motor, and the wlioh milking and separating entailed in ; 40-cow herd may be completed at the very nominal cost of fourpence a remarkable performance. The “MATCHLESS” milking machine lias been constructed especially for the requirements of a farmer witl a small herd and includes all the improvements and innovations to b< found in the “SUPER, W T ALL ACE.’ The “Matchless” is constructed fron highest quality materials to suit a two stall shed and is available to every farmer at a. most reasonable price. After /a thorough examination oi these, machines one must arrive at tin conclusion that by installing a “Wallace” on every farm in New Zealand the quality of our cheese and buttei exports would be increased to the highest possible, standard. Another feature of the exhibit is tin D. McL. Wallace famous CATER PILLAR, GRASS HARROW' and ; working model of a SAFETY HAY STACKER, Both are designed along the lines of greatest utility and arc of the same high standard as all otliei products of this firm. It is well to remember that Mr. C H Stephenson, the Taranaki managei for D. McL. Wallace, Ltd., is stationed at Stratford, where he has nuclei his control a large and fully stock oh bulk store. The twelve branches o' the Taranaki Chain Stores also carry full stocks of replacements. Mr Laurie Pitts is the local representative TRUTHFUL PORTRAITURE TORNQUTST STUDIOS, NEW PLYMOUTH. Tornquist Portrait Studios, New Plymouth, present for the first time ir Hawera a most attractive display o ! high-class photography. This stand is

arranged in the Main Exhibition Hall at the Winter Show, and for their outstanding merit the various studies must attract a great deal of attention. The Tornquist Studios use the finest equipment in New Zealand for the production of their work.

Hon. S. M. Bruce.

There is nothing so intimate and acceptable -as the picture of a friend, providing it reveals him oilier at their best, " The Tornquist Portrait Studios are prepared to secure such a picture of every customer, for they- do not wish it to be thought that they are photographers of professional people only.
