On the corner opposite Messrs Roach s’ Ltd., a neat sign attracts the eye. It points the way to one of the largest an dmost up-to-date electric therapeutic and message institutions in New Zealand. Mr. Harold S. Bayliss has now been in practice in Hastings for over seven years and bv efficient and up-to-date methods has earned a. wide-spread reputation as the result. The surgeries are situated on the corner of King and Knight streets, and here are to be found delightfully appointed rooms fitted with every modern electrical appliance for the treatment of human ills, and we feel that there are a great many people in Hastings and surrounding districts who do not vet know or appreciate this valuable asset to the district. It was during the war that massage and electricity came most before the public as a healing agency, for then, the governments of the different countries spent thousands of pounds on the installation of institutions throughout the world, for the treatment of their suffering soldiers, and the success that was the result has placed the profession on a high standard. Recent statistics show that 95 per cent, of all complaihts benefit greatly from these treatments. All forms of sprains, dislocations, fractures, bone muscular nervous, and internal complaints respond to it. Mr. Bayliss’s plant consists of apparatus for administering high frequency, autocondensation, violet and ultra-violet rays, blue light, diathermy, faradic, galvanic, and sinu sordal currents, ionisation. radiant heat baths (local and general) electric water baths. X-rays, vibration, etc. We know that Mr Bayliss will be delighted to show and explain his apparatus and its application to anyone interested at any time. HASTINGS FURNITURE AND WARDROBE DEPOT.

The morning and afternoon teas arc dainty and delicious. WILSON & CANHAM, LTD. A firm that has made rapid strides in keeping with the progress of Hawke’s Bay is that of Wilson and Canham, Ltd., hide and skin merchants, Hastings. The business was established about 10 years ago in the building now’ occupied by Walker’s garage, but the place proved altogether inadequate for the large volume of business being transacted by the firm, and so the freehold porperty of the colrner of St. Aubyn street ami Karamu road was acquired. The business has still further increased under the management of Mr. W. J. Perritt, who has always endeavoured to give a square deal to those doing business with him, combined with courtesy and civility. The firm caters for all classes from the small farmer to the hig freezing works, and no doubt will continue to receive the substantial support that has hitherto noted its operations. Messrs. Wm. Haughton and Co., of Australia, recently acquired the interest or Mr. Wilson (who has been forced to retire owing to ill-health). Messrs. Wilson and Canham. Ltd., are cash buyers of hides, calf skins, wool, ♦allow, sheepskins ,horse hair, etc.

ID.S.L., NAPIER. This enterprising firm has shipments coining forward, periodically, froir Homo and American firms, so that the very latest fashions arc, in season, i exhibited in their windows. To keej I abreast of the times has always been the aim of the D.S.L., and their splendid * displays from time to time afford abundant proof of their success in getting the latest ideas from the Homt, and foreign markets. The millinery department is perhaps one of the foremost in New Zealand, and just now’ with its creations in Parisian models and trimmed hats, it is well worthy of a visit. Hosiery, gloves, laces, aro all on view of the very latest designs, from large stocks in stock give a much wider selection than usually falls to the lot of the purchaser. The men’s section is [not neglected, and sports coats, flannels, blazers, together with the latest designs in box suits, afford a wide and fashionable selection. The country order department is treated with the greatest care, all orders by post having every attention and if the goods ordered are not exactly as required they will be willingly exchanged to ensure complete satisfaction. D. BAKER-GABB. The new model “Republic’’ trucks, two ton and three ton, chassis of which will be shown have incorporated in their design the most approved or engineering principles.

Dennis. —This world renowned and popular truck will be represented in a 2-21 ton chassis which has just come to hand to the order of a local-body. The word “Dennis” will recall to every returned soldier the days of hardship and strife during the late war. They were used by the thousands in Franco ami always delivered the goods. The power unit, strength, and design of chassis are a masterpiece of engineering skill which will bear the closest scrutiny of the most critical truck man. Messrs. Dennis Bros. Ltd., Guilford, England, are the manufacturers,

A new and interesting feature of this year’s exhibit which undoubtedly will attract much attention is the four-ton “Sentinel” steam dump truck on solid tyres. This 'type of haulage is becoming very popular amongst commercial truck users on account of the low operating costs and less depreciation. The Sentinel is the first of the modern development on steam lines to come to Huw’kc’s Bay. It is of English manufacture, built at Shrewsbury, England. Solid tyres are inseparable from modern transport. A great ar,ray or these will be shown, from the small size as fitted to oiie ton runabouts to the huge giant, for the five-six ton trucks and costing a sum of money per tyre that would stagger the unthinking motorist. The “Goodyear” solid is chiefly in evidence, being the most popular solid tyre amongst truck men. Evcrj r prospective and real dairy farmer will be interested in the L.K.G. Milking Machine for which this firm is the Hawke’s Bay agents. For many years this machine has been the most popular throughout the great dairying districts of New- Zealand.

A number of pedigree Jersey breeders have installed the L.K.G. such as Messrs. Bevan. Booth and others.
