An exhibition .of,- wonderful educational value is being ,imi4e.#t. the Dominion Dairy Show by the Para Rubber Company, Ltd. This is perhaps one of the most taking displays in the whole Show, as it is composed entirely of rubber gco-s, ranging from infants' syringes to large coils of hose. The diversity of the company's stock is too well known to need intensified description by us, but suffice it to say that its claim of "everything in rubber is well justified; indeed,.,.,the difficulty would be to" find, anything" they do not stock in the rubber l!ne. It is particularly noticeably that the motoring public are taking exceptional. interest in the exhibit s oi bor^. tyr^eS, which have come rapidly ihto prominence "in' New Zealand owing to, their,,,many .advantages over . the ; pla>fa*hiflfte(J canvasconstructed tyre.: The .company are the largest distributors.pf. tyre*, tubes, and general rubber goods in.the Dominion, and; as can be gatheredtfrom. the big collection of the .'Various kinds, and sizes of tyres at, the stand, ithey handle many of the most popular makes, including the American fabric and cord tyres, for which they hold the- sole New Zealand agencyy also Goodrich and Silvertown cord tyres, which are made in millimetre sizes, with beaded edge as well as straightside type, Goodrich solid truck tyres, and several other prominent brands. The company also makes a specialty of j milking machine rubber ware of first [ quality, and i-arry complete stocks of all rubbers required by every make of machine on the market. Mr. Skjellerup the Hawera branch manager, informed our reporter that the success of the company was mainly due to the firm specialising in purely rubber goods, to the moderate prices they charge for their high-grade lines, and to the cxi cellent and prompt service they are able to give with their tyre and tube ; repair work. A contributing factor is that all the goods they sell are substantially guaranteed* to "be to the purchasers' complete satisfaction.
