WERTHEIM Sewing Machines The Werthr.im Sewing Machine wasn’t built ir. a day—it is the result of nearly 50 years of constant endeavour along those progressive lines that lead to supremacy. During all that time we have been adding improvements to improvements and even when tha highes*' point of perfection seemed to have been reached we have pushed forward again, simplifying a part here, strengthening a part there, always making the motion just a little quieter, the machine just a little easier to manipulate, the accuracy with which each part performs its allotted work a little more perfect. ft is for these reasons that the Wertheim is easily the most popular Sewing Machine to-day. Our prices are easy and our terms are easy too. $ wm Sift is J£S3 m m SILENCE, RUNNING, SIMPLICITY L si a SOLE AGENTS. * Mill

A PROMISING INVESTMENT. o THE TARANAKI N.Z. OIL WELLS, LIMITED. The Prospectus of the Taranaki N.Z. Oil Wells, Ltd., is issued to the public. The Board, headed by the Earl of Rail' furls', is exceptionally strong. idix George Clifford, of Stonyliurst,- Christchurch, and Sir John Lane Harrington, K.C.M.G., of London, will join the Directorate after allotment. The Oil Trust, Ltd.,, will act as secretaries and managers, and Mr J. D. Henry, the eminent expert, whose report on Taranaki Oil recently was so emphatic and enthusiastic, will continue t-o be tne technical adviser. The Taranaki N.Z. Oil Wells, Ltd., is formed to acquire the oil rights over some live thousand acres of oil lands at New Plymouth so far held by the Taranaki Potrolemn Company, Ltd. On the property are three flowin'7, wells, yielding firteeu thousand gaw lons of oil' per week. Over three hundred thousand gallons are already stored pending the erection of a refinery. The quality of oil in the threa wells now flowing is remarkably high, containing over seventeen and a half par cent of paraffin wax. Craigs, 01 Paisley, recognised authorities, state: “ Wo are aware of no natural petroleum which has been found to he so rich in this valuable product.” Taranaki oil lias become a practical enterprise of a magnitude which cannot fail to impress the public. It is significantly a development which means much to those who are in a position to acquire an interest. New Zealand, as a dominion, is naturally to a bigger extent still concerned in its success. ' The establishment and expansion of this great industry should, in short, be regarded as an important national achievement! 1
