FREE TEA.
, *«► F.A.C.’S INNOVATION. Visitors to this year's Waikato Winter Show will receive a pronounced surprise when they visit the Farmers’ Co-operative Auctioneering- Company’s exhibit. This will not be caused by the admitted brilliancy of the stands themselves but by the special stand devoted to the serving of teas, thrice daily—free ! To get something for nothing is everyone’s delight—if not aim; to get a good cup of tea at a show, even by paying for it, is a luxury. Therefore a delight and a luxury is promised every visitor to the Waikato Winter Show who cares to partake of the F.A.C.’s hospitality. This is not a purelyphilanthropic move on the company s part but is a genuine, clever effort to advertise the Choice Broken Orange Pekoe Co-op ” Tea. The confidence the company has in its brand is demonstrated by the fact that all are invited to sample. All includes connoisseurs. A point to be made clear is that no one is asked to buy, but the opportunity is offered.
Another feature of the F.A.C.’s stand is that smokers are given the • opportunity of sampling, free of charge, the ever and increasingly popular New Zealand tobacco. Smok-. ers who have not tried New Zealand tobacco should certainly make a point of doing so. In the first place it is very much cheaper than the imported brands ; secondly, it can be smoked continuously by the heaviest pipe smoker without any injurious effects whatever ; thirdly, it should be remembered by smokers a that by using this tobacco they are supporting a New Zealand industry and keeping in the country money which would otherwise go overseas.
The Bagarley Hot Water Heater, which is supplying a continuous stream of boiling, water .to the tearoom, is another F.A.C. exhibit which •every farmer should inspect.
On another section of the stand is Sutton’s magnificent seed exhibit (from the Dunedin Exhibition), which should not be missed, and adjoining this is a splendid display of root crops and seeds.
Saddlery, motor accessories and Viking Separator stands complete a thoroughly-exhaustive and interesting •exhibit —one well worthy of a visit in itself.*
