First Day of Spring Show

First Day of Spring Show

Glorious Weather But Poor Attendance ADDITIONAL PRIZE LIST Those -would-be prophots who, last week, declared that the weather couldn’t bo anything but wot for the Palmerston North Show, were tor once wide of the mark. It was quite evident from an early hour yesterday morning that the day was going to be one of Spring’s mildest efforts, and towards midday the atmosphere grew warm under the glow' of an unobscured sun. , Notwithstanding this, the patronage bestowed upon the Show was disappointingly small, when compared with the first day of the last three years, the gate takings being as fol-

lows:— 1926 45 3 1 1925 (election day . . 140 IS 9 1924 (Royal Show) . S 8 10 0 1923 43 *> 6

Tho big increase last year was no doubt due to the fact that shops were closed in tho afternoon for the gencial election, which also brought many additional people to town. The opening day attendance is never expected to be large, but in view of the fine weather, it was generally thought that more country folk would have attended. But confidence is in the air and with a continuation of sunny days, there is no doubt that tho grand total, when the gates Anally close, will be equal to, if not better, than that of previous years. Much of the judging was done yesterday, but cattle, sheep and horses ijvill parade before the adjudicators this morning. The only live stock disposed of yesterday in addition to a small horse' section, were pigs. The quality of the exhibits was excellent, but numbers were affected by the clashing of this show with the Waikato event, many breeders preferring to go north in view of the Royal exhibition following a week later in Auckland. Chief interest, however, centred in the special classes for pork and bacon pigs, a new innovation. Many breeders were present to see the judging in tho pens, after which the pigs were trucked to the abattoir to be killed, dressed and weighed. The carcases will bo exhibited In tho Produce Hall on Thursday, when a demonstration and address will be given by the judge, Mr. H. Stuart, of Christchurch, on the essentials necessary in a perfect animal for the purposes named. A scale of points on which tho carcases are to be judged has been decided upon, and the pen scoring the highest aggregate points will be the winner. In the purebred sections, Mr. J. A. Russoli, of Gillespie’s Line, was a most successful exhibitor. With his Berkshires be scored 3 firsts, 5 seconds, and one third prize, in addition to annexing the champion sow and reserve champion boar tickets. With Tamworths he secured champion boar and sow, the reserves going to Mr. E. P. Nielson, of Tiakitahuna. Judges’ Comments HOME INDUSTRIES. An appeal for more consideration from the Association in the matter of prizes for the cooking classes was voiced by Mrs. A. Clark, of Featherston, who adjudicated in the section for preserves and pickles. This was the section which gave housewives the hardest and hottest work, and their efforts should be worth a great deal more than a 10s prize especially when the cost of the exhibits was taken into consideration. Many of tho articles were unfit for consumption after the Show, and consequently a loss to the exhibitor. It was different in the case of needlework, or the stork exhibits which suffered no damage and could be put to future use. Mrs. Clark was disappointed with the number of entries In the preserves and pickles classes. The Feilding Association could sot Palmerston North an example, whore splendid prizes attracted large entries. Palmerston North was unfortunate perhaps in having its Spring Show at the end of tho jam-making year, when most of the manufactures had been used up, but even at the Winter Show, when the larder was fuller, tho number of entries was no larger. The Feilding Association also had a magnificent prize for tho competitor gaining tho most points in the Show. This trophy could bo won by a competitor in the Home Industries class, just as readily as a cattle or sheep exhibitor. This showed a gracious consideration for the hard work that the ladies had to undertake in preparing their comestibros. And why should that not be so ? The cooking exhibits were tho result of skill and good judgment whereas the stock-owner often ran away with a magnificent prize solely because he had money enough to purchase good animals.

Sirs. D. McDonald, of Koputaroa, ■who judged the cookery, supported the remarks of Mrs. Clark. She was emphatic that better prize-money would encourage more exhibits. The time taken and cost of material did not make any effort worth while under present conditions. There was jtlso the loss of the exhibits to bo considered, and she had no doubt that this fact played an important part. People could not afford to waste food in the present strenuous ti mos. In this connection Palmerston Korth could take an example from Huv.-era, where a glass case was provided for the fruit, cakes, and more costly exhibits. They wore thus kept clean and dust free, and could bo used when taken home. Mrs. McDonald was Quite sure that manv

housewives would not enter expensive cooking so long as it was to be left uncovered.

Speaking of the quality of the exhibits, Mrs. McDonald expressed disappointment with the cake classes, and the fruit cakes especially. It was a pity more attention had not been paid to mixing and baking. In these days of gas and electrical stoves one expected to see better quality. The other cooking was excellent and the children had surpassed themselves.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS. The judge of. 'the Technical; and High School work was Mr. L. J. Watkin, of Wellington, an erstwhile resident of Palmerston North. In his comments upon the exhibits, he expressed tile opinion that generally, the Technical School work was not up to past standard, although one or two exhibits were outstanding. He gave great credit to the pen and ink drawings hy Miss Muriel Wilson, a pupil of the Palmerston North Technical School, .-The action drawings of pupils of the Woodford House (Havelock), were also very praiseworthy. Tho landscape class was disappointing. The work of the High Schools was on a higher level. The classes for original designs, based upon plant forms, and (ho raffia work, were particularly good. Mr. Watkin individualised the work of Miss Joyce Willetts, of the Wanganui Technical College, which he considered especially good.

_ PHOTOGRAPHY. Mr. A. W. Eaten, of Wellington, judged the photography for the first time, ’file work, ho said, speaking generally, was of a high order, and in many instances lie had difficulty in finalising the first a.vard. Mr. Eaton expressed disappointment that there were not more photographs from Palmerston North and district exhibitors. Practically all tho prizes wont to outside competitors. The absence of local exhibitors also accounted for the almost entire absence of pictures of the Manawatu. This was to 1)0 regretted. A largo number of scenes were of places outside tho Dominion. Mr. Eaton stated that more Now Zealand work should be shown, and where possible, ho always gave preference to them. The best photograph in tho section was shown by Mr. E. ,T. Robson, of Wellington —a mountain scene entitled "Nature’s Stronghold." The same exhibitor also won tiic points' prize in tho open class. In the amateur class there was some disappointing work, and there wore few entires. Miss Inez E. Wells, of Hawcra, displayed a pleasing picture for a junior under 13 years, and showed groat promise. The only scenes of the Manawatu were three small photographs by' A. J. Bowden, of Palmerston North, who was very highly commended for his work. Tho judge pointed out that several photographs in the class for Now Zealand landscapes wore not landscapes at all. Tho winning picture was rather spoilt by the presence of a rnotor-car in tho foreground. PIGS. Commenting upon tho pigs, tho judge, Air. W. B. Grant, of New- Plymouth. regretted the paucity of entries, no doubt the result of tho Waikato and Royal Shows acting as a, counter attraction. Tho animals shown, however, wore very good. Berkshires formed tho strongest class, and he was pleased to see an absenceof leg deformities that was undermining the stamina of this breed. Tamworths were also strong, but Large Blacks and Large Whites, two breeds that were really just being started, were present only in ones and twos. Mr. Grant stressed tho necessity for breeders to concentrate on length in pigs, in view of the prospects in export of pork and bacon.

FLEECE WOOL. “Taken as a whole the fleece wool Was of a very standard,” remarked th judge, Air. J. R. Frame, of Wellington.. "It is (he nicest display I have seen at a show, and I can see from the donees that breeders arc adopting the right breeding linos to secure an absence of hairs in tho wool.” Air. Frame staled (fiat, he had found it hard work separating some of the prize-winners. One Or two fleeces showed signs of tenderness due to the weather Hi rough which the. sheep had come. Tho exhibits of Win. Perry and Son (ATasterton), N. P. Nielsen (Tiakitahuna), and J. A. Mitchell (Longburn), called for special mention. The Gorriodaio class was also o. good one, an especially fine fleece being soul forward by Air. J. I Stringfeiiow. of AVelbcck, Groytown.

Of special interest to all dairy farmers and breeders of pedigree dairy cattle are the “True Type Models’’ of the Friesian Bull and the Friesian Cow which are on exhibition in the Cattle Sheds at the Show. These models were presented by the Holstein-Friesian Association of ,America to the New Zealand hriosian Association, and are being taken to the leading Stock Shows of the Dominion. As the result of several years’ work, on the part of the best judges of Friesian dairy cattle In America, the models typifying the perfect Dairy Bull and the perfect Dairy Cow were modelled life-size hy an eminent sculptor. These models represent the ideal animals that every breeder should aim to produce. The loading official judges of dairy cattle who have seen tho models now on exhibition .at the Mnmwatu Show, speak most highly of their educational value, as setting up that standard of perfection which every judge should bo able to picture ..mm-

Ul ßreeders of all dairy breeds will: And it worth their while to inspect: those models. | The opinion expressed by a P>» i minont Ayrshire brooder on ™ them was that with a few very minor alterations .they would ably as ideal types for that breed.

[Published By Arrangement.] SMALL GOODS SPECIALISTS the kairanga meat co. The Kairanga Meat Co. has long been looked upon as the firm which always gives the public of its best. Picnic parties, the sporting community, who spend much of their leisure out in the open, carrying their meats in the haversack, look to the Kairanga Meat Co. for supplies of fresh pressed meats, cooked ham or sausages in their many varied forms. Inkewise does the busy housewife, with many hurried meals to prepare, take advantage of the cold viands ever procurable from this firm. Why is it ? Just because of the high-class quality of the goods. Buyers pass on the news to others, and the business increases. But the increasing sales do not icacl to la.xity in the preparation of foodstuffs. The same scrupulous care for cleanliness continues to remain. An a.rtosian spring supplies the firm with abundance of clear, pure water, and modern hygienic methods in the preparation of all lines make it abundantly clear tn the observant that the factory management knows what pleases the buying' public. Buy all your luncheon moats at the Kairanga Meat Co. it you would have the best.

SPECIAL BICYCLES Many brands and makes of bicycles have been placed upon the market but only a. few have survived the test of time. That is why, in purchasing a machine, great care has to be used in selecting a tested make. Complete confidence can bo placed in the "Monarch Special” for which the Farmers’ Trading Company. Ltd.. Auckland, arc agents. Special and easy terms are offered.

FAT .PIGS AND CLEAN PIGS PALMER’S SUCROSRfE EXHIBIT. The clay when the pig was considered a dirty animal is fast disappearing. Farmers arc realising that, given suitable conditions, the little friend that pays the rent, can keep himself as self-respecting as the more favoured domestic animals. This improved state of affairs has been largely contributed to by the introduction of suitable feeders of which the Palmer Patent Feeder holds pride of place. The contrivance can be placed out in the open run and can be easily moved about from place to place thus enabling the pigs to keep both themselves and their food clean. This enterprising firm has an exhibit at the Show which members of the farming community should not miss seeing. It is an enclosure adjacent to the motor hall and here can bo seen a number of pigs making actual uso of these feeders and enjoying a banquet of the firm’s equally successful Sucrosiuc, renowned for its fattening qualities. Owing to the lire which recently destroyed the company’s factory in Queen street, Sucrosino had to bo manufactured at me firm’s Addington works but now ai. up-to-dato plant lias been installed in their now premises in Grey stree~ where farmers will be able to procure their Sucrosine or any of the othei well-known stock and poultry foods that Messrs. Palmer and Co. produce.

PIANOS AND GRAMOPHONES Tho stand of tlie Oates' Mus-C Stores on a prominent corner of one of the main avenues of tho trade displays at the Show keeps tho crowd always fascinated by alternations of piano and gramophone music. The firm arc fortunate in the possession Of some leading agencies, foremost amongst which is the Gulbranscn Registering piano, a handsome instrument that registers the exact touch of tho player on each note. The action is so light that a child can play it as easily as an adult. Pianos showing distinction in finish and beauty of tone arc two British makes —the Humphrey, which is being retailed at from £75, and the Spencer at from £95. Those instruments are shown in osk and, mahogany. Something new in this line is the Hamilton bungalow or school piano, which is designed in size to enable a teacher to watch her class while seated at the keyboard. It is overstrung, has the full SS-notc keyboard, and is 100 per cent. British, being marketed at from £BS. Included in the display also is tho Zimmerman, one of the world’s standard makes. Among the gramophones are tho Peerless, Mastcrtonc, and Brunswick, all of which arc loading makes, and arc sold on easy

[Published by Arrangement.] | FARMERS, CONTRACTORS, 1 SAWMILLERS | All Should See the Caterpiller | Tractor at the Show A. S. Paterson and Co., Ltd., confidently bring to the Show the Caterpillar Tractor, and they hope that evciy farmer in the district will at some time during the Show discuss with their representative the merits of this wonderful machine: 9771 of, these machines were supplied to the Allied armies during the war, doing wonderful work hauling heavy artillery through all kinds of difficult country, amid slush and mud beating back the enemy. Now in times of peace they are being used to push [ forward the wheels of progress. They I have found their way to Now Zealand, and there are now twenty Caterpillar i Tractors at work, principally in the Wairarapa and Otago districts. Partners use them for ploughing, and can cut through ground inaccessible previously with horses. This particular machine is unequalled for hiliwork, and what is more, will not overturn. It is the only tractor known which is really successful on hilly country, passing over the sides of hills with us much ease as it does when on level ground. Peculiar to the Caterpillar Tractor is the fact that it has no differential gear, steering being accomplished by a separate clutch for each track, which is wide and long, enabling the tractor to pass over any kind of ground without spoiling the surface. Road builders also will find the Caterpillar eminently suitable for all their needs, whilst sawmillers with heavy logs to drag from almost imj possible places will spend a profitable ■ time if they seek to discuss the suitability of the Caterpillar Tractor for their work with its representative at the Show. Better still, there are two of thes self-same machines now working at Mr. C. Petersen's flaxmill at Bulls, doing invaluable work in the flax swamps. Here proof of their adaptability to any kind of haulage work may be seen. It is hoped soon to arrange demonstrations locally, so that all needing mobile power may eee"for themselves the uses to which | this splendid machine can be applied, i Now, do not run away with the idea j that this is only an ordinary tractor, about which you have been hearing for years.

RUDGE-WHITWORTH EFFICIENCY MESSRS. GREEK Ullij BROS.’ EXHIBIT. The popularity of the motor-cycle as a means of transport grows yearly, which is largely due to the fact that inventive brains are always seeking new methods of ensuring more comfort and greater ease of handling. Ample evidence of these facts may be found in a study of the two handsome and efficient-looking Rudge--Whitworth machines on exhibition at the Show by Mesrss. Greenhill Bros. This truly British product has much to recommend it, and should become one of the most popular on the road. It develops 4.99 h.p., and has four speeds and four valves. One of the most useful of the latest improvements is the interchangeable wheel. The turn of a nut is all that is required to slip either the front or back wheel off and replace it with the spare wheel, only one of which is needed—a provision the value of which will be immediately recognised by motorcyclists. The coupled brakes are another feature ensuring safety, reducing as they do the skidding bogey to a minimum. In the four speeds tVero is a gear to suit all grades, and in the four overhead valves the maximum of power and reliability is secured. The Rudge-Whitworth stand at the Show is sure to be the centre of motor-cycle interest for the next few days.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GAR IN NEW ZEALAND AT THIS PAHMKRSTON NORTH SHOW, At the Palmerston North Showgrounds, visitors will have an opportunity of seeing a full range of the new Nash models, a line of cars which has captured the imagination of New Zealanders by the sheer beauty in its appeal to. the eye, the quality of its mechanism and bodywork, and the unmatched smoothness of its performance. Nash is the car which has exclusive rights to the famous Seaman body, a type of coachwork unexcelled by any country in the world. To the Nash quadruple-sealed motor, 10,000 miles is only a matter of duty. There are a number of Nash cars on New Zealand roads which have been driven in excess of 100,000 miles and quite a few' which have gone beyond the 250,0 00 mile mark, with little more attention than filling up with oil and petrol. Nash Advanced Six and Special models are fitted with Oil Purifier, Petrol Filter, Air Cleaner, and a scientifically titled breather pipe in the crankcase, which totally excludes all dust and foreign matter. The new design of the instrument board adds another touch of dash beauty to a car which has already been acclaimed as “The Most Beautiful Car in New Zealand.” There will also be a special display of the New Bight Six with new' sweeping body lines and tasteful duotone paintwork. This model, like all Nash Cars, is particularly brilliant on the hills and low in petrol and oil consumption. Prices range from £360 to £795 main ports. The Nash exhibit at the Show will include: Advanced Six. 5-passenger, 4-door coupe. Special Six, 5-passenger, 2-door sedan. Special Six, 5-passengcr tourer. Light Six, 5-passenger tourer.

CHILD BEOS

Wood and Coal Merchants, Carriers and Customs Agents, Palmerston North.

No one claims that carrying is an exact science, such as Mathematics, but. Child Bros, do claim that they have got the carrying business down to a line art, brought about by many years experience and constant attention to detail. Years ago horse-drawn vehicles were replaced by the motor and quite a lot of petrol has been consumed as a result, for our fleet of motor lorries is never idle. Furniture removals we specialise in, ans the care with which the work is done, has made for us a reputation to be envied. Another department of the business is the wood and coal department. Barge stocks of both wood and coal are always on hand and all order's placed with us receive our most careful attention. At the present time, Child Bros, are supplying screen metal in all sizes to everyone who wants it. Their mechanical Barber-Greene bucket loader and crushing plant can stand lots of work and orders can be fulfilled with a minimum of delay. Another year has gone bye and still this firms maintains lender-ship in the general carrying business. So far their position is unchallenged. Any communication per phone 6447 or direct to the yards. No G McGifferl Ch-ocr will inimpriioin oliontiftn.

[Published By Arrangement.] FLETCHER HAIL. The motor car has certainly coma to stay, hence we have had more and more to adapt our coachbuildtng to modern requirements, All classes ot motor body work are now done by us in addition to repairs to horse-drawn vehicles, for the horse has not yet taken the "count” altogether. With ove,r 40 years’ practical experience tn this specialised trade customers can entrust their work to us knowing that our prices will be reasonable and our workmanship the best.

THE MINERVA AND HUMBER OARS AT THE SHOW. The enterprising firm from Hawke’* Bay, The Tourist Motor Co., Ltd., are showing some very fine examples of Continental and English workmanship in the new Silent-Knight Minerva and Humber Models. These cars are the "last word” in perfect design and workmanship and a revelation in economy and power. This, exhibit is well worth inspection. Mr. W. B. Blackburn, the firm’s representative, will be in charge and is located at Tucker'* Club Hotel during the week.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR PALMERSTON NORTH LARGE-SCALE furniture FACTORY. A new industry for Palmerston North is announced in the opening of a large furniture factory in Main Street West by Messrs. Taylor and Co., who have erected a big two-storey building opposite the engine sheds. The show-room, lighted by three large plate-glass windows, has a floor space of ISOO feet and the factory is claimed to be the largest of its kind in Palmerston North, having a floor space .of 10,000 feet and all the latest machinery required for the trade. From the yard the rough timber is passed through a band-saw, then on to the planing machine. The boards pass over a large three-draw sander and travel upstairs by means of an electric lift. The boards are then sawn off in lengths, and the rip saw machine cuts them down to the required widths, when they are passed on to the boring machine. It is now the cabinetmaker's turn and he assembles the boards into sideboards, suites, duchess chests, wardrobes, and almost everything made in wood for furnishing from the cottage to the mansion. The polishers complete the job and the finished article returns by means of the electric lift to the showroom. Here anyone can purchase direct, thus saving the profit. -Messrs. Taylor and Co. deal direct with the public, so that when buying furniture it will pay householders well to call and inspect their up-to-date stocks. The firm are deserving ,of great credit fcr establishing a secondary industry in Palmerston North and it is hoped this will be the forerunner of many other industries.

(Published by Arrangement.) N. R. CUNNINGHAM AND CO. Masterton. Radio Display. Messrs. N. R. Cunningham and Co., licensed radio dealers, of Masterton, have a display of radio goods at the Show which is causing a great amount of interest. The principal exhibits are the Hanscom single-control receiving sets, the Hanscom set-tester, the Hawley alkaline battery, and FOrrno accesories, for which this firm holds the New Zealand agencies. By turning a single dial, not the usual three, the Hanscom receiver will bring in all Australian stations at full loudspeaker volume, using only an indoor loop aerial about IS inches square. A loop aerial, by reason of its directional characteristics, is probably the only satisfactory means of reducing statics and local disturbances. All batteries are enclosed with set in a console cabinet. The Hanscom settester is an ingenious device enabling the set builder to try out iiis set at any time without waiting for a broadcasting station. The Hawley rechargable alkaline battery is the cheapest and most satisfactory moans of avoiding the expense of renewing a dry B battery. Its nickel steel elements arc practically everlasting, and a 100 volt battery costs only ii 10s. It may bo supplied knocked down at a considerable reduction. On your visit to the Show, do not fail to see this excellent display. The firm invites communication from dealers interested in securing the local agency.

ECLIPSE FENCE CO. AX IMPORTANT SECONDARY ixßiiS'my. That Palmerston North is an ideal centre tor secondary industries—particularly those which are connected with the primary industries—is demonstrated by the rapid growth o£ the business of the Eclipse Fencing Co. Established a little more than a year ago, it has expanded so rapidly that new and larger premises arc now being sought, and for practically the whole of this year a full staff has been working overtime to till orders. One of the most impressive open-air exhibits at the Show is the Eclipse Company’s stand, demonstrating as it does, that wire can be adapted to almost any need of man. Besides the well-known sheep and pig nettings, and the extensive varieties of gates, there arc on view chain-mesh netting for river protection works—a. line in great demand just now’ —a clever little “while the billy boils’’ outfit for campers, which is sure soon to be found in every motor-car; a now type of rubbish basket, some artistically designed, fire screens in copper wire, a nice range of garden arches, and a host of other lines. The all-metal fence, combluing rapidity of erection and durability is a sure seller where the busy farmer is concerned. A recent addition to the Eclipse staff is a hand wire expert, who is a real artist at twisting wire to almost any shape and use. and some of his -work will bo a revelation to the uninitiated. An important exhibit is that of a series of metal screens for grading metal for roads, and the company has had a busy time supplying the requirements of the Highways Board and County Councils. The advantage of being able to execute orders in so central a place as Palmerston North must bo obvious to all especially as it obviates delay and cuts down freights to a minimum.

CARSON & CO,

Cordial Manufacturers', Grey Street. Year in, year out this old-established firm continues to manufacture all that is pure and wholesome in the cordial line. The quality never deteriorates, but if anything has the tendency to improve, for the firm is always alive to the fact that they must keep abreast of the demands of the present day requirements. With the ipj roach oi hotter days people instinctively think of cordials and Carson’s. They want cool and refreshing drinks made with pure artesian water, and this is when Carson & Co. prove that they are specialists in this business. Catering for picnics, parties, weddings and all social functions is carried out by this firm with the usual eare for which they are renowned. The installation of the most .up-to-date machinery eliminates all chances of guess work in their delicious beverages, and a more hygienic factory would be hard to find in New Zealand. "Cjjeanliness and quality” are their watchwords, and it doesn’t take, two bottles to prove that this is true. When buying cordials look for the name on the. bottle.

i [Published by Arrangement] AT THE SHOW. THE CHRYSLER IMPERIAL “ 80.” “AS FIXE A CAU AS MONEY CAN IJUILD.” Walter P. Chrysler has built another car—the Chrysler imperial "SO.” Ton'll see it at the Show, exhibited by the local agents, Messrs. Justice and Edmunds. With the now Imperial “SO" has come extraordinary smoothness of operation, quietness and long life, assured by a new crankshaft uniquely balanced: the unusual effectiveness of lubrication and a now type piston combining for the first time the advantages of both aluminium and cast iron. Other Features.

Among the features most appreciated by car owners will be found a specially designed carburettor of unusual simplicity, which can be electrically heated, and air cleaner, gasoline filter and oil filter. Another very interesting innovation embodied in the Chrysler Imperial "80” is the novel and effective way in which rubber is used to eliminate vibration and metallic noises .thus ensuring long and, 'quiet life. Appointments De Luxe.

Imagine this superb car on view at the Show. Never before have you seen such luxurious and utilitarian appointments. There is a cigar lighter, electric clock, bright white rear light for use when backing, and when the seif starter is pressed a light shows on the dash panel indicating how much water is in the battery. You have an electrical benzine guage, two exhaust pipes, one direct from the engine, and one through a silencer, operated at will by a small button. The seals are arranged so that the back goes up and down with the cushion, thus avoiding worn and shiny places on the upholstery and your clothes. The dickey seat is operated from inside the ear by the simple method of pressing a button, whereupon it springs open and is instantly ready for your passenger, arm rests and all complete. Mechanical Features. The chassis lubrication has been overcome for the springs are now enclosed in a solid block of live rubber. The front king pin bearings are lubricated with a reservoir of oil which has a capacity for 8 months’ use without filling. Like all Chrysler models, the engine is suspended on rubber. This Is a Chrysler Innovation and is fitted to all models. Visitors to the Show are rvolcomed to our exhibit to view this wonderful car, where six other models of Chrysler cars arc on exhibition. The local Agents. Messrs. Justice artd Edmunds will be pleased to talk Chrysler products over with you.

K. V. MASON & CO. Wood and Coal Merchants, 1-9 Main St., Pcdmerston North. Each year this wide-awake firm have something very interesting to tell you. This year they announce the installation of an up-to-date bowser from which Shell Motor Spirit will be dispensed to passing motorists at current prices. Oils can also so obtained ■with the minimum of lost time, for quick, efficient service ia our objective. Another department, and one which is perhaps more widely known to local residents, is our wood and coal service. Only sound wood and the best burning coals are stocked. Orders are delivered to all parts of the borough per motor lorry straight from our yards to your w'ood or coal bin. R. V. Mason & Co., you will remember, are the people who first inaugurated that novel way of advertising by giving away that handy little fire shovel that vou have heard so much about: and if you did not receive one, let’s hear from you, and you will certainly have one with your next order, At this stage it will be fitting to announce that we will be closing for two half days for the Show—-Wednes-day and Thursday afternoon —for if the Show is to be a success, and bo ol educational value to local residents, then it is only right that as many employees as possible should be given the' opportunity of attending. Messrs. R. Y. Mason & Co. are still located at 129 Main Street, opposite Railway, and although they are closed for two half days, provision has been made for the dispensing of Motor Spirit and Oils to motorists. Local residents In need of wood or coal supplies will bo helping considerably if they could place their orders as early as possible, thus saving any chance of being disappointed in what will undoubtedly bo a very busy week.
