PURE, COOL MILK.

AMBURx*S, LTD.. COMPLETE FORTY years.

A CHAT WITH MR. CHAPMAN.

A pure milk supply is necessary to the health of any community, and this difficult problem has been solved as far as Auckland is concerned by the enterprising firm of Ambury's, Ltd. It is just 40 years ago since Mr. Ambury was himself the "full staff." He has seen his buiiness grow and" prosper during the intervening years, until now it is one of the largest, if not the largest, milk concerns in the Dominion, employing 120 hands, with a head office, a central depot, and 10 branches in the city and suburbs. The milk is brought into the central depot in Hopetoun Street, known as the Pasteurising Milk Depot, by special motor-lorries, which call for the raiik twice a Cay. From the central depot after pasteurisation the milk is distributed to the branJT.es, and the branches supervise the distribution to the customers. Chatting over the busines with a representative of the Herald, Mr. T. JL Chapman, one of the directors of the company, remarked that the company had inaugurated the Bystem of pasteurisation some 20 years ago, the system having been introduced by Professor Pasteur, of the Pasteur Institute, Pans. It consisted of heating the milk to a temperature of 145 degrees, and holding it there /or 15 minute*, and then cooling it by means of refrigeration to 38 or W degrees. The cream underwent the same process. " From a commercial point of view," said Mr. Chapmnn, " it is the only way to deal with /milk, because it destroyed by actual test 90 per cent, of the bacteria in the milk as originally delivered to the depot, and therefore when the milk is delivered » few hours later to the consumer it is a purer and better food than before it went through the process. . " Our aim from tho commencement has been to supply a milk which is absolutely pure as far as the system will allow, and the many thousands of satisfied patrons bear testimony to the fact that we have so far succeeded public requirements in this regard. A here are some things we guarantee absolutely. One is that the mdk is supplied to the consumer without anything being taken from it or anything being added to it. " The farms from which we 1 get our supplies are the best in the Auckland district, and our own personal supervision in this connection is an important factor in maintaining a satisfactory milk '• I wish to impress this fact upon the public," said Mr. Chapman in conclusion. " There piay be room for controversy over some aspects of the milk question. Wo may not nave the ideal in operation everywhere, but for safety, purity, and general reliability there is no better >nilk than ours, and every consumer can feel safe and satisfied that when using Ambury's milk they are doing the best in the interests of themselves and their children.''

A SARTORIAL SUCCESS. MR. T. W. HUTTON'S NEW PREMISES. 'THIRTEEN YEARS' REPUTATION. It is always an epoch-marking event in the history of any business when the proprietor moves from leasehold into freehold premises. Such a charigo of addross has recently been made by Mr. T. W. Hutton (trading as Hutton and bo.), who, for over thirteen years, has conducted with every success his tailoring business in this city. It. was in Wellesley Streejt that ho first began operations, building up a steady and increasing trade. Now, however, the time has arrived for the business to be transferred to new premise*, and in future 18. Lower Vincent Street will be the registered address of Mr Hutton's activities. It is less than a minute's walk from the old premises, so those whb, with every satisfaction to themselves, have looked upon him as their sartorial guide, need have no difficulty in locating nia new factory. " Factory," technically Bpeaking, is the right description of the freehold building in which in future the Hutton suits and costumes will be made, but as Mr. Hutton is essentially a retail tailor, it is as well, perhaps, to fioint out that he affords to present and uturo clients all the usual facilities that one looks for in the ordinary tailor'B shop. A remarkable story of successful effort in the tailoring industry stands to the credit of Mr. Hutton, whose books disclose the fact that, since, April, 1909, when he first began business as a mastertailor, he has supplied over 27,000 orders. The bulk of these were either for suite of clothes for men or complete costumes for ladies. As a matter of fact, the orders from ladies slightly out-number those for men, and a very considerable proportion of the work has been in connection with the making up of customers' own material. This phase, of his business has been one in which Mr. Hutton has specialised, and in which he will continue to speoialise in the future. That, .however, is not to suggest that his own range of cloths is in any way less comprehensive, than that of any other tailor, for, speaking broadly, it may be said that he can show 4a wide a choice of patterns, or of cloth in the roll, as one might expect to see in a West End tailor's shop in London. Dominion woven tweeds, English worsteds, and the highest grade indigo serges are all available, and Mr. Hutton personally supervises all garments, from the measuring of the customer to the final fitting. Nothing succeeds like success—and equally true is it that the most abiding success in business is that which, solidly and perhaps slowly, has been built up upon a reputation for excellence of output. Mr. Hutton has on his books the names of many men, and of many ladies, too, who have come to him regularly for their respecive suits and costumes from those early days when first he entered business for himself. Scattered now, as many of them are, throughout the Dominion, yet regularly they send in their orders, or, when visiting Auckland, come "to his premises. And it is for the advising of these distant customers that he particularly desires to make kpown b» A«S business addjreas* i *
