On a platform extending from the handsome plate glass show windows fronting Willis street for a considerable distance back, there are a large assortment of the SPLENDID MACHINES in which Messrs Inglis Bros” deal. Contracts have been entered into with the Manufacturers of the Celebrated Coventry, Wolverhampton and ncs direct form the factories' wllAVfi fliorr oi-n inn Jn T Beestcn Humber Cycles for a supply of these Unrivalled Machines direct form the factories where they are made. Laro- e shipments come to hand periodically, and these are carefully fitted up and put in thorough going order before beino- sunnlied to tho public. In the season 1895-6 Messrs Inglis Bros, disposed of a large number of these well-known cycles, many leading citizens being numbered amono- the purchasers. Ihe Humber Cycle has achieved a world-wide reputation which, it is said, lias not been eclipsed by any other machine. G „, In Sydney Bulletin for 21st March, 1896, appears an article on “ Famous Cyclists and a Famous Cycle,” from which the following evtmofe. ova cuhedThe Prince of Wales, the Princess Maud of Wales, and other members of the Royal Family; the Empress of Gernmny the Grand Dul e Nicholas of Russia, and other members of the Russian Royalty; the Dukes of Portland, Sutherland, Abercorn and Athol and their respective duchesseq prominent among those who patronize the paragon of wheels. Truly the ‘ Humber Steed of Steel’ can be said to have no rivals The Vicerov of Tndin the Governor-General of Canada love their faithful Humber.” His Excellency Lord Hampden recently said to the Sydney Morning Herald and Daily TcharaZ interviewers: “ I ride the Humber because I think it is the best.” “The nnghty Zimmerman, America’s Speed King, came all the way from America to advertise and place on the Australian market his own particular brand ol cj’cle. He came with a great flourish of trumpets and a triplet £ to break Australian records.’ He came —he saw—he was conquered—by the Humber. Zimmerman was beaten by Parsons, Walker and Pither. Can it be said fW the machine played no part m these historic victories ? Compare the three riders—Parsons, rather short, compact, quiet, muscular • Walker 'tall and sinewy; Pither, long-legged and gaunt. When three such different types of men peddle home on the one brand of machine ahead of Zimmerman it is onlv logical to conclude that the excellence of the machine is largely responsible. This is certain, at any rate. Ho other machine except that of the Austral CvoZ Comnanv showed Zimmerman the wav home in Austral in nlftnnoL OTPVT7 r.Tml 1O P ll OVA VC 7IT 1/I 4- fk Z 1 '(* 1 "_ _ of perfection, besides wjiich those of its wonld-be rivals sink into insignificance, and while the Humber is the ££ racer of racers ” it is the £e roadster of road sters ’ and the “ pleasure cycle of pleasure cycles.” It may be remarked that the Austral Cycle Agency supplies only the Humber’Machines. Messrs INGLIS BROS/ Workshop fronts Victoria street, immediately behind the showroom. It is a substantial brick building w^ i , c ? ncie | i . e fr° or > containing about 2000 square feet ol floorage space. Plere there are two lathes—one large and one small one—a smith’s and other needful appliances for the manufacturing, fitting and repairing of these useful machines. There is also an enamelling stove—heated by gas—large enouuli to include several frames at once for the purpose of hardening and finishing tire machine with the beautiful enamel, for which they are welf known It mav be inteixsting to note that in a period not exceeding ten months Messrs Inglis Bros, passed 600 Machines through their liermirina Shon Five skilled hands are already employed by Messrs Inglis Bros, in connection with their growing business. 1 ’ 1 Messrs Thomas and Hugh Inglis are sons of Mr Thomas Inglis, of the well-known drapery house of Messrs A. and T.

Private executors, trustees, or agents or attorneys whose adminis ra ion or conduct should be at fault, may be without the means of repairing the errors for which they are accountable ; or may, in cases where their acts are -justifiable, make disastrous and ruinous investments. The J Public Trustee never dies, never leaves the country, and never becomes disqualified, or involved in private difficulties, or distrusted. i if? special 'powers Of the (Public Trustee in respect to intestate and trust estates —powers with which private trustees could not expect to be clothed, but w aich may be safely granted to an officer in the position of the Public Trustee —enable him to supply promptly and inexpensively what may be described as thee e ciencies oi omissions m the instruments of trust, and thus, so to speak, perfect an incomplete will or settlement : enable him to make, for instance, the maintenance ol infants, tor whose benefit an estate is to be administered under a will containing no directions for maintenance, such a liability of the estate as the testator must from the circumstances of the case be supposed to have intended. , e . w the law provides for the estates of deceased persons a choice of two administrations, one an administration by private trustees, necessarily restric e in J eir powers, and subject to all the contingencies of private management; the other an administration by the Public Trustee, in which he is autho11Se ICISe powers in the interest of the estates in which the integrity of the capital funds and liis own good faith is guaranteed by the colony. rV'lllS may oe deposited m the Office for safe custody.
