Messrs Andrews and Sons/ Venetian!/ blind manufacturers of Upper Willi&v street, who are now sor celebrated^ for the class of work which they;" manufacture invite inquiry, as to; prices arid quality. They have beenmanufacturers for the past eighteenyears and have done tdie w<srk for most of tine large buildings m the city. The quality of their work can? be ascertained I>y making enquiry, of any, -one of their numerous clients 1 ,. The i iliy.br" election at Eltham was a Rood ' "thing for some people, as about £200 changed . hands on the result. Some hysterical howlers are ever harping' on the suppression of betting, and fondly imagine that if, horse-racing, was abolished the betting evil would die.' : Next we'll hear' of the abolition of Mayoral elections. Mark Twain's Jim Smiley' isn't a circumstance to some of the : punters of New Zealand. . . i A dealer m optical goods wants to know why the public ; pay exhorbit- r . ant prices 1 for spectacles. "Qritic'* will enlighten him if he promises to; keep it a dead secret. It is because the optician middlemen, like other : trucksters and dealers,' snavei theoyster, leaving the producer and the customer to be satisfied with small; mercies. However, but for the wretched habit of bringing up our blueeyed girls to white veils, thus destroying • tfieir keenness- "of vision,! the greedy middlemen would nevers wax fat on selling spectacles and: pseudo eye preservers.! I That fraud of frauds, Tanqueray* the picture-swindler, is again invad-; : ing New Zealand with his offers of free portrait enlargements. Evidently the Parisian police have applied a pair of hob-nailed nineteens to his rearguard, as his communications are posted from Amsterdam* Holland*. Considering the amount of newspaper space devoted to the exposure of the swindle, and '■'Truth" alone has devoted pases all over Australasia; it is really surprising that people exist who are so easily pulled. But fools won't be protected, Acts of Parliament, notwithstanding. We have received a copy, of a. charming and attractive little toc-k---let for children entitled, .';A Day m. the Life of a child." It is beautifully printed and illustrated, m colors, and will without doubt afford great pleasure. to the. little ones. The publishers are Messrs Scott and Browne, Ltd., the proprietors of that world-famed preparation,- "Scott's Emulsion" (to which reference .is made m our advertising columns), and we are requested to mention that the booklet will be mailed. fiE« of cost to any mother desiring: a copy. Application should- be made m writing to the Australian Branch of Scott and Browne, Ltd., 483 Kent Street. Sydney.
