".The supremo masterpiece in motor cycle construction " is a' sign on this stand which cannot fail to attract attention and coinrnaid the assent of all who inspect the exhibit. The exhibits include the 1918 eleo trie Harley Davidson and the 1918 8.5.A.. which, it will be noticed, are replete wif't; 'all/ ■' modern improvements. The sidecar shpwn is undoubtedly the finest example effthe coachbuilder's art ever seen in Dunvdm. Red Bird bicycles are also shown, ■wliich, however, hardly need introduction to.the Dunedin public, as old Red Birds are doing useful service to-day after ?0 years of hard work on Dunedin roads. j; COOK, HOWLISON, & CO. 5 MOTOR CYCLES. 6rm, owing to the scarcity of Buick cajfe, is this year making a display only of i;their well-known lines in motor * cycles. Oqbupying prominent positions are their PoVerplus motor cycles, equipped with elettric light and without electric lights, and ■with and without sidecar* attached- The well-known Humber 3j horse-power, fitted •with Sturmer-Arnher gear, is also to the forp, and attracting great attention.

Tho owners are two well-known farmers arid one- of our leading medicos. £ v LAIDLAW AND GRAY. Messrs Laidlay and Gray, Ltd., have an Exhibit which should prove of considerable infferest to visitors at the show. This consists of several of their agency lines, in clußing Maisone washable water paint, red oxide roof paint, and Berger's oil paint. Their principal exhibits, however, are the Nulito petrol gas for cooking and lighting, end the Free sewing machine. The Nulite petrol gas lighting and cooking system is the latest design of hollow ■wijje installation which can be lighted with eni , ordinary match and has an automatic cleaning needle. Owing to tho shipping difficulty these plants were completely sold out, but advice has now been received stating that large shipments are at hand and orders can be booked for early delivery. Thbso desiring a new and up-to-date light for: their home, for church, for shop, or fori hall should not miss seeing this light. The Free sewing machine; also on exhibittdii by Laidlaw and Gray, is tho result of many years' study by the inventor, Mr W. O. Free. The result is that the Free machines (named after tho inventor) combine ;all the good points and eliminate the disadvantages of other machines on the market. .The special feature is the universal joint action in the shuttle arm, which makes tntf'-maehtne the most, silent and also the lightest running machine on tho market: Messrs Laidlaw and Gray are the sole •gents for the Free sewing machine, as well, as the Nulite petrol gas lightins system. Experts are in attendance to demonstrate these two lines. „ NEWBERY, WALKER, LTD.

The firm is in possession of testimonials from local users. Demonstrations will be given daily, and are sure to prove of interest to tho farming communitv.
