(Extract from the Bulletin, Sydney, May sth, 1900.) "■ fBTHE Sydney Royal Show was a passing good show in its way, though it might have been . JL better. Had the thermometer registered 180deg under a hat, or the mercury cracked the tube witri the quintessence of cold, then things would have hummed. As it was, it was an ordinary kind of show withotit special feature to impress it on the /tablets of the brain in contradistinction to the hundreds of other similar exhibitions that have been held ever since Fred Webster took the helm, and before. Perhaps the public would ra,ther not have been, t frizzled up like hash-house bacon or frozen down like refrigerated mutton,- but had either of these contingencies ocurred they would have found that shelter awaited, them in the P. and B. Ruberoid house. There they could have preserved their equanimity while others outside suffered all the pangs of extremes of heat or cold, according as the fates or inclement Wragge had decreed. It is a strong point atbout 4 .his Ruberoid that it acts as a kind 'of insulating material, which, through its being a bad conductor of heat, is equally impervious to the most penetrating rays of an out-back-sun or the hoariest of hoar frosts. A timber and galvanised iron crib is -therefore not alongside it for comfort. Nor does it nearly approach it for artistic appearance. This, however, is a, mere detail that doesn't count much where draughts prevail. The whole Alpha and the Omega, and the Beta and the Theta, of the matter lies in the query— ls it cheaper? When the local bank manager holds the whip, that is what he will ask. When the mother of six wants a new, bonnet, that is what she will ask. And he man that provides for them all naturally asks the same qtiestion. The reply is that by erecting a P. and B. Ruberoid crib instead of one of the galvanised iron variety you save stuff all the time; you save in the initial cost; you l save in construction, eventually saving your breath on oaths ; so what more do you want ?, A member of the Bulletin staff, who hasn't got a profound craving for dossing in the open, . is thinking of petitioning the member for the Domain to log-roll a few Ruberoid cribs into;' his camping-ground.
