The y livestock industry of our Dominion is . our greatest asset, and unless we can find a remunerative outlet for beef, wo cannot increase our exports of mutton and lamb. As is well known, a great deal of our country, particularly in the North Island, requires to be constantly \ grazed by cattle to make it suitable for fattening lambs and sheep. We must also remember that for health .and vigor / we must eat well-balanced meals, including a variety of kinds and cuts of meat suitable to the season, and which price variations show to be tbe most' economical. From a cost point of view, beef is the cheapest meat, on the market at present, for you get better value for your money, which should be noted by thrifty housewives. , To-morrow and Friday the public of Gisborne will have one* of those rare opportunities of inspecting a thoroughly representative display of the latest in English and American motor-cycles, bicycles and accessories.
