F. Howell and Co., PIANO MANUFACTURERS AND IMPORTERS. TO THE RESIDENTS OF INVERCARGILL AND SURROUNDING DISTRICTS. We beg to notify that we have opened premises in lay street for the sale of PIANOS, ORGANS, VIOLINS, VIOLIN STRINGS ETC. Also to call attention to the fact that one of the chie features will be the PIANO REPAIRING DEPARTMENT which will be under the control of a thoroughly com petent man, specially trained to this important branch of the pianoforte business. No matter how small the defect in your piano we will be glad to give estimates free of charge and will guarantee satisfaction with all work entrusted to us. Our experience tells us that bad and defective touch in pianos is a great source of discouragement to students, and reflection is often cast upon teachers when the fault really lies in the state of the touch of the piano itself, through certain parts being worn down, or, in the case of newer instruments, dampness. All communications will receive prompt attention F. HOWELL AND CO. TA If STREET, INVERCARGILL, and OCTAGON I. ANDREWSTREET, UNEDIN LADIES, Bead, Learn, and use itFROM THE PRESS. LADIES, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE. Extract from Southland Times, 18th June, 1896:— “ Mr McKenzie, the Manufacturer of SAFE CLOTH CLEANER, has introduced his preparation to our notice and given us a sample of its extraordinary I cleansing power. The general public are not aware probably that on all Printing Machines a Blanket has to be used, a make up of a special kind, heavy and thick, felted together like a bull’s hide; it gets I saturated and battened with ink, and of all compounds i printers’ ink is one of the most difficult to remove. Caustic Potash and water will clean type, but the blanket is a more difficult job. Mr McKenzie used a small quantity of his “SAFE CLOTH CLEANER ” diluted with boiling water, on one of our blankets, and our machinist reports that even without boiling, the Fluid brought out the ink, and left the blanket clean, soft, and fit for further use, without destroying ! the texture or fabric in anyway.” A small quantity of the Fluid—about an ounce—in I the hot water copper will greatly help Housewives, I as it is useful for all domestic purposes as a cleanser ! and reviver. i Ounce (eighth part of Is 3d bottle) in hot water 1 copper thoroughly washes Blankets, Household ! Linen, etc. : saves half soap, half time, and half labour; no soda or other cleansing substances required. Few drops only in boiling water cleans greasy, spotted, or stained apparel or hats. FROM THE CHURCH. Mr McKenzie’s “Safe Cloth Cleaner” has been used in our house for some years, and has been found highly efficacious in removing grease, staints, etc. I can highly recommend it. GEO. LINDSAY. St. Paul’s Manse, Invercargill. Similar testimonials : Archdeacon Govett, Taranaki; Very Revd. J. McNamara, Catholic Presbytery, Blenheim; Revd. Mr Paterson, Presbyterian Manse, Napier, etc., etc FROM THE TRADE. x Invercargill, 16th June, 1896. I have tried McKenzie’s “ Safe Cloth Cleaner” and can certify to its qualities as such. I may say it is superior to any cloth cleaner I have yet used. 1 ADAM THOMPSON, Cutter, T. and B. Invercargill, 15th June, 1896. We have tried your “ Safe Cloth Cleaner ” and can testify to its wonderful effect in quickly removing all appearance of grease from a very much soiled "arment. A few drops were sufficient to clean and •revive the cloth.—Price & Bullieid, John D. McGruer, W. Lewis, W. Scott Bedford, Tapper, and Menzies, Invercargill 16th June,'lB96. Sold by Grocers, Drapers, Ironmongers, and Chemists everywhere. The strongest, ihe safest, the cheapest Cleansing Fluid manufactured. One-third the usual quantity sufficient.
