AHIER’S. “The House of Good Value” is known far and wide throughout Te Awamutu district, for Ahier’s was established in the earliest days of this town, and by consistent attention to requirements of the steadily-develop-ing district Ahier’s developed with the district. Nowadays it is one of the best-appointed business houses in the whole Waikato, and that it is efficiently managed and staffed is abundantly evident. No old stock remains on the shelves, and they are now laden with up-to-date articles in household furnishings!, apparel, and novelties. The Christmas season is invariably a busy time at Ahier’s but it is a watchword of the house that courtesy, civility and service wins friends —hence the regular customer is retained, and the newcomers soon join the legion of satisfied customers. For this Christmas season each department is especially well-stocked, and a few of the hundreds of articles attractively maced and displayed are enumerated on page 15 of this issue. The management points out that it was quite impracticable to more than quote a few of the lines. Sound advice is: Call in and see for yourself. The goods literally sell themselves, so attractively are they priced. Gift goods at prices that cannot be beaten, especially when quality is considered, are featured in all departments, and there is such a range that an acceptable choice can be made for mother, father, sister, brother, the boy and girl friend, and even for grandpa and grandma. THE MOMONA. For daintily served meals at all hours, Mulorew’s well-known tea rooms “The Momona” enjoy wide popularity, and need little comment.

Motorists and visitors would be well advised to take advantage of the reasonable rates and enjoy a dainty afternoon tea with cakes and “cookies” just like mother used to make. JACK HANNA.

The firm has also a fine line of hams, in all sizes, and don’t forget their small goods. Dominion sausage and tomato sausage will be useful delicacies during the holiday period. REGENT LOUNGE. During the hot summer weather and especially the holiday season, what can be nicer than to meet your friends at afternoon tea. or to partake a cooling drink or a tempting’ ice cream at the Regent Lounge.

The community especially will find the Regent a delightful rendezvous. W. DOUGLES. Mr W. Douglas, foot-wear specialist, always sets himself out to provide the widest selection possible and again this festive season he has gathered round him a splendid range of footwear that will offset any argument I that one has to go out of the district for stylish and quality boots and shoes. Mr Douglas caters for everybody—the little, tiny sandals for the toddler, the child’s shoe, the boys’ and girls’ school boot, the maid’s shoe, the man’s boot or shoe, the ladies’ latest novelty., and as we said before everybody. H. C. RAINEY. “Ring out the old, ring’ in the new,” but the bells this Christmas will surely bring joy to the happy throng of shoppers who will patronise H. C. Rainey. Here all will be in festive garb. Bargains offering in spite of the season will be eagerly sought after and where the crowd is, more will follow. It’s only human nature, so we advise “get in early.” What is the reason for this firm’s amazing success, it may well be asked. Here is the secret, consistent and honest dealing- with the general public. This has been the policy of the firm throughout the years of its existence —a policy which has enabled it to maintain an even course unhampered by fluctuations in prices, which are brought about at times by changes m the market. This season Ramey’s have greater surprises in store for their patrons than ever, so the advice to be early should not go unheeded.
