TRADE DISPLAYS.

FARMERS’ CO-OP. EXHIBIT. The Farmers’ Co-op. display will attract the eyes of farmers, as it is essentially a farmers’ display, each machine being an essential to successful farming. 'Fhe Wolseley shearing machine is shown in a marquee. A. three-stand plant with engine is seen running. latest No. 6 handpiece is working on the plant, and sheepfarmers will be interested in this latest improvement of the famous English manufacture by the Wolseley .Shearing Machine Company. The Co-op. are agents, and this year have installed a number of plants throug’hout Ta ra naki. A direct action windmill is shown, and this little mill, quoted at £l6, freight paid to nearest station, is an article that will fill a long-felt want —a strong, serviceable mill complete with tower at a very reasonable figure. The Co-op. also show a very comprehensive exhibit of International Harvester Company machines, for which they are agents. Two tractors—-the 10-20 International, complete with grips on the wheels ready for field work, and the 10-20 Industrial Tractor ready for road work and fitted with rubber tyres. These strong, durable machines are becoming a necessity to farmers and industrial users such as county councils, and many are to be seen throughoutTaranaki doing the work of two teams of horses. The new McCormick Big Six Mower, with all the latest improvements, together with the McCormick Steel Rake, are .shown, and every farmer knows the sterling value of these implements. The Combined Side Delivery Rake and Tedder and the Hay Loader and the Sweep Rake, are 'becoming increasingly popular in the hayfield, and their simple construction will appeal to all farmers. The Hay Loader especially is worthy of attention, as this machine fills a long-felt want in that it will do the work of three teams and a gang of men and that very much more efficiently. In ploughs we see the double and single furrow and 'hill-side, also reversible disc for riwamp or hillside work. An Empire Junior Drill and the Giant Cultivator complete the list, aud the latter when fitted with the special, lucerne point* fills the bill for ■cultivating this increasingly popular fodder crop. In front of the -shearing machine we see a number of fine fleeces shorn with the Wolseley machine and dipped with the famous Cooper’s Dip. The Co-op. are distributors for Cooper’s dip, and the ever-increasing sales prove the satisfaction this dip gives. Unquestionably Cooper’s dip is the finest safeguard the farmer can get. In motor cars is shown the acme of efficiency, a straig’ht eight and the justly famous four-cylinder Hupmobile. These, two cars with their beautiful finish and thorough mechanical job will attract the attention of all. Built for comfort, durability and economical running they must appeal to all lovers of cars. In' Engish manufacture is shown the Standard, a light car of excellent finish and worthily upholding the traditions of English manufacture. ARROL-JOHNSTON AND SINGER LIGHT CARS. MESSRS.
