A.&P. SHOW

TRADE DISPLAYS. / S.C. POWER BOARD. A COMPREHENSIVE DISPLAY. All the evidence of keen business and careful management were to be seen in the Power Board display, securing as they have the best agencies in everything electrical, and showing them in a capable, businesslike way. An artistic piece of furniture is the "Kelvinator” commercial cabinet for refrigerating and for the storage of all perishable foods; very handy for the man in the town and essential for the family on the land. Meat and all perishable goods can be kept for days and will remain entirely fresh. It is automatically worked, there being no trouble in regulating any part of it, and it consumes the minimum of electricity. The cabinet, which is built in New Zealand, wil be made to suit any purpose. During the summer the business man in town who sells perishable food and wants to give first-class service, can do this with the Kelvinator Commercial Cabinet. The new Spartan Equasonne radio receiver on display next catches the eye. The manufacturers claim that this machine humanises the voice over the air, the range of the machine being widened to capture both the fundamentals and the elusive overtones which are the essence. of worth-while music, both vocal and instrumental as well as the depth and charm of a speaker's voice. With this broadened range, the Spartan gives full play to the individuality of the entertainer. It gives genuine reception of personality, with all the warmth and colour that the term can mean. Here is an instrument certainly worth investigation, and the management of the S.C. Power Board will welcome inquiry, and give full demonstration. A feature of the set is that no aerial is required. A wide range of various makes of electric cookers is nicely arranged, including the new Moffatt, an up-to-date 2-element production costing only £l7/10/-; the Canadian hotpoint range with high-speed calrod element; the all-British “Falcon” range (the first to be imported), with its left-hand high waist line oven, its removable oven elements (very handy for cleaning purposes), and its freeness from springs, meaning no cost of renewals. The “McClary” high-speed element range, with its removable oven elements, is a really wonderful choice of electrical cooking ranges. The General Electric Refrigerator is next in line. There are no exposed moving parts, no heating elements, and it can be made portable if required. The whole of the working parts is contained in the cylinder, oiled and sealed in the factory where made, making it absolutely fool-proof, and a handy, neat, serviceable refrigerator for any home. The tables have on display an unending range of serviceable and essential electrical household appliances. There is an electric kettle, capable of boiling a pint a minute; and a new English heater, with no troublesome wire elements, capable of radiating a beam of heat 18 feet. Price’s jack pump will lift 60 gallons an hour more than 25ft high, and cost only £l2/10/-. Price s Renown pump will lift 360 gallons an hour 50ft high, is double acting and costs £lB/10/-. The Premier duplex cleaner, costing only £l2/12/-, will do work second to none. The Dominion electrical grill stove, manufactured in New Zealand, suitable for a small household, will take plug for iron purposes and costs just £4/5/-. The Daly grill heater, which can serve the purpose of grilling and toasting by simply turning up on end, is an ideal little heater. The Mercer vacuum electric hot water cylinder, a perfectly lagged cylinder, has a tremendous sale on account of its high efficiency. No farmer should miss seeing this display, and if he were inclined to, his wife, should make sure he does not do so. Here are electrical appliances to cut the work of dairying, milking and housekeeping in half, making it twice as congenial, and at a price well within the reach of all. J. STORRIER AND CO. HUSTLER CULTIVATORS. One outstanding feature of this firm’s exhibit of Hustler Cultivators is that they are built in Timaru. This in itself is sufficient reason why they should be popular on the show ground as in the field. Specialisation is written all over the Hustler, and no expense in time or labour has been spared to bring this implement to the degree of perfection vhich has been attained. Being locally made, the manufacturer and the farmer can get together in the field and understand each other’s requirements with pleasure and profit to all concerned. In price they compare very favourably with anything from within or without the Dominion or province. The models shown are Number IT, Dual Standard; No. 11., Dreadnought; No. 17, Heavy; also the new massive model No. 19., nineteen tine, here shown for the first time. This model has been made to meet the demand for a yet bigger Hustler than the No. 17, and it has proved very suitable for the light land on the plains. The points and steels are made in Sheffield, and here again specialisation results in the best article procurable both for quality of material and the right point far the desired work, whether it be actually the work of a heavy harrow to loosen the ground, or move the entire surface as in broad sharing. This firm also has on exhibition a tractor gorse-cutter, built to the design of Mr A. B. Shipley, under whost charge a public demonstration given recently proved very satisfactory.

“VIKING” HAY RAKE AND MOWER. With the Viking Hay Rake it is possible to collect great quantities of hay in the rake basket between each dumping; and to rake equally clean, irrespective of whether the rake basket is empty or nearly filled with hay. The teeth, provided with coils and flat ends to prevent scratching are made of oil tempered steel. The shape and position of the rake teeth are such that they adapt themselves to all sorts of ground wiht he greatest of The Viking mower is \ery popula 1 ir* the North Island, ard it can be seen by the ever-increasing numbei being sold in the South Island that it is gaining popularity here also.
