A PROGRESSIVE MANAWATU FIRM.

MESSRS. JOPLIN, STALLARD AND CARMICHAEL, LTD., LEVIN. Recognising Levin to be one of the most progressive and prosperous farming districts in New Zealand, the firm of Joplin, Stallard and Carmichael was established in that town some months back, and so phenomenal has been the success of their many,business transactions that they are to-day recognised as one of the most progressive and energetic auctioneering and importing firms plying their calling between Palmerston North and Wellington!. The three principals, Messrs. C. H. G. Joplin, F. J. W. Stallard, and L. S. Carmichael, have all had wide experience in this particular line of business, and the firm have established a big reputation as a result of the thorough manner in which they carry out all their transactions. Messrs. Joplin, Stallard and Carmichael, Limited, have a commodious auction room, which is invariably crowded with buyers from all parts of the district when sales are in progress. Just at present furniture and farm produce are bringing exceptional prices in Levin, and the farming and general public are urged to extend their patronage to this enterprising firm. Farmers in the district will be glad to know that Joplin, Stallard and Carmichael have been appointed agents for Andersons, Ltd., of Christchurch, and will thus handle the various machines and farming implements of this firm. They are also distributors for Fletcher’s milking machines and Vega separators. A big stock is carried of Pioneer white lead and belting, lubricating and linseed oils, together with the thousand and one requirements of the farming and trading community. The firm are agents for the Saxon and Calthorpe motor cars, also the Big X motor cycle, while big stocks of tyres .and covers for all makes of cars,; motor cycles and cycles, oils, and all accessories can always be readily obtained. Messrs. Joplin, Stallard and Carmichael, Limited, deal largely in land, and just at present they have some splendid farming propositions to offer those desirous of going in for dairying. The properties that they have for sale embrace some of the very best dairying land in New Zealand, quite a number of them being eminently adapted for returned soldiers. In this connection it may be mentioned that in all transactions with soldiers, only half the usual commission is charged, which proves that they have the interest of the returned man very much at heart. Messrs. Joplin, Stallard and Carmichael, Limited, will at all times be glad to answer any enquires, while clients can rest assured that any business entrusted to them will be faithfully carried out, and all communications addressed to them with regard to the fertile district of Levin will always have their best attention, while a ring on ’Phone 76, Levin, will ensure an immediate answer.
