The Home of "Progress. '

Progress, it is evident from these illustrations, is well cared for during the hours of pi'oduction. The firm that prints it (Messrs. Whitoombe & Tombs Ltd.) does some of the best printing work in the Dominion, and is well housed everywhere, as may be ]udged by the fine building (of our illustration) which contributes a fair share to the architectural grace of the city of Wellington. PROGRESS, therefore, comes out every month under good auspices, and, moreover, in the best company, for the firm issues a great store of publications, well known and much read. The publishing work of the Dominion is as yet comparatively small, tor local talent must serve its apprenticeship in company

of the best that Great Britain has to offer. The small stream of local effort is here mingled with the great volume flowing in from the old country, braving comparison with courage, learning by example, and careful to follow the best traditions. In this well-organised home of the growing printing industry the local product gets the up-to-date treatment so necessary for its development along right lines. PEOGEESS therefore, goes the regular round of this fine establishment, with comfortable reliance on the skill of all hands, the per fection of the machinery and the punctuality which is one of the best tests of well-managed enterprise.
