The local industries of Ashburton are growing apace. A visit to the principal workshops in this town will convince any of our readers that there is still a splendid future before usif we only patronise those of our enterprising townsmen who are determined to do a legitimate business with small profits. In Burnett street the workshops of Messrs Meech and Co. present a busy appearance, and having improved machinery are able to turn out an excellent display of household furnishings equal to any in Canterbury. We anticipate a great demand and a satisfactory profit for the manufacturers in return. In Kast street Messrs M. and Co. have also opened a show room, where is to be seen some very fine furniture suitabl - to all classes, and we believe at prices that must command a ready sale. Our advice is—inspect Meech and Co.’s stock for house furnishings. Holloway’s Pills.— Health or Wealth.— No sane person would hesitate an instant in the choice between these two conditions. Now is the season to secure the former either by restoring or confirming it. These Pills expel all impurities from the system which fogs foul vapours, and variable temperatures engender during winter ; this medicine also arts most wholesomely upon the skin by disgorging the liver of its accumulated bile, pud by ex. citing the kidneys to more cnerguic action; increases the appetite for food and strengthens the digestive process. The stomach and liver, which most disorders originate, are fully under the control of these regenerative Pills, which act very kindly yet most efficiently on the tenderest bowels.—■'[Advt.] Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, etc., are quickly cured by using Baxter’s ‘ - Lung Preserver. ’ This old-established meJicine is pleasant to the palate, and highly extolled by members of the medical and clerical profession.
