The secret of successful creativo ability business "Master Strokes" are usually tho result of ' "Thoroughness." Since we started in business, to be thorough has been tho ideal for which we have constantly striven, and by thoroughness we do not refer merely to routine work. We regard it of the greatest importance to get the confidence of our hundreds of cream suppliers, to show them results alt tho time. We have done so, are doing so, and will always continue to give them a straight deal and something to spare. Rail your butter, milk, eggs, and cream to Wanganui Fresh Food Coy.—Advt.
