Exhibitors at the forthcoming Show should remember that the benefits from their display will be but transient unless the wider publicity obtainable from newspaper advertising is taken advantage of. By photographing the exhibit, and icprcduciiiK in "The Dominion," or haying same fully described by a reporter, rot onlv will those .who attend the show be reminded of what they saw during their visit, but others who were unable 4o be present wili bo reached, and business prob. ably result. Special arrangements have been made bo meet advertisers' wants in this respect. A representative will be m attendance at the paper stall just inside the entrance gates, where "The Dominion" will be on sale, or messages 6ent to 22 Princess Street, Palmersfcon, will receive prompt attention—Advt. Thoroughness invariably results in a structure which will stand sound and strong for all time. Having built our foundations of the business, solid as a rock, nothing can shako them. Suppliers of various produce continue to come to us, and we give everything our best and most careful attention. We sell direct to stores and consumers, saving the middleman's 10 per cent, profit, and we can therefore afford to distribute, at any rate, an extra 5 per cent, over and above others to our suppliers. That is the reason wa have such large support. Send as your milk, butter, eggs, or cream. Wanganui Fresh Food Coy.—Advt. Dairy Factory Managers should get particulars of the celebrated Victor Chetse Vat. Everyone that hae used a "Victor" says they are the beat made. Albert J. Perton, Dairy Specialist, Carterton.
