CHRISTMAS GIFTS
HOW TO CHOOSE THEM. The choosing of suitable Christmas gifts is much more difficult than usual this year, as owing to the war many articles that wire previously availablo are now altogether unobtainable. Young folk are in the fortunate position of having a wide range of inexpensive'articles, such as nicely-bound books or inexpensive jewellery to choose from, but the man who has been married a few years and wishes to make a nice present to his family finds the problem' ot choosing a troublesome one.
The ideal Christmas gift for a man to make to his wife and family is one that will add permanently to their comfort, and make home life brighter and more attractive. 1317 has been an exceptionally prosperous year in the Dominion, and thousands of man, particularly farmers, find themselves, perhaps for the first time in their lives, in the fortunato position of having a surplus in tho bank, and are determined to make some longpromised improvement to the home. During the past month more than 250 country homes in New Zealand havo been made brighter and cheerful by having "Wizard" Lighting Systems installed in them. Tho lighting problem is a serious ono in the country, and many otherwise beautiful homes lost their'charm owing to the use of smoky kerosone lamps or dim acteylene jets. A "Wizard" Lighting System makes an ideal Christmas gift, as it not only adds to the comfort of the family, supplying as it does a light better even than coal gas or electric light, but it is also a permanent, profitable investment, as the eaving in cost of running compared -with kerosene is so great that the plant pays for itself in a year or two. So great has been the demand for "Wizard" Lighting Systems during the pnst month that the agents havo had great difficulty in keqping up with their orders. Four years of increasing sales havo proved conclusively that the "Wizard" is the best houselighting plant on the market, and no other is jusfc as good "Wizard" Lamps light with an ordinary match, havo an automatic needle to keep tho jet clean, and.aro fly and mpth proof. The plant is guaranteed for five years, and cornpleto plants are sold for from .£ls upwards. Country people should drop a postenrd to Messrs. Early Bros., Ltd., 187 Featherston Street, Wellington, _ the New Zealand agents for "Wizard" Lighting Systems, who will bo pleased to supply all particulars, together irith a price, including the cost of fitting for a plant of any size.-(Piiblishe<l by Arrangement).
