OUT OF THE BOG. CAREX TO THE RESCUE. During the past whiter is is fairly safe to assume that motorists in this district have had to seek assiistan.ee on occasions when they have been bogged in the mud. With the invention of Carex, the car and animal rescuer, a boon has been conferred on mankind, and all wise motorists will make sure of carrying one of thqse appliances in thfe tool kit. The appliance is very simple and compact,, and comprises a length of wire rope attached to a drum, which is operated by a lever.’ One end of the rope is attached to a tree stump or anchor (supplied), while the other end is fixed to the vehicle or animal. The lever is then worked backward and forward and winds tne rope on the drum. Practical demonstrations will be* given during the show by Mr R. A. Hiese, of Ohangaiti, the inventor. CROSSLEY CARS. SPECIAL COLONIAL MODEL. It is interesting to note that at last the English car manufacturers are catering for the New Zealand trade and studying Colonial roads and weather conditions. Crossley Motors, Ltd., of Manchester, England, of gas engine fame, have opened a, sales depot in Wellington for their cars, and by stocking cars and spare parts to delivei direct to dealers are in a position to put the new overseas Crossley mqdel on the market here at the attractive price of £485 f.o.b. main ports. The calls are therefore delivered to the purchaser in New Zealand at the english price plus only freight and tax. Messrs L. V. Gorpe and Co., Barton Street, Hamilton, the Hudson-Essex dealers, have been fortunate in securing the selling rights for the Auckland district for Crossley cars, and will be pleased to those interested with al\ information. The Crossley five-seater model is oi*. exhibition at the Paeroa Show, and inspection is invited. The Crossley is one of England’s really high-class cars, and whilst claiming only thirty miles to the gallon of petrol under ordinary running condition, this car ,on test has done 36.2 miles to the gallon. LEATHER AND CANVAS. HIGH-CLASS SADDLERY.. There is probably no better-known business man throughout the goldfields and Thames Valley than. Mr C. H. Vincent, who has 7 , been in the saddlery and harness making trade in Paeroa for thirty-five years. Mr Vincent is showing at his premises, Belmont Road, a fine range of deek. chairs in various designs, camp stretchers, and utility canvas beds for the use of camping parties. A special feature is the newly-patented Roylette baby swing, which would make suitable Christmas present. The swing is so constructed that it is impossible for. a. child to fall out. Of special interest to farmers is the new one-piece greenhide forty-foot plough reiiiG with patent swivel clips. These reins will last a lifetime, and are meeting with a keen demand. By modern methods and. thorough workmanship Mr Vincent is now doing a big trade with motorists, and new hoods and backs of cars can be repaired or new ones fitted at shortest notice. A special display .’s being, made of _ new. stocks of solid leather suit cases, flbrecane hampers, saddles, bridles etc. Exhibitors at the local show will find that their requirements can be obtained from the pioneer saddlery establishment. FUN FOR ALL. A Side-show that is attracting more than ordinary interest at the Paeroa Show to-day is the exhibit of Mr W. J. Wood, of America, which ir situated on the left-hand side of the main en - trance to the domain. Attached to ix frame are three huge heads, renting Messrs Shean and Gal/agher, ’ and Sitffy, of Fuller circuit fame. In each figure the mouth is wide open, and the game is to knock the teeth but of the heads. It is a good test of skill, and surprisingly easy as it may seem, show patrons find it necessary to be a good shot to obtain one of the handsome prizes offered to the winners. Mr Wood had similar exhibits at the Auckland Winter Exhibition, and at the Auckland, Hamilton, and Te Aroha; Shows, and he states that the competition is gaining in popularity throughout New Zeakmd, Show patrons should not miss this exhibition. TRELOAR -MILKING MACHINES. An exhibit of special interest to farmers and visitors to the Paeroa Show is the simple, safe, and sanitary Treloar Milking Machine plant, in the charge of Mr A. L. Peters. The Treloar engine represents the yery latest in oil engine practice. It is unique in design, remarkably .accessible, and very economical, in running. The governor, an exclusive Treloar patent, is as novel as it is simple. It has no balls or springs, and can be adjusted while the engine is running. The great popularity of the Treloar teat cup is demonstrated by the fact that nearly forty thousand have been sold in New Zealand. The Treloar is the simplest of all pulsators, yet it lacks nothing that counts for efficiency or -reliable service. The releaser is of large capacity, and will cope with a heavy flow of milk without allowing spray to pass over to the vacuum pump. There is not a single automatic or complicated part in the whole releaser system. Al) moving parts are enclosed and run in an oil bath ; this not only , reduces wear to a minimum, but also - renders the pump very easy to drive.
