The shooting season is now in full swing, and every sportsman in the community is thinking, and dreaming, of big bags. As a means to this end, nothing is more important than good ammunition, and it would be difficult indeed to procure any better sporting cartridges than those manufactured by the Colonial Ammunition Company. This company have kept fully abreast of the times in the matter of new and up-to-date plant and expert workmanship, and are turning out ammunition fully equal to the very best imported makes. Evidence of this is to be found in the fact that their military .303 and Martinis are now quite up to the standard of British Government ammunition. For fuller information regarding the various makes of cartridge we refer our readers to the company's advertisement, which appears elsewhere. For some time past the rumour has been afloat that the Standard Oil Company, of the United States, proposed to cut into the New Zealand trade, and do business direct instead of through the ordinary agencies. A positive contradiction is now given to this report. But a company has been formed in America called the Colonial Oil Company, which will control all the American kerosene coming to these colonies. Messrs. W. and G. Turnbull and Co. have been appointed the agents for this company for the Wellington district, and they will announce from time to time the price at which kerosene will be sold.
