An Old Champion

TF, when you patronize the railway bookstall oi Dunedin's super-

station, your wants are quickly and courteously attended to by a man with a genial twinkle in his eyes, depend upon it that jou have met Norman' Nickels, who- I—jear1 — jear in, year out — provides the type it reading matter which makes the longest railway journey seem less tedious.

Nickels is particularly suited to the business he •■ so successfully runs. Himself an authority on books and their authors, he knows just what type of books appeal to the travelling public — and his judgment is never at fault. In his youti, a champion road racer, Nickels is cne of the most active patrons in Dunedin of this manly sport. His experience and advice Have helped more than one young runner to be the first tD breast the tape. Nickels his applied the rules of sport to business. For so many hours every day 'he runs his appointed course, giving of his best in service and attention, no matter whether his customer is some wealthy tourist buying a pound's worth of books or a small boy -spending one of his hoarded coppers on a comic paper.

He considers his easy-chair the tape and he arrives there at night with a great content — for he has done his best. No man can do more.
