Mr Harold Jone*., "lio recently took over Mr Diaper's business, is now well stocked, and as his prices arc low and the quality of the articles good. Te Horo people should have no regrets at patronising him. The Te Hero Supply Stores have found it necessary to use additional rooms for the storage of goods, and judging by the quality of the articles kept residents of the district should have no room for complaint. Mr S. B, McDonald's prices are still as low as ever, and as he carries a large stock of the best of articles he is. naturally, kept busy. Mr McDonald claims to be able to sell much cheaper than most country stores.
