SHOES OF STYLE AND COLOUR

CREPE DE CHINE SHOES ARE THE LATEST FASHION In the constant change of feminine fashions and styles the shoo trade keeps well ahead —if shoes of a now colour are wanted they are there, or if shoes are wanted to fit in with a new style or effect they are ready. This is particularly true of shoes for special occasions such as weddir.g.s. ballrooms or for evening: wear. Just at present, Messrs. G. A. Coles and Co.. Ltd., the prominent Auckland shoe designers and manufacturers, are busy with sports and brogues for the approaching autumn and winter sea son. but they are also engaged in preparing the big variety of satin shoes that are needed for evening wear at this time of the year. Satin shoes are becoming increasingly popular and ar*> now available in lighter colours as well as black. Another example of the up-to-date-ness of the shoe trade is the introdution of the crepe-de-chine shoe, which is rapidly becoming popular with those ladies who are looking for “somethin - different.” With the light colours now available in crepe de chine or satin shoes, the shoes could be dyecl to match an> dress. The crepe de chine is specially manufactured for the shoe trade, and like the satin used, is a little heavier than the usual dress materials, but it tones in admirably with colour schemes.

BISCUITS FOR ALL TASTES

HUDSON’S “EMPIRE” ASSORTMENT It is never an easy matter to find a common standard that will please everyone, and more difficult still to make up a collection of mixed biscuits that will meet all tastes, yet that is just what Hudson’s have succeeded in doing with their famous “Empire* brand assortment of mixed biscuits. In one tin they have gathered together no less than 3 4 different kinds of biscuits —sweet and plain, fancy and chocolate —but so carefully has the selection been made, and so accurately has the public taste been judged that the mixture can be regarded as one of the best on the market. Certainly from the quality of the individual biscuits themselves can they, be regarded as of outstanding value, for every kind of biscuit turned out by the great Hudson factories in Dunedin has been thoroughly baked, and watched until it is “done to a turn.’' The result is a fresh, brittle biscuit, and one that is most enjoyably palatable.

The brittleness of the biscuits, in fact, is at once their strength and weakness. It indicates that they have been thoroughly baked, but at the same time it introduces the danger of breakage. To guard against this breakage every care is take both in packing and in transport.

Among the different kinds of biscuits included in Hudson’s “Empire” assortment there are dainty Opera Wafers, Princess, Shortcake, Gingernuts and Oat Wafers among the plain and sweet biscuits, and Chocolate Fingers and Chocolate Honey Drops in the chocolate division. In the class of sandwiches and creams there is a great variety, w'hich includes Nut Creams. Ascot Creams, Cream Sandwich, also Fig Bars, Date Bars and Raspberry Gems—in all a varied selection that would grace any table and tempt any palate.

WOOLLEN MILLS AND WAREHOUSES

THE “ROSLYN” ORGANISATION

It is peculiarly appropriate that X* w Zealand, a country famed throughout the world for the standard of its flocks, should also be noted for the high standard of its woollen mills — the manufacturing complement to the great primary industry. An English expert visiting New Zealand said of the Roslyn woollen mills:

“They are the best equipped of their kind in the Southern Hemisphere, and it is doubtful if any mills within the Empire do as great a variety of work, it being the rule at Home to specialise.”

The Roslyn Mill is the backbone of the vast organisation built up by Ross and Glendining, Ltd. throughout the length and breadth of New Zealand. From the mill the various materials go to nine warehouses and eight factories, which play no small part in tii* industrial life of the community. In Dunedin, for example, Ross and Glendining, Ltd. have a straw and felt hat factory, which supplies the various branches with the majority of their requirements in men’s, women s and children’s hats. In Auckland, also, there are fine examples of the progressive nature of the company’s manufacturing ideas in the large and well-equipped factories in Grey Avenue and Wellesley Street West. In war as in peace, Roslyn woollen goods have played their part in the life of the Dominion. During the war period from 193 4-1918, Ross and Glendining, Ltd. caused a good deal of inconvenience to their many customers throughout New' Zealand by giving preference to all requests for assistance from the Government, throwing all their manufacturing plant at the disposal of the War Purchasing Com - mittee.

PLEASANT AND REFRESHING

K.P.’’ LIFE SALT IS A NEW ZEALAND PRODUCT

•Bottles of Sparkling Life is a name which has been justly applied to that health-giving New Zealand product “K.P.” Life Salt.

This excellent preparation conveys to the system the cleansing and purif> - ing properties of citrus fruits. It serves many purposes. In hot, close weather, Life Salt cools the blood, refreshes the body, and assists in removing the sense of lassitude and nervous irritability or exhaustion so often ex ! perienced. It acts as a “pick-me-up and forms a most soothing and enjoy - able beverage.

“K.P.” Life Salt is pleasant and re- ; freshing in all w r eathers. It will be found exceedingly valuable in purifying i the blood and cooling the system, and j thus preventing those disagreeable eruptions and pimples so common to many at the change of the seasons. For the relief of headache and all bilious disorders it will be found very beneficial, acting as a mild aperient, and also on the liver and kidneys. An added attraction for New Zealanders is the fact that “K.P.” is pr~ pared in Dunedin at the la bora tori e« of Kempthorne Prosser and Co.’s New Drug Co., Ltd.
