You cannot keep it as it should be kept if you use pastes, because they don’t clean the linoleum, but polish in the dirt. Tan-ol (which is a cream put up in bottles) is used in thousands of homes, because it is really the best article for linoleum, as ii not only polishes, but cleans and preserves it. Have you tried it ? Sold in bottles everywhere. —Advt.

Mr Pavitt, or Frank, as he is more familiarly known, has, with the exception of several years spent in Borneo, resided in Te Aroha for over 25 years, during which time he has been a member of the various cricket, football, volunteer and other associations. While regretting Mr Pavitt’s departure, we feel sure he will find more scope for his abilities. We wish him every success. The other day we noticed an exceptionally nice buggy outside Mr D. McL. Wallace’s factory. The vehicle in question was much admired by those who saw it, and, as one of Auckland’s leading business men on a visit to Te Aroha was heard to remark, would hold its own for style and finish with any turned out in the city factories. The vehicle was made to the order of Mi- P. Hogan, and will prove a worthy additiou to his already up-to-date stock of vehicles. We congratulate Mi- Wallace and his staff on their excellent workmanship.

The Coromandel County News speak 3 very highly of the new Warden (Mr F J. Burgess), and expresses the opinion that the line of conducting business decided upon by him is calculated to conserve the best interests of mining as an industry, to arsist bona fide ventures and tend to prevent the floatation of “ Wild cats.” Mr Burgess, has left a favourable impression in every town he has visited in this district, and we feel sure that under his administration the mining industry will receive a decided impetuous. All sorts of pastes and liquids have been placed on the market, for polishing linoleum and furniture. Most of them rub in the dirt and polish on top. Tan-ol not only cleans the linoleum but polishes as well. Those who try Tan-ol onoe never use a paste again. Sold in bottles at all stores. Advt.
