S)ear 7Hr WiY/iams; You got my wireless ethergram, and according to my promise I am here. Since your first invitation I have a special interest in Te Aroha, and as you are aware my mission is not to find fault, so that when I comment on things in general it is with the object of trying to bring under the notice of the authorities some of your requirements. As I came over the railway bridge I noticed quite a number of new houses and a new traffic bridge across your beautiful river, which will be a great convenience to your settlers when completed. I was delighted when I got to your business place to see that you have kept up my prestage ; I was really pleased at the beautiful display of goods in your windows. lam a judge, and can honestly say they are equal to any in the Dominion, and your prices are most reasonable ; fancy a nice tea set for C G. I thought what a pity the delegates from the Chambers of Commerce of the Empire, when they visited the Dominion were not invited to Te Aroha. What an advertisement you lost for your beautiful waters, lam always anxious to get here, for wheu I get a glass of your mineral waters I feel quite young again, I feel as if I should like to take every man, woman and child to visit the home of Sanatoriams, as I know it would give them an idea of my mission. I had a peep into all your stock and I find it up-to-date- I wish I could say the same of the dirty old pump over No. 15 spring, which is a down right disgrace to the Tourist Department, who surely must be ignorant of the value of those precious waters, the equal to any in the whole earth, and I know something about them. If the Department wouid only take a leaf out of your book in advertising Te Aroha ? Your crockery views of very best Chinawaro has given pleasure to mipy a visitor this season. lam truly pleased with the display of Crockery views and Post Card views. It is impossible to form any idea of your stock without paying you a visit ; and in hundreds of homes throughout the world I have come across these views, and it was a real pleasure for me to know I had such a representative in Te Aroha, Among the novelties in your Santa Claus palace I find the very latest in flying machines, and I am sure you will make this Christmas long to be remembered. I found you had decided to open a Santa Claus display in the Hot Springs Commercial room. After thinking the matter over I have decided to leave you my daughter, and I have no hesitation in saying Mrs Williams, Miss A. Hare and Miss Low will present her to the public worthy of Santa Claus. Not one in the district should miss the opportunity of visiting her. I would like to draw public attention to your stock of ’Xmas decorations : Santa loves to see your homes decorated in his honor, and your stock of ’Xmas and New Year Cards deserve patronage. I know your space is limited, consequently I must omit a hundred and one things I should like to mention, but I strongly advise all to visit you and they will not be disappointed. A parting word about your beautiful town : I see a good deal of improvement in your husiness places, all very busy getting ready for ’Xmas. I was disgusted to find the ramshaokyi building still doing duty' for a Post Office ; and I sincerely hope Sir Josoph Ward will keep his promise if for no other reason than for humanity’s sake, for it is cruel to work officials in that building. I also hope to find an up-to-date Town Hall, for you are really behind the back blocks in this building. Wishing every business man and woman a real good time, and again respectfully requesting you to pay my representative a visit, I am, Yours faithfully, &dnta *€{aud,
