TRADE DISPLAYS.

There are quite, a number- oi-tirade-displays, among them being:-r: An.exhibit which compels attention i* that of Mr. Newton King, whose business in its many branches extends throughout Taranaki. Only features of the business were represented in the exhibits, which, however, required a great deal of space. Two up-to-date Dodge cais, for which iMr. King is agent, were the central attraction, A roadster and a touring, model were shown, and their fine appearance aci excellent finish, coupled with their isowa reliability, gave them a distinguished place among the whole of the cars in the building. The roadster was painted a sage green and the other black. These was also a B&uA. motor cycle, and in a glass case a lull range of accessories were advantageously Bhown. Michelin tyres and Hovoline pus and greases were, included in this section. , ' The nearest'possible approach to-an: fcctual demonstration that the crwumfetances would permit-was givenwath tue, tenowned Eidd WWag machine-, which has found such wide acceptance among fanners throughout Australasia, wfeo faiow froa practical «V"««* *| worth.

| SSXES'S STOCK. SEMEMES. Fanners should not on any account miss Sykes's exhibit of the latest in veterinary remedies qnd instruments, got up in a compact and handy form ready for use in case of emergency. Many losses of stock have been averted bv the use of these remedies, and it goes Without saying that no towrjflwuH be without them. Sykes's dairyman s outfit contains safe remedies of proved I merit, and with one of these the farmer is relieved of much anxiety, and is always prepared for many of those troubles with stock which, for want of timely and proper attention, may easily end fatally. In these prices of high prices for dairy stock it pays to take all reasonable precautions against losses, and to be without Sykes's outfit is for the farmer not only to lay himself open to trouble and loss but to invite it The exhibit is in charge of a practical farmer, Mr. Percv Howard, of Awakino, who will be pleased to answer all inquiries and give the fullest information about the remedies and their use. A quantity of literature is on the stall, containing many tints, suggestions and directions to farmers which will be found invaluable. The exhibit does not lend itself to display, but it is none the less valuable on that account.

DUNCAN AND DAVHJS, LTD. The only exhibit of pot plants and flowers in the show was entered by Messrs Duncan and Davies, Ltd. me plants are particularly well grown and healthy, which speaks well for Taranaki climate and soil. Among the novelties in pot plants mav he mentioned trees such as phyllodadus glaucus, gaulthena, vericonas of various kinds, nei nei. and the rare umbrella fern gleichenia ad flabellata. The foreign plants included Himalayan rhododendrons, Australian grevillias, heaths, bouvardias dwarf retinosparas, and winter flowering wattle. Of the flowers and autumn foliage the following are worthy of mention: Bhusvernicifra, metrosideros villosa, protea, bakea, and a small spray of the commercial tea plant. Included in the exhibit were samples of various hedge olants and fruit trees. The whole of the'exhibits were well displayed and received much attention from visitors. SPEDDING, STAINTON & CO., LTD. This firm are showing a 1918 electric Indian motor cycle. It is the latest model, with wide, clean handle-bars, separate generator, and electric hornThe machine is fitted with Schebeler carburettor, and is sold on models. A 1917 Indian electric model side-car outfit is also exhibited. The chasis is the genuine Indian, and the coach-built body and excellent springs give the passenger every comfort. Quite a number of novelties are shown here, for which the firm are sole distributors, amongst which are noticed Pcrma Loc repair outfit. This product, the firm claims, and rightly so, will repair any puncture or blow out in two minutes, and furthermore it is a permanent repair. The Non-Glare lens is shown, and motorists are advised to fit these to their headlamps to avoid the dangerous glare. Another neat accessory is a spark tester. This little tool will pick a faulty plug in two seconds. A number of other lines are shown, Which will, no doubt, find a ready sale. _ The whole forms a very pleasing exhibit.

J. B. MACEWAN AND 00. Messrs J. B. MacEwan and Co. have on exhibition the well-known L.K.G. Milking Machine, and also other lines of dairy machinery, including separators, water-pumps, rams, etc. The L.K.G., the pioneer of present-day milking machines, has been in the' market for a period of seventeen years, and with the up-to-date improvements added from time to time it still retains its high reputation, each year's sales exceeding those for the previous year. The water-pumps, which are manufactured in the firm's own works, are specially suited for factory and farm use. The Baltic separators, noted for their clean running and easy skimming, are also on view, and the number of machines' sold annually testifies to their efficiency. Altogether the exhibit is well worth the attention of those interested in dairy linesP. H. ROBERTSON AND CO. Conspicuous among the motor car exhibits was a six-cylinder 1919 model Buiek, displayed by Messrs F. H. Robertson and Co., the New Plymouth agents. For good appearance, strength, and durability the car stands in the forefront, and it was not surprising that many visitors to the show paused to admire it, while those directly interested _ in motor cars spent some time scanning its attractive outlines and examining the various improvements lately introduced. The car is a fivc-seater and the casing of the engine—a new idea— prevents dirt from getting on top of the plugs. That the parts are self-lubricating is another advantage which was noticed by fhoie interested, Xfct car is- p»iated

grey and black, and is upholstered with a view to giving the greatest degree 01 comfort as well as attractive appearance. 'Messrs Robertson and Co. are also showing a Wizard lighting plan. This system of lighting has long passed the experimental stage, and its value is now receiving wide recognition in country disJOE JENKTNSON, PAINTER. The painting of motor cars belongs to the highest branch of the painting trade, and the finished work of Mr. Joe Jenkinson, who exhibited a car newly painted and decorated by him was a revelation to those unfamiliar with the class of work he turns out. The car, without close inspection of the tyres and parts which no painter's skill could renew, would have passed for a new one. It was painted a rich cream, with gold linings. The upholstery had been dressed in black, and the screen and all fittings nickelled. The ear left no doubt as to Mr. Jenkinson's qualifications as a motor car painter, and the liberal praise bestowed upon his., work was well deserved.

A.W.R. MILKING MACHINE. No dairy fanner visiting the Show should fail to see the A.W.R. Milking plant. These machines, which arc locally manufactured, have been on the market for about eight years, and are widely us?d throughout Taranaki. They are fitted with the new combined Anderson engine, and the complete absence of belts must commend it favorably to any prospective buyer. Unfortunately, owing to the delay in the arrival of the Whakatane, the company was unable to show the plant as it would have liked, but it is hoped to have the engine working on Friday. The plant was exhibited at the Hamilton Show with remarkable success, and all intending purchasers would do well to see the machine before placing their orders. The pulsator may be adjusted to suit any particular herd, and is simple and reliable. The releaser is automatic in action and does away with the frothing and agitating of the milk. The materials are the very best—nickelplated copper and brass. Numerous users in this district testify to the efficiency obtained and the economy of benzine by usingfi the A.W.R. The headquarters of the company are at Stratford, and the agent for North Taranaki resides at Inglewood. Dairymen can depend upon getting their wants supplied promptly at ft minimum of cost by dealing with the A.W.R., who can supply either bucket or releaser plants, can convert any make of machine into an A.W.R., and who are turning out the only automatic beltless milking machine on the market. SUTTON'S SEEDS. In, & district like Taranaki, where winter feed is necessary, the question of the reliability and variety of seeds is of great importance. The name of Sutton is invariably regarded as a sufficient guarantee 61 the quality of seeds, and it is in the proper order of things that they should be important exhibitors at the Show. No show in the Dominion would be complete without a display of the swedes, etc., grown from the seeds for which this firm has gained the highest reputation. The most striking thing (about the display is the up-to-date swedes of such huge proportions that they weigh Iron 31 lto down to 20 lbs.

These were grown by Mr. Fred Loveridge, of Huirangi, and are clean, shapely specimens. Other varieties of swedes exhibited are magnum bonum, monarch, superlative, and crimson' king. In addition, there are white turnips, Devonshire greystone, red paragon, hardy queen globe, purple top Aberdeen, and numbers of others, all tried and proved suitable to the district. The mangolds, also, are of impressive dimensions, the varieties including Jersey queen, yellow globe, sugar, and long red. The exhibit was completed with some carrots, such as the matchless, white, yellow, intermediate, and magnum bonum. Some of the best roots grown from Sutton's seeds were in the competitive section.

THE MAXWELL CAR. Mr. C. L. Wilson, Taranaki distributor fn> the farmen.' Maxwell car, has on view a 1919 model 5-seater touring car, which makes a very attractive display indeed. The body design is a pure streamline, finished in dark blue with a gold band and with fenders and bonnet finished with a fine baked enamel in black. There is ample room for five passengers, and, with the 50-inch underslung springs at the rear, the car is very comfortable to ride in. The frame is made qf 6-inch channel steel, and looks very solid and well balanced. One of the'main features, apart from its smart and serviceable appearance and up-to-date electrical equipment, is that the maintenance and running expenste is quite low. Mr. Wilson imports direct from the manufacturers, and, in consequence, is able to sell the car without undue expense, so that, at £3'< so with self-starter, extra rim, tyre and tube, and economy of running expenses, the claim that the Maxwell is the beßt value light car at present on the market is not an extravagant one to make. The Taranaki Motor Transport Company are the New Plymouth and district agents.

THE DEVIL'S WHIRL. The Globe of Death, or the "Devil's Whirl," which comes direct from Fujler's Opera House, Auckland, where it has just concluded a most successful season, is the only side show of importance. In this globe of death Miss and Master Sia'g perform their darc-de"il feat of looping the loop in the giant steel globe on motor-cycles No visitor to the show should fail to see this daring act, which takes place in an annexe at the back of the building. In connection with this, mid just across the building, the wonder boy gives an exhibition of spinning, weaving, and blowing glasg. Souvenirs of spun glass will be presented to every lady patron during the show. After the show the Staigs re-join Fullers at Wellington.
