WE TAKE THE WORRY OUT OF REMOVALS

This was the experience of one family when they got to know of the New Zealand Express Company and the worry it saves. They had to move at a few (lays’ notice to the other island and didn’t know how to set about packing the hundred and one articles which seem to accumulate for attention when a shift is under way. Someone suggested letting us handle it all and shortly afterwards our roomy vehicles were on the scene. Men experienced in the prompt and careful handling of all sorts of goods took charge and spirited things away with the result that they arrived at the other end without a scratch.
