| the oldest established firm in patea R. A. ADAMS & Sons Ltd. j I Founded in 1868 by the late Mr. Robert Albert Adama, one of the first settlers in the j j pioneer township of Carlyle. j A member of the Armed Constabulary, Mr. Adams knew the wants of the pioneers and j catered for them in the early days of the settlement. He first packed his goods from farmhouse to farmhouse until his business grew to proportions that warranted the j erection of a small shop. Further extensions were made as the business grew, and in j 1908 the present premises were erected. j 1 In later years, Mr. F. W. Locker, the present proprietor, took over the business, and he = has continued' the policy laid down by the founder of the firm. Patea people recognise j the value given to them by a firm such as j \ R. A. ADAMS & Sons Ltd. j Where value reigns supreme in Household Drapery and Men's j and Boys' Clothing. j I
