.—.——- I 8:: c. J. nonm' DISPLAY. An inspection of the \\’alkato Winter Show is not complete unless visitors thoroughly inspect the concrete products and sundrics manufactured by Mr U. J. Roberts on his stand effluent to the Bledisloe iinll. Both town ant country visitors will llnd plenty to interest them on this stand. all produull which are manufactured in Grey Street. Hamilton, being or guaranteed workmanship. Some of the lines likely to create interest arc, Concrete Boiler ICasinss, \\'ash Tubs. Chimneys. Well Cylinders, Pipes, Troughs, Concrete Tanks and Stands complete. Culverts. Kerbs. Fencing Panels and Mineral Lick Boxes. etc. All lines are made with the same high-class workmanship that has characterised this flrm‘s products throughout many years and has enabled them to build up their enviable reputation. The articles, which. are exceptionally low priced. are eminentiy suitable for town house. farm house or farms. Three special lines of tanks and a silo are t’eatured in the display and they certainly warrant attention. Concrete circular tanks and stand complete are an attractive line and should prove of great value. The stand is nindc us it. room under the tank and‘ can be used for storing butter. meat and cirgs and the like. This room is cool. sanitary and everlasting and with an ample tank on the top commends itself to farmers. An adequate water supply is essential on every farm and ‘the new large concreto tanks supply is long-felt want in this direction. Minerallsed water corrodes iron tanks but the concrete types or 500 gallons and over should prove ivlcol on any farm. A small tank containing .100 gallons. plnced on the top of :1 large tank holding anything above 1500 gallons. guarzinlccs an adequato water pressure on a lowdying farm. This style of tank has proved very popular and is well \\'(ll‘ih inspecting. The increasing demand for Silos has prompted .\lr Roberts to manufactura concrete Silos 0! all sizes. Whether the silo is to be built. above or below the surface of the ground or partly in 1: bank makes no difference.
