ATTRACTIVE EXHIBITON

NEWTON KING’S STAND MANY FARM NECESSITIES Prominent amongst the many fine stands at the Waikato Winter Show is that of Newton King, Ltd. This is situated on the right of the main entrance and is attractively decorated and lettered. Being one of the largest stands in the main pavilion, Newton King, Ltd., give a very comprehensive display from essential farm machinery to motor cars, and these have held the interest of the public to a considerable degree since the opening day. Newton King, Ltd., have just taken up the agency for the Singer car, and have landed a large shipment of models on their own indent. The car is wellknown, the 9 and 10 h.p. models being most economical in fuel and sturdy in construction. The firm considers the Singer will become a very popular ear by reason of its merit alone. Another agency is that of the famous Plymouth, of which there are few models left in New Zealand. Newton King, Ltd., had foreseen this shortage and now hold stocks of the three models. With a reduction of £su per car lor this year’s model, which is a Chrysler product, the Plymouth car should be in good demand, particularly considering its record in the past. Both these ears should be inspected on Newton King Ltd.’s stand.

Dairyfarmers will be most interested in the “ King ” Milker. Coming from a dairy producing province like Taranaki, the “ King ’’ has stood the test of time. It is noted for the excellent quality of the materials of which it is composed, and for its sanitary milking there being no rubber joints to taint the milk. It will be noted that the connecting pipe between the releaser and the vacuum tank has been reduced to four inches, thus eliminating any risk of contamination. It is most accessible for cleaning purposes and justifies the firm's claim for sanitary milking. The “ King ” ” vacuum reducing unit is made not only for the “ King " Milker, but may be attached to any plant in use. Its features are to give a low vacuum on the cow and cut out labour in handling. The suction is only slightly more than that used by a calf suckling and teat cups can be left on without damaging the cow. There is a courteous attendant at Newton King’s stand ready to explain the many excellent points of this increasingly popular machine.

Another machine which has the firm's trade name “ King ” is the household washer, which has a special wringer attached with rubbers that w.ll not damage clothes. It is easy to operate aud cheap in running costs.

A very excellent and attractive display of Philips Radio is made by Newton King, Ltd. This radio is known throughout the world for its wonderful tonal response, especially in the new console model exhibited on the stand. A lot of interest has been created by the push-button tuning set, which is -so accurate in operation. To show how this is controlled the firm has displayed the working parts without a case. Models of Philip’s Radio are shown from four valves to 10 valves, giving splendid reception in spite of the many adverse influences that are obvious in such a place as a Show.

The farmer will also be interested in the display of farm machinery. This catches the eye at once, all the models running under power. First there is the new Evona Hay Baler, an outstanding product with a strength equal to the highest priced balers on the market, yet at a cost within the range uf every pocket. Martin side rakes and tedders and swathe-turners is a line which has met with outstanding success in the Waikato and are the latest tilings in hay turning machinery. They are most reasonably priced.

The John Deere Mower is seen in action. Its chief feature is its lightness in draught and owing to the parts moving in an oil hath it is practically lrictionless. Its work is undoubted, and no farmer would regret ownership of sueh a machine. Working without cessation are a number of water pumps, making for an attractive part of Newton King's stall. These pressure systems are all made by Anderson’s, Ltd., a New Zealand firm with a reputation. These will raise from 100 gallons to iOOU gallons of water per hour. These pumps are electrically driven but can be easily harnessed to any power. Newton King, Ltd., arc to the fore In electric fences. They decided to handle the “ Cine vox ” after exhaustive tests, and are convinced it is the most efficient yet lowest priced on the market. It will control any class of stock, and one unit will electrify up to 20 miles of fencing. It is all New Zea-land-made and is serviced by experts, a guarantee for two years being given. A feature is a tell-tale dial which shows at a glance the condition of tiie fence or battery.

Naturally catering for farm requirements, Newton King, Ltd., supply stock foods and mineral lick together with Sucre Pig Food. These are the most balanced and body-building foods produced to-day.
