JOSEPH CLARK, East street, Ashburton. 192 c T AKE TIME BY THE LOCK” FORE- The circumstances of social life are widely different in these colonies from those at Home, and therefore the colonial market requires different treatment.

NEW INDUSTRY,



I have pleasure in stating that the Wheeler and Wilson Machines have given me entire satisfaction. I consider it a better machine for work than any other I have tried. —Petek Stewart, Draper, Great King street, Dunedin. I like the Wheeler and Wilson better than any other machines I have used, it is lighter to work, much faster, and for dressmaking, etc., it cannot be surpassed. M. Gavanagh, Dressmaker, Caversham, Dunedin. We have 20 No. 6 Wheeler and Wilson’s in use ; we consider them the best for Leather Work ; they give entire satisfac tion.—Allerson & Sons, Manufacturers, York street, Sydney. MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines—“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Wheeler and Wilson Machine, which performed the feat of sewing together all the parts of a pair of moleskin trousers in nine (9) minutes, doing its work smoothly and well. ” ONLY GRAND GOLD PRIZE, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1878. BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The new Straight Needle Wheeler and Wislon have no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tire and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has much less friction than the shuttle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more and greater improvements than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute.

As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on tfie support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancred street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will also be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored with a large consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respects superior, to anything of the same class that can be imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and jby the exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.

Although this office has b6en in eiis tence for a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was established are not sufficiently understood. It is desired to set forth in a concise form information respecting the business which this office undertakes 1 : 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, &c., &c. 2. The administration of the wills o persons who by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfil ment of their wishes, and to avoid the risk consequent on the appointment f private persons as executors, who not on frequently, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, ana conse quently involve themselves and those whose interests they are' striving to pro tect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to in cur the responsibility of administration," or cannot from any cause obtain the . neces sary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts so far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts.; 5. The charge of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is un known, or who has been absent from the colony for ten years, having left>j*no known agent. ,’ ( n‘ The cost of administering estates-is very small. Information may be obtained from all agents. ■ STATION. 284 c 29a R. C. HAMERT6N, Public Trustee
