Business Notices. 
BRIDGLAND & ATTERTON, 
Our readers will notice an advertise- 
ment of the progressive and up-to-date 
business house of Bridgland & Atterton, 
who claim to have the largest stock and 
finest display in the Commonwealth iu 
their specialities of men’s and juvenile 
clothiers and outfitters. They also cater 
extensively for the order tailor-made 
garments and their bespoke suit for 
appeararice apd durability is unrivalled. 
The hat, shirt and collar, mercery and 
hosiery, ties rugs and blankets depart- 
ments are exceptionally well-stocked. 
In order to get down to bedrock in the 
matter of prices this firm imports direct 
from manufacturers of repute at first cost 
the raw material, and manufactures in this 
State for their customers’ requirements ; 
the result is you practically buy at 
wholesale prices, and have every comfort, 
courtesy and consideration shown you, 
which makes shop buying a real pleasure, 
It would be an unusually fastidious or 
hard-to-please customer who could not 
be suited in this house. 
We notice juvenile suits from 2s 6d to 
25s the suit, of every shape and style 
possible. Men’s suits 93 6d to 5Us, boy‘s 
knickers 1s to 7s the pair. 
We notice about 2000 dozen linen 
collars of every conceivable shape, of 
excellent quality four-fold at the nominal 
cost of 6d each. 
Other goods are equally low-priced, 
and a visit would result in mutual profit, 
—— 
TERAI TEA. 
Amongst the tea trade productions 
owing their existence to S.A. that have 
made movement ahead in output during 
the past year, may be mentioned the 
Terai brand of tea put up by G, Wood 
Son and Co., Adelaide, 
This firm adopted, as an advertisement, 
gifts of watches to consamers who would 
return to them a specified number of 
of empty packets, and these letters answer 
emphatically for the satisfaction of the 
public both for the tea and the watches. 
Public opinion has been awakened to the

great merit of Messrs G. Wood, Son 
and Co’s brand of Terai tea in a fashion 
that cannot be gainsaid. Terai tea has 
sprung into great prominence by the 
above offer, and asit has been determined 
to continue giving a lady’s keyless gun- 
met 1 small size watch for forty empty 
llb, Terai tea packets returned any time 
up to August Ist, 1909, as well as the 
gentlemen’s keyless nickel watch for 30 
1lb packets. This no doubt will further 
enhance its reputation and popularity ; 
business methods of introducing wares 
are many and devious, but Messrs G. 
Wood, Sun and Co are justifiably proud 
ofthe results that have emanated from 
their watch gift. 
The public are not slow to see value

opinions expressed by all sections of the

often resented, but public opinion gene- 
rally has a valuation that is worthy of the 
utmost respect, Therefore, Messrs Wood 
Son and Co, are of the opinion that 
the public vote beingin favor of Terai 
tea to-day, as the popular brand, before 
a year passes, a far bigger demand will 
be in swing. As a South Anstralian 
trade production, we can personally com- 
pliment Messrs G. Wood, Son and Co. 
npon its merit, and wish them the fullest 
succeess. Farmers or large consumers 
of tea can purchase tins containing 301b 
and 401b, with watches, gent’s and ladies’, 
respectively, enclosed.

MR. J. SHEPHERD. 
Mr. J. Shepherd, whose saddlery and 
harness advertisement appears in an- 
other column, is a practical man of very 
extensive the largest 
cities in the Commonwealth and country 
districts of nearly all the States. He has 
held many responsible positions, and has 
had charge of some of the largest mann_ 
facturing establishments in the States. 
Mr Shepherd has an up-to-date shop in 
Rundle Street, and is personally super- 
yisinng his manufactures and importa-

satisfactory. 
VICHEROY TEAS, 
Messrs ‘Wilkinson and Co. began busi- 
hess in Freeman St. as wholesale grocers, 
about, 20 years ago. Trade continued to 
expand and larger premises beame neces- 
sary, with the result that shortly after 
Mr A, Shepherd returned from England 
10 years ago, he drew sketch plans of 
the great warehouse which now forms a 
landmark in Grenfell street, andis being 
added to. Included in the increase of 
manufactures are Viceroy teas, and other 
things, and the tea-blending equipment 
has proved far too small to meet orders 
The Viceroy and Mandrin blends have 
grown so much in popularity that a mixer 
which is the largest of its kind in Aus- 
tralia, and is capable of holding 2,000 
pounds of tea, and asmaller mixer, are 
constantly in use blending the leaves 
which are responsible for the beautiful 
flavor of the teas. The immense devel- 
opment of the tea business has been 
a surprise even to the members of the 
flrm, and it is gratifying to know that 
a local blend should have met the popular 
taste so admirably.
