LOOK! ITS HERE! THE NEW WESTINGHOUSE

Golden Jubilee REFRIGERATOR!

Something has happened in refrigeration. Recent standards of refrigerator value have been discarded and surpassed. An utterly new and higher standard is embodied in the new 1936 Westinghouse Golden Jubilee Refrigerator line.

Truly, it has everything you ever hoped for in a refrigerator and more. Streamline beauty styled for today and for the years to' come. Tested by time and proved by. performance in thousands of homes, ita famous Hermetically-scaled Mechanism has demonstrated its quiet, trouble-free, econom- ical operation. Sealed in cit... protected forever against dust and dirt. The grandest array of practical convenience features ever found in a refrigerator. And back of all these advantages--50 years of electrical achieve- ment by Westinghouse.

No wonder it's the outstanding refrig [crator value of 1936. There's a wide range of sizes and models. Come in today and see these great refrigerators.

TWO Australians are planning te

establish four milling in dustry in Hongkong with iden of capturinge market in South China, Philippines and Malaya.

They are Mr. W. Walkins, financial expert, and Mr. E. C. Jurlan, wheat and flour author- ity. At present Hongkong im- porta from Australia about h million piculs of flour every year and Manila buys even more.

Mr. Watkins says that it will be much cheaper to erect a flour mill in Hongkong than in Sydney. Labour will be cheaper and immenne duty payable ол machinery entering Australia will be avoided.

Cheaper In Hongkong.

A

FEW years ago a similar mill was erected in Hongkong but

it failed..

Tho Australian pair have thoroughly investigated the fallure which they state, was due to over speculation and inability to buy wheat at a world parity price.

To-day wheat all over the world costs practically the same to all: millers, and in Hongkong the Aus- tralian wheat would have a slight advantage owing to freight rates, while the cost of milling would probably be less than almost any- where in the world.
