One of Levin's business establishments is specially interesting to artistic and cultured minds, and that is the large and well-known stationery, bookselling, and fancy goods shop so ably conducted by Mr. F. W. Jones, in Oxford street, which has during the few brief years it has been established gained steadily in popularity and interest by reason of the capable system under which it is managed, and the innumerable features of novelty with which it has become identified. It is a recognised centre for the supply of all articles usually associated with a first-class stationery and fancy goods shop, and those are arranged so as to illustrate the most effective methods of display and utility, the adaptation of this fine emporium to the most acceptable ideals, of an up-to-date stationery and fancy goods depot being carried out by the proprietor in a manner that adequately attests his knowledge of the trade and of public tastes and requirements. A very large stock of commercial and general stationery,is held by Mr. Jones, notwithstanding the unfortunate war conditions, and just here it may be pointed out that large purchases made in the early stages of the shipping difficulties enables him to supply local residents with numerous lines that are either not procurable at other shops or that the prices demanded are far in excess of what the public should pay - or are called upon to pay - so long as Mr. Jones supplies last, and this is a matter local residents should commit to memory. The establishment is also a noted one for magnificent art treasures in china and glassware, pictures, dressing, and writing cases, clocks, work cases, picture frames in silver, bronze, and fancy woods, albums, inkstands, and an infinity of elegant bric-a-brac, while of all athletic goods the number is legion. Mr. Jones is agent for the sale and distribution of the Evening Post and several, other dailies, while the number of magazines received regularly at his establishment amply demonstrates the wide connection throughout the district this business enjoys.

A SPECIAL OFFER.
With the object of giving the outside town and country dwellers an accurate idea as to Levin's resources and beauty spots, Mr. Jones will post free, on receipt of 9d, six handsome views of different parts of the town and district to any address in the Dominion. These views are worth 3d each, but this offer is a special one to advertise the town, and it remains open for one calender month, so write today and secure some of these fine views.

  Before digital media came to the cinema adverts were shown using transparent slides. Each slide was loaded into the projector for only a few seconds, otherwise the heat would cause the glass to crack. They were usually shown during the intermission, just as the audience was returning to their seats.  

To keep costs down for advertisers some local businesses used 'stock illustrations' for their slides- like Jones' Post Office Store in Foxton Beach probably did. The happy fisherman is carrying a trout on his back and a triumphant look in his eyes- but most Foxton fishing happened in the sea!

SEA JOURNEY TO U.K. AT AGE OF 89 YEARS

The lure of overseas vistas has for one resilient, no bar as for as age is concerned. He is Mr. Howard Jones, well-known in the borough, who celebrated his 89th birthday last week.

Mr. Jones was to leave Levin Today for Auckland whence he is to depart tomorrow in the Ruahine for England on a holiday trip. He will be ac­companied by his daughter, Mrs. W. G. Phillips. They will travel in England and Wales, the length of their stay being not definite. Mr. Jones has made similar trips previously.

Mr. Jones was a teacher in England and came to New Zealand in 1900 by the Papa­roa, the first twin-screw vessel to arrive at the Dominion.

Taught In Levin

He came to Levin 46 years ago and took up a teaching position at the then Levin Dis­trict High School (now the Levin School), under the headmaster, Mr. J. McIntyre, who as Mr. Jones said, was loved by all. Mr. Jones taught at the school for 24 years, be­ing first assistant when he re­tired in 1938. He also taught for about six weeks at the Koputaroa School.

"I taught a good many children to Levin how to swim and I also taught a good many how to behave - with a supple­jack," he added. Commenting that "it's very badly needed these days," he said that his resolution proposing the intro­duction of corporal punishment for criminal offences was adopted by the local and Dominion sections of the New Zealand National Party, but I had been "watered" down due to opposition from other quar­ters.

Wide Interests

Mr. Jones has taken a wide interest in various borough activities. He was for many years secretary of the Horo­whenua Teachers' Institute and was its delegate for about 16 years, to the conferences in Wellington of the New Zealand Educational Institute. He was a vestryman and choir member of St. Mary's Anglican Church, and has been for a period of 50 years, a lay reader for the Church of England, gaining his licence from Bishop Wallis at Wellington in June, 1911.

Mr. Jones was secretary of the Levin Amateur Swimming Club, was secretary of the Levin Bowling Club, of which he is a life member, and for a period of about five years he acted as umpire for cricket, mainly for the Levin Cricket Club. He was the first secretary and honorary organiser for the Levin branch of the National Party.
