    The well-known ironmongers of 287-9 Elizabeth-street, Melbourne, are showing at their stand, Patterson-avenue, an interesting display of the many lines for which they are well known. Their "Bunyip forest devil is again in evidence this year, proving a source of interest to all who have anything to do with clearing. Cooper's "Anvil" plough shares are to be seen in the three styles in which they are now being made, and the patent Delusion fence trap for catching rabbits is a remarkably simple, effective and inexpensive trap. Milk cans, fireplaces, Myer's double-acting force pump, and all kinds of farming ironmongery are being shown.9
