The Cambria Daily Leader

Swansea and its beautiful Seaside suburb have never been more full of visitors than at present, and the glorious suti.sinne and the .refreshing > b I breeds are adding greatly to the num- ber of entliusirs'ts who declare that there is no placo on earth to equal glorious Gower. Our visitors are enamoured of the beauties-of the bays, and if they have any. complaint at all it is at the lack of ] laeilitses for trips on water and on land, I True, we have the Avro aeroplanes at the moment, but not everybody has the, temerity to go up Next year, ho doubt, I we shall have the pleasure steamer, and, possiDly, motor boats as well, to carry > visitors to places further down the coast. Another much tleeded injaovation 's a service of motor 'buses or charabancs to take our, visitors to the beauty spots cf which they have only heard, or which they can at present reach by chartering a horse or motor vehicle for the day That is another matter which, no doubt. local enterprise will manifest itself dur- iijg the- days to come. But there is one matter in which we do not disappoint the stranger that is within our gates, and on all hands oie hears praise of the excellence of Swan- sea as a shopping centre. Nor is Uiis surprising in view of the progressive firms that have arisen in tho town, that have built up higher reputations by the integrity of their dealing and the business capabilities of their heads. All that the visit-or requires is a little guidance as to where to shop, and we venture to offer help in this respect which will stand him Ifa good stead. I Messrs. Ben. Evans and Co.. Ltd., whose palatial buildings in the town .centre are an outward and visible sign of the quality of the goods to be found within. The motto of the house of Ben. Evans is value for money, and in all the 35 departments of this great store that I ifiotto is faithfully observed. It may I not be generally kn6wii, but it is a fact nevertheless, that goods are sent in I huge quantities from this great house to all parts of the country, and that many big contracts have been recently secured by them in the face of open com- petition of the most determined kind Anything from a hairpin to a house of furniture may* be bought here. Visitors to Swansea should not miss I  visiting the well-known house of Kirk- land, the oldest-established boot and shoe shop in the district.
