" These new premise*, built in an exceptionally line block, comprise showrooms, with the latest of innovations introduced, and one. of ih ( . most modern of furniture factories. A floor space of over f.OOl) square feet is now available, affording urgently required facilities for conducting a rapidly-increasing business in all classes of modern furniture, shop, and window fittings, turnery and general woodwork of every description. The note which appears to be sounded out by humming circular saws, planing machines, principals, and workmen alike, is "honest, and high-grade craftsmanship," and illi.s is indeed the secret of the rapid development of Wiikia&oii Bros., Ltd. Out of the "high-rent area," too they are in a position to offer furniture and furnishings at values which absolutely ensure "repeat orders " INVITATION. . The new showrooms will be opened this morning, and the public are cordially invited to come along and inspect these, and also actually to see "furniture in the making." —1
