OPENING FOR PUBLIC EXHIBITION TO-DAY, JUNE Zad SIX-ROOMED SHOW BUNGALOW COMPLETE IN DETAIL ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF McKENZIE & WILLIS' SHOW ROOMS The idea of this type of exhibition originated with the furniture trades of Great Britain, who staged what is known as the "ideal homes exhibition" annually, the idea being to educate the public to the building and furnishing of brighter and more tasteful homes. This show has become one of the biggest annual attractions at Olympia. 3 I A HOME LOVERS 9 EXHIBITION ORGANISED BY McKENZIE & WILLIS, THE LEADING FURNISHERS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH MESSRS SCOTT BROS. LTD. (Fireplaces), MESSRS J. C. MERCER & SONS LTD. (Model Kitchen), MESSRS ASHBY BERGH & CO. AND MESSRS A. & T. BURT LTD. (Model Bathroom). These firms have combined to produce a show house which is well worth everyone's inspection, as it is the most complete and finest exhibition of its kind ever arranged in New Zealand. For the last two months carpenters, joiners and painters have been hurriedly erecting an ultra modern six-roomed bungalow in our showrooms, complete in every detail, even to bathroom and kitchenette. Designed by Mr J. G. Hollis, the well-known architect, and built under contract by Messrs Sharp Bros., this is considered the most complete show home ever erected in New Zealand. With everyone at the present time home-conscious due to the tremendous house-building programme—both Governmental and private—under way at present in Canterbury, it was felt that an exhibition of the most modern furniture and furnishings, arranged in their true setting, would be certain to appeal to everyone. The result has far exceeded all expectations. ' * A REVELATION IN DREAM HOUSES You are invited to the premier opening of this ideal home.
