Prepare for your Guests

ARE YOU READY FOR THE CENTENNIAL? Painters, carpenters, and house decorators have never been busier in Wellington than they are at the present time. Everyone is up and doing, preparing the way for additional comfort, additional smartness, additional accommodation, and additional happiness during the Centennial year. This completion of New Zealand’s first_ century is to be an event of outstanding importance, especially in Wellington, where it is to be marked by the bolding of the largest, most unique and modern Exhibition ever held in Australasia. For that reason people will gravitate from all points of the compass to the Empire City, where practically every event of importance in connexion with the Centennial is to take place. These hundreds of thousands will have to be accommodated as comfortably and attractively as possible, and it is the duty of citizens and householders of Wellington to see that they do their part. People visiting Wellington on a Centennial holiday will not venture long distances to live in quarters that are drab, dull and depressing. It is the bounden duty of all those who intend to live up to the spirit of New Zealand's Centennial to see that their homes, and, in the case of business people, their premises, public and private hotels and boarding-houses, are made presentable to the eye and comfortable to the being. Underneath readers will find a number of worth-while suggestions which it is recommended they avail themselves of as soon as possible, and thus avoid the inconvenient lastminute rush.
