AITKEN AND PETERS.

THEIR NEW’ PREMISES. Miien Messrs Aitken and Peters re-• moved to their new premises, next Kilgour’s, Mawhera, Quay, cireymouth, members of the firm showed just what could be done in a short time. previous to their removing, their new premises were renovated and repainted; mirrors were hung just in the right places, and the effect is charming to the eye. Artists in window dressing, lli' ir show wThdow in Mawhera Quay is one ol'the sights of Greymouth. Entering from the Mawhera Quay, entrance, one encounters the Mercery Department. .Everything is neat and trim, and the liriu show some wonderful values. Then comes the Dress Department, where all the mysteries of feminine avear pro displayed to the delighted fail- sex—crepe de Chines, voiles, sponge cloths, ginghams, and coloured crepes, are everywhere. Next comes the fancy department, with its ribbons and laces—frail, flimsy-look-ing laces, with choice designs. Tn<m through a line archway one comes to a carpet and rug department, where' the latest designs of carpets and rugs, are desplayed. Further on, hi the millinery show room, there are scores of hats arranged in such a manner as to tempt money from the pocket or the most thrifty housewife. Still on, one comes to the children’s depart-; ment, where children’s wear is stocked! in great variety. Here we can step into Albert Street,! and there view another show window, | dressed about as daintily as the first. Aitken and Peters’ new premises are more of an Arcade than a shop. Sky-1 lights, which seem to be in the correct | place, throw a nice light on the dis-1 played drapery, and sundry mirrors] give the place a delightful tone, sei-) dom seen. The huge trade now being done by | this firm since their removal to the} larger premises, has compelled them to buy heavily. Large shipments of al' i the latest fashions arc due next week. —advt.
