FIFTH BIRTHDAY.

REMARKABLE PROGRESS OF THE BRISTOL. It is just five years ago that the Bristol Piano Coy opened their branch, shop in Greymouth under the management of Mr H. G. Deane, and their progress during this period'has proved to those who were then cynical of the undertaking, that Mr R. A. Horne showed very shrewd' judgment when he launched out in Greymouth. For, as the Bristol went ahead at the outset, it-has always gone ahead, and today, in order to cope with their everincreasing business, they have found it necessary to make extensive- alterations to* thoir premises. To accommodate their large gramophonisf clientele, two extra, private audition rooms' are- now available. Here, in the comfort, ©f easy intending purchasers* .can hear. the* latest records on a;.cabinet gramophone, or play over pieces piano, as desired* The Bristol’ believe this* to be quite new •to the Coast, and aj:e certain that it will be thoroughly appreciated by all their, cuatomei;s. It, also establishes the fact that the Bristol recognises that business. ,on ( the Coast has not only grown., but will further increase in 'growth., and,. thgrefQie, they are out to naeet it. A frother addition to the 'premises., a completely equipped .workshop where the work turned out has beeii demonstrated equal to the ibest English factorigg. Here repairs | —key laying, rewiring, restringing, refilling, renewing woodwork, and repolishing—are' executed, and time-worn pianos, organs and gramophones are 1 turned out BKe new.
