This firm can claim the enviable distinction^of having the richest display in the show. Their magnificent exhibition of carpet squares, rugs, furnishings, etc., is a credit to any firm in the Dominion, and doubly so to our young and enterprising Wanganui firm. 0» the present occasion they are specialising on what may be termed a Wilton carpet display. Obviously they could not show anything like their full range of stock, which comprises over 220 ear. pets, but those on exhibition give some idea of the rich quality and artistic* designs. They are mainly in the 9ft. by 10ft. 6in. and 9ft. by 12ft. sizes, and these run in price from £18 10s to £28 10s and from £22 respectively. The 27in. wide Axminster runners cost from 20s a yard; the velvet piles from 18*, whilst tapestry fyd. wide are from 9s 6d, and the fyd. wide from 12s 6d. Here again the richness of design and superb quality will appeal to all who view them. The firm is showing an especially fine line of hall rugs, 6ft by 4ft. 6in., from £6, and 7ft. 6in. by 4ft 6m. from £7 10s. In Axminster hearth rugs they have selected a fair tfange from their big stocks in Wanganui of over 600. These run from 32s 6d to 355, and a glance at their design and quality will be .conclusive evidence as to their value.
