AN OLD-ESTABLISHED HOUSE. Established 1770. Recognised throughout the civilised world as an important factor in society, the Masonic and friendly societies’ organisations claim as adherents a very large proportion of our citizens, For many years it was impossible to obtain the regalia necessary in the Dominion, and members were put to no little inconvenience through the delay caused by wailing for their orders to he executed at Home. Fifty vears ago Mr P. Robert, fully recognising this necessity, established an up-to-date business which catered for the. requirements of all lodges. Since then the growth of the business has been phenomenal, and it now numbers among its clientele societies and private individuals from the North Cape to the Bluff, all this bearing testimony to the uniform workmanship and ability shown in ull -Mr Robert’s undertakings. ’I lie visit of the Prince of Wales is still evergreen in our memories, and it will be remembered that the two rugs, which tlm Prince desired to present to their Majesties the King and Queen, were handed to Mr Robert to bo embroidered with tlie Royal Coal of Arms. This fact alone speaks volumes for the high esteem in which the firm is held. Fancy dress balls have been a source of popularity for many decades and are likely to bo so for many more. The selection of the costume presents many difficulties and exercises one’s taste and judgment to no little extent. To enter for the needs of the dancing members of the community Mr Robert carries a varied array of fancy dress costumes, amongst which one is certain to find just “the thing’’ for the next bull. Amateur dramatic societies have the opportunity of securing their requirements in ail theatrical requisites, including paints, wigs, transformations, powders, etc. The military outfitting branch is complete in every detail and army men can rely on obtaining all the paraphernalia necessary to their culling in large or small quantities. The factory is located 417 Main street east and the retail shop at 301 Main street, and you are invited to call at either of the above addresses, or communicate by telephone number 661.
