PICTURES FOR PRESENTS. The premises of Messrs, M. J. Bennett, Ltd., decorators, 253-255 Karangahape Road, are well worth a visit of inspection by those who are in search of suitable Xmas presents. Their handsomely decorated show-rooms contain everything to make the home artistic, and as when giving presents it is always more satisfactory to give something that is useful ■besides being ornamental, a visit to this enterprising firm will enable one to choose gifts that are "things of beauty and joys for ever." Some beautiful pictures in frames of very chaste design adorn the walls of the warehouse, and as they only await a discriminating purchaser to transfer them to a more permament resting place, those in search of something to brighten up the homo will do well to inspect tho large and varied stock displayed. The artist contemplating a sketching tour is wise to replenish his colour box before starting, as tho back-block store is, as a rule, quito unable to cope with an artist's demands. It therefore behoves the man of colours to lay in a stock that will last well over the holidays, and avoid the troublesome necessity of "wiring" an order to town. ' Messrs. Bennett have a big stock of Windsor and Newton's wellknown colours, and every requisite for the artist. • Tho firm also carry a splendid stock of wall-papers, by some of the leading wallpaper manufacturers, and employ , expert workmen to carry out every description of decorative work. ■ Sign-writing is also a speciality of this firm, and business firms requiring special signs written to advertise their Xmas' goods can rely on Messrs. Bennett executing the work in the very best style and taste. A visit to the spacious welllighted show-rooms will repay inspection.
