ALLDEN'S CROCKERY SHOP, 4, KARANGAHAPE ROAD. Allden's, 4, K&rangahape Road (near Grafton Bridge), would be called a "notions' store" in America, it deals in such a lot of things and most of them quite indispensable in the household. The proprietor specialises, however, in crockery, of which he holds considerable stocks. These consist for the most part of .useful lines, tea and dinner services, plates, dishes, jugs, bowls, and the like. A novelty in tea services is exhibited, just now in the window of the establishment. This service is in black and white china, and the effect 5? quite striking. Certainly nothing like ii. 'has been seen in Auckland before. Some pretty afternoon tea sets also challenge the attention of the visitor to this store. These are very dainty, and must be considered most moderately priced at 29s 6d for 21 pieces. It is worthy of note that crockery of all kinds is likely to advance in price again before long, and it should be worth the while of all interested to buy now while prices are (comparatively) low. It may be added that Mr. Allden is always pleased to supply quotations for crockery to hotel and boardinghouse proprietors, restaurauteurs, and the managers of clubs and public institutions, soma of whom (by the way) are already dealing with him. Other lines on sale at Allden's include basketware, tinware, enamelware, and aluminium goods, sports' requisities, and a great assortment of toys for the Xmas trade, all of them well selected and of the kind that' little people love. A special feature consists of dolls, which are here in great variety and make a most attractive showing. Mention must also be made of the picture and toy-books, which ire sure to appeal to children. The business under notice is an oldsstablished one and well-know,n to the public. There are, of course, more pre:entious stores in Auckland, but for Amis
