A FAMOUS MUSIC HOUSE.

In the palatial new Georgian premises in Queen Street every conceivable musical instrument is stocked, and every branch of music is covered. In addition to agencies for tho greatest makes of pianos, players, gramophones, and radio, there is a piano showroom, a novelty counter, teachers' rooms, a radio department which is at the disposal of all enthusiasts, a gramophone showroom, and audition rooms. The box office is another branch which has, for many years been associated with tho name of the firm.

Last, but not least, is tho magnificent concert hall. To bo thoroughly appreciated this hall must be seen, and as any interested person has but to ask to be conducted over it, the opportunity is not one to bo missed. And so, always combining high business ideals with strict courtesy, Lewis Eady, Limited, has attained to the highest pinnacle of success, well and truly earned.

Mr. Lewis Eady arrived in Auckland in the Andrew Jackson in 1862. It was in 1884 that he commenced business as a practical tradesman in a showroom in a side street off Karangahape Road. Possessing both vision and business acumen, Mr. Eady was not long in increasing his calling and moving to more up-to-date premises at 15, Karangahape Boad. He later moved into Queen Street, and so started on his way to the realisation of his dreams in the great firm of Lewis Eady, Limited, as it to-day stands, housed in the finest and most up-to-date inusic building in the Southern Hemisphere. It has always been the aim of Mr. Eady to uphold the traditions of his house, and conduct the ever-growing principle of unswerving integrity, idealism andi loyalty, by which means he has brought his business to its present high place in tho musical life of New Zealand. Tho activo business management now rests upon tho shoulders of Mr. Eady's five sons, and tho same consistent attention to duty is being followed.
