THE EXHIBITION Of New -Zealand products and manufactures (in which considerable interest is being- taken)*-will bo opened in the Harbour Board's magnificent new sheds on the 24th of this month, and promises to be ahuge saccess. An exhibition of permanent interest is the extensive show rooms of Messrs W. P. Bhortt, Ltd., of Willis street, Wellington, whoso assortment of beautifully made and exquisitely designed furniture' is the admiration of all those who inspect it. Furniture that is made of unseasoned Umber is a continual source of trouble and annoyance from tho time it is purchased! owing to the drawers sticking and the 1 timber warping and splitting. In the manu-1 facture of their goods Messrs Shortt, Ltd., use only the very best seasoned kauri, every article being hand made and thoroughly polished and finished. A guarantee is given with all goods supplied, and should a flaw be found at any time they will b© only too pleased to rectify it at their own expense. Unquestionably Shortt’g, Ltd., afford to furniture buyers advantages that no other firm in tho city can offer. They run their own business, and have no heavy expenses to pay for managers* salaries and directors* foes, which means that they can sell at a much smaller margin of profit than those firms working under these conditions. They manufacture their own furniture. and use only first-class material in their construction, which means that any article purchased from Shortt’a is the very best that skilled workmen can produce, and can be relied upon to last for all time. They invito ail about to furnish to inspect their extensive show rooms and compare the quality and prices of their goods with those of any other firm in Wellington. Catalogues will be posted to any address on application.—Advt. For the past two years there has been a woman police officer at Los Angeles, California, and Aalborg (Denmark) is to adopt the same plan. The woman constable there will wear ordinary dress, and her special duty will b© to keep an eye on women suspected of being engaged in the white slave traffic. The winter air and tho south winds should warn suburban residents of the cold car journeys. To wear one of our snug overcoats is to prevent all coughs and colds.- A fine selection at fine cash prices. Geo. Fowlds. Ltd. •
