LUMSDEN’S

The Old Firm. There are two things that are always welcome at Christmas—w'atchcs and rings —and those who want to delight their friends during the coming festive season cannot do better than call at Lumsden’s, where they can be sure of diamond rings and watches of the very finest quality and in the latest styles. “Up-to-date always although seventy years old” is an expression that may fitly be applied to Lumsden’s, the premier jewellers and ring specialists. At Christmas or at any other time the recipient’s pleasure is enhanced tenfold on receiving a gift, whether a ring or a watch, with Lumsden’s Hall Mark of Quality stamped inside the box. It is to everyone’s interest to make their Christmas gift have this distinguishing mark.

Seventy years of trading have taught the firm that direct importing from the cream of the world’s markets, together with their personal guarantee of every article sold, ensures satisfactory trading on the lowest possible price basis. Lumsden's are well and favourably known for their fine value in diamond goods, and those in quest of anything in the diamond line will find a beautiful stock to choose from at prices much lower than they would expect. Perhaps- the most favoured Christmas gift of all is a bracelet watch. Here again Lumsden’s have left nothing to be desired, as their stock is easily the most comprehensive ever shown in Invercargill. There are watches of all the best known makes

and it would be impossible to describe all the different styles and shapes on show. Suffice it to say that Lumsden’s have been in the watchmaking business for over 100 years and a watch bought from this establishment will give reliable service; prices are’ very reasonable. Other interesting features of the stocks to be seen her are rhe artistically finished tea sets, rose bowls and salad bowls, while the genuinely hand-made cut glassware is worthy of a place in even’ home when such moderate prices are being asked. Ear-rings ana brooches are other lines which will greatly attract.
