WHO HAVE BEEN.IN BUSINESS IN TIMARU FOR , 62 YEARS. | Crockery and Household Hardware Emporium f Situated in the business hub of Stafford Street, more * than fifty years look down on a department of a large and * reputable business founded and controlled by Mr R. H. Bowie * . for forty years, and latterly by Messrs PORTER & * DAWSON, Ltd. This large and prosperous business mainI tained a household word throughout South Canterbury as the i Leading Retail Grocery, Provision, Crockery and Household * Centre. Its spacious and well-appointed departments afford- | ed outstanding facilities for displaying the Great Range of $ Stock commensurate with a Large Clientele and Huge Turn- £ over. * Twelve months ago, Messrs Porter & Dawson, who are | joint owners of the property covering over a quarter of an f acre, after completing extensive additions and alterations, I disposed of the grocery and provision portion of the business | to the Star Stores, Ltd., while the other half, namely, that * of the Crockery and Household Hardware, was acquired by * Mr Ernest Porter as sole proprietor (Mr Dawson retiring from I business). PORTER’S Emporium has been remodelled from % front to rea'r, the modern spacious windows and showroom % facilitating displaying to the best advantage the great stocks ♦> of high-grade goods which are imported direct from the $ world’s manufacturers to Timarii wharf, while the huge storeroom, with a space of 700 square feet, accommodates reserve * stocks which resemble a wholesale warehouse. Concentrating his energies and interest on this important ♦> branch of the business, the proprietor’s policy is, as was that *:* of the worthy founder of forty years’ standing in the original t ' business, PERSONAL CONTROL and EFFICIENCY. , % Regular shipments of High-grade Goods direct from the * potteries and manufacturers comprise—- * DINERWARE in Large and Beautiful Assortment, from **♦ Meakin and Grindley. f FANCY POTTERYWARF and CHINAWARE, in all the Lato est Productions, including Phoenix, Aynsley, Paragon, *}* Grimwade, Mason, .Doulton, Moorcroft, Jacobean, *•’ Shelly, Byzanta, Crown Derby, Royal Woicester, Am- * pliora and others. j;! CRYSTALWA.RE and GLASSWARE from the Best English * and Scottish Manufacturers. * FANCY GOODS —This section comprises a comprehensive | stock of Xylonite/Toilet Soaps, Perfumery and All Toilet * Requisites. I The Spacious Showroom, set out to the best advantage t with tables and showstands, shows off in artistic array pro- ♦> ductions which are a delight to many daily admirers and % purchasers, while the Large Modern Windows would do t credit to any city for brightness and display. * PORTER’S Household Hardware Department commands t the interest and attraction which such a wide range of house- * hold necessities cannot fail to do. Everything in the nature t of Enamel ware, Aluminiumware, Brush ware, Tinware and •j* miscellaneous commodities set out in special ax ray, show to X advantage in a spa.cious department. It is heio that the up* * to-date and busy housewife profits by many suggestions for 4* her household duties. * With a business such as this which has wended its pros- % perous career through more than half a century, _ under personal control, run on sound busi- * ness lines, with an efficient and obliging % s tafF, with choice and value second to none, t .there can be but one summary, viz.— is a True reflex of timaru’s 60 years of steady PROGRESS.
