AUCKLAND Industrial and Mining EXHIBITION. Offleial Handbook and Catalogue. A WARNING TO THE PUBLIC. "Whereas, it has come to our knowledge that ertain perf ons are canvassing for support to and advertisements for a publication alleged to be a ' Handbook of the Auckland Exhibition ' : We beg to warn the public that we have purchased at a considerable price the sole rights to issue a Handbook of the Auckland Exhibition. Any person or persons, other than ourselves or our agents, representing themselves as the publishers of a Handbook or Catalogue of the Auckland Exhibition in order to obtain advertisements or support are guilty of wilful misrepresentation. Also, no publication or Catalogue or Hand" book other than the one issued by ourselves can be sold within the precincts of the Auck land Exhibition. Further, it having been stated by a canvasser in the city, in order to influence advertisements for his publication, that the Official Handbook of the Exhibition to be üblished by us will simply be an advertising pamphlet, we beg to state that this is an absolute falsehood. The Handbook of the Exhibition, which is now in the press, will contain the catalogue of the Exhibition and a letterpress description of Auckland and its surroundings, resources harbour and industries, with a great many pages of illustrations including portraits of public men and objects of beauty and interest in and about Auckland. The Handbook, when issued, will be sold at the price of One Shilling. GEDDIS & BLOMFIELD, WYNDH AM- STREET, Auckland.
