Window Dressing In New Zealand
Lord Barnaby’s Views “The usual run of shop windows is really terrible. God knows we in England are bad enough in comparison with other countries, but you are a step worse here,” said Lord Barnaby in the course of his address to the Wellington Chamber of Commerce. “When President of the Federation of British Industries I made a feat ure of stressing the need for art in industry,” he said. “We lose nationally by the neglect of the artistic in the appearance and the marketing of our products. May I be permitted to say the same of New Zealand? May I instance the usual run of shop windows’ displays, the styles of your buildings? Modern buildings in the United States show what, without much, if any, extra cost, can be done. The cultivation of the artistic develops many virtues in the national character.”
