Again, the firm pride themselves on the reliability of their goods and their up-to-dateness. [ Lt is only necessary to state that the j Wanganui branch was established as 1 far back as 1867 to prove that the . firm has won. and enjoyed the confii donee of the public over a very long period of time. The Wanganui branch ni rhe Avenue to-day is a much more pretentious affair than that in which the firm opened here 55 years ago. The , present shop opposite Chavannes’ j Hotel, carries a very full stock of the I firm’s well known manufactures, as wed as leading lines from the world’s best makers. They have a splendid assortment oilmen’s black and tan boots I and black and tan shoes. A wide range of sporting shoes figures in the I offering, which should give satisfac- ' tion to tennis players and bowlers. ■ Hannah’s specialise in boys’ boots, | which have been specially constructed [to stand wear and tear. Ladies will i be delighted with the new stock of i court and lace shoes which have just come to hand. There is also a very ' wide range of most attractive English digger and greys at pre-war prices. There is a good selection of ladies’ boots and shoes, which is guaranteed to suit all possible tastes and purses. Hannah’s have not forgotten that there are young New Zealanders, and their display of kiddies’ shoes is a very fine one. A nice selection of slippers , should come in Opportunely for Christmas presents. Another line which will ,be welcomed is the ladies’ smart light walking shoes. In white goods Messrs. Hannah & Co are carrying larger and more varied stocks than usual; in fact, the stock at the present time is far heavier than hitherto experi--1 enced.

In children's a large selection of black and ; tan sapdals is comprising various ranges of sizes. There is also a good assortment of bathing shoes in childrens, ladies and gents, and at this period of the year, this particular line will be found indispensable.
