INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION CHRISTCHURCH.

[advertisement.] Those that wish to be represented at the Intercolonial Exhibition to be held in Christchurcli in March next, should inform us of their intentions. We have been connected with all the Intercolonial Exhibitions held in the Colonies. At the late Adelaide Exhibition we represented 00 exhibitors, for which we received 10 gold medals, 4 first and 1 second awards 3 of which were New Zealand firms (I)' Strang and J. T. Martin, Invercargill, and T. Sevan, Wellington.) Our plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their business, fix the exhibits in their space attend to the judging of exhibits, and anything necessary while the Exhibition remains open ; at the close re-pack and send their exhibits back, or sell them or duplicates thereof, if required. It is very inconvenient for visitors to come up to the Exhibition and fix their exhibits, which amount to an expense besides the loss of time which they must necessarily expend on them. Then again the exhibitors have a benefit—they have no trouble of getting space, they let us know how much is required and we get it for them, as we have a large amount of space granted to us. We fix up the exhibits oil a better space than if they applied themselves. Our terms iire moderate. We specially caution the public against givin" their goods in charge to so-called Exhibit tion Agents, who go the rounds of the Exhibitions, and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties.
