MESSRS. CRUICKSHANK, MILLER AND CO., LTD.

AUCKLAND’S LEADING HARDWARE MERCHANTS. The firm of Messrs. Cruickshank, Miller and Co., Ltd., hardware, wholesale and retail ironmongers. Queen and Lome Streets, Auckland, is one of the oldest established businesses in the city. The progress of the firm has made reconstruction necessary, and a visit paid to the retail department, Queen Street, cannot fail to result in those who avail themselves of this opportunity being much impressed with the up-to-date methods of the firm, and the quality and utility of the stocks displayed. Cruickshank, Miller and Co., Ltd., is a household word among builders and heads of families, for the stocks the firm carry are without exception the finest in Auckland. Builders’ and household requisites of every description are to be obtained there, and those of our readers who contemplate setting up housekeeping would be well advised to purchase their requirements from this old-established and progressive firm of hardware merchants. The prices are exceedingly reasonable, while the selection of ironmongery is unsurpassed in the Dominion. A special feature of this firm’s business and one that is playing a very important part in the development of the establishment is the sporting goods department. Members of hockey, tennis, croquet, golf and football clubs should certainly pay a visit to Messrs. Cruickshank, Miller and Co.. Ltd., with the object of inspecting one of the finest stocks of athletic requisites to be seen in the Dominion. The firm have just recently landed a large shipment of golf clubs, golf balls, footballs, hockey sticks, tennis racquets, etc., which they are now offering at exceedingly low rates. Bowlers also will be interested to know that the

firm hold large stocks of bowls of all makes. Mr. James Miller, one of the directors of the firm, is well known as a bowler, formerly occupying the position of president of the Mt. Eden Bowling Club. Mr. Miller’s experience as a bowler should be a strong recommendation to bowlers that the greatest discrimination has been shown in regard to the selection of bowls stocked. A very fine building has recently been erected for Messrs. Cruickshank, Miller and Co., Ltd., in Lome Street, next to the Y.M.C.A. This department is devoted to the wholesale ironmongery and builders’ requisites. A splendid display is made in the show rooms, and a very fine range of builders’ supplies, farming implements, ploughs, etc., is displayed. The firm also cater lairgel y for cattle and dairy supplies, and farmers who intend visiting Auckland during conference week would do well to pay a visit to this progressive firm.
