' Peace be to this house and all who dwell in ic' Such is the beautiful blessing which falls from the lips of the priest on entering the homes of his parishioners. Life is an arrow — therefore you must know What mark to aim at, how t > use the bow — Then draw it to the head and let it go. The giving away in charity is the most difficult in this world of ours, a^ man hankers after rich' s, and riches are acquired with the greatest possible difficulty. The many fiietids of Mr. Arthur M. Byrne, in Otago and the neighbouring provinces, will be pleased to know that he has commenced business at Queeu's Rooms, Crawford street, Dunedin. as manufacturers' agent and indent merchant. Mr. Byrne had been tor 10 years the iepr. sentative of Guthrie and Larnach, Limited, and the Dunedin Iron and Wooiware Company, in Utago, Southland, and Canterbury, after which he joined the firm of Walter Guthrie and Co., whom he represented until the Company went into liquidation. On severing his connection with the last firm Mr. Byrne proceeded to Europe, where he spent 12 months visiting England, Ireland, and Scotland, after an absence of 23 years. Whilst at Home he visited some of the leading manufacturers in Great Britain and freland, as well as many on the Continent, with whom he made 1 arrangements to be their sole agent in this, and the neighbouring Colony of Tasmania. It is Mr. Byrne's intention to visit the different business centres of New Zealand and Tasmania at regular intervals on behalf of the manufacturers he represents. He has been favoured with agencies for the well-known Irish distilling firmsof ' The Old Bush Mills Distillery Co., ' Duncan Alderdice and Co., Newry,' and -Henry Thompson and Co., Newry,' whose several blends have a world- wide reputation, and who have secured the highest awards at various international exhibitions. The last mentioned firm has the honour of being appointed purveyor by Royal Warrant to Her Majesty, H.R H. the Prince of Wales, and both Houses of Parliament. Mr. Byrne" also acts in Otago and Southland for Messrs. Johnson and Co., of Liverpool, who are export bottlers of ' Guinness' Extra Foreign Stout ' and Bass and Co.'s pale and light bitter beer.' Besides these Mr. Byrne also represents various British and Continental manufacturers and exporters of iron and hardware goods, oil. varnishes, wall papers, etc. His London offices are at iJ Fen Court, Fenchurch street. From Mr. Byrne's extensive business experience, and his knowledge of Colonial requirements, we feel confident that orders entrusted to him will give every satisfaction. — J*
