The premises; which are a portion of the handsome ferroconcrete block erected by Mr. J. N. -.Williams,- were formerly l , occupied by i|he Bank of New Zealand:- Mr. Jaeger made-his business, beginning in Hastings in a very, small way, but the fine premises which, he now occupies'are m !i great measure a .tribute to the mdus- . trioua ■ energy, and. general capabilities • which . lie has displayed: in cdnnection ,with,, his enterprise.: • Mr. j Jaeger is- a' very careful: student of the passing' fashions. His system of catting ladies' fjarments, for- instance, is: said to bo identical -with that -; which: this - year, won the Grand Prix: in Paris in a competition bpen to :-the'. world.; The : F,ults of this system are shown m some admirable models now displayed in the windows of Mr. Jaeger's -business pre•misos. Then again, j his - breeches system is also, identical.with that used today/by the - highest-paid : - American breeches cutter, whoso salary-is stated to bo something, approaohing that; of a. New.
