Tho variety and excellence of the Christchurch" Meat Company's exhibit of meat and by-products has already been noted. One of. the product's which is given a prominent place in tho display is the C.M.C. exhibit of meat packed in porcelain jars. The company distributed a quantity of sample jars free to visitors to the Exhibition, and tho samples have met with high encomiums. Tho company states that it is prepared under special hygienic conditions and under tho supervision of a highly qualified chemist working on scientific lines, and is also mndo i'rom the primest of meat killed under inspection and passed by a New Zra'.oiid Government veterinarian officer. This is a guarantee for purity and quality, apart from the fact that the C.M.C. Extract shows from analysis that it contains 50 per cent, more nourishment than tho imported article, while it is sold for half the cost. The C.M.C. Extract is specially recommended by the medical faculty for invalids, and is alike invaluable for culinary purposes and J'or its stimulating and appetising qualities in the form (if boot ten. The extract is put up in altraellvo white porcelain jars, and h;\s a large solo over the Dominion and Australian Slates.

It consists of nn exquisite variety of Australasian shells that have been worked into artistic designs by tho exhibitor, consisting of photo frames, handkerchief boxes, ami ornaments of manv kinds.
