WHAT TO SEE AT THE EXHIBITION

SOME OF THE STANDS.

(By Arrangement.)

A very attractive stand is 817, arranged by the British Industries Co., of Australasia, who control several okl-established English agencies. Most prominent of those is an artistic display of 1917 calendars, manufactured by the well-known firm of E.yro and Spottiswoode, Ltd., Loudon, who are recognised to be one of the loading art printers in the world. This firm aro printers of the "Sphere" and other well-known publications. A good portion ol' tho stand is taken up to display the "Nucard," which consists of a. neat, compact case, made in finest quality real Morocco leather, in various colours. . This case is fitted with a patent clip or holder, and business or private visiting cards are fitted in book form. It is needed in private life as well as being an addition to the, business equipment, as every card can bo used, and nono need be thrown away on account of being soiled. Som«i 30,000 wsw, together with nv« 000,000 refills, have already beeu sold

in Australasia, which fact speaks for itself.

The old-established firm of Petty and Sons (Leeds), Ltd., are represented b.y the same company, and their two colour "Whitehall" pheck books and higholass posters arc well worthy ol inspection. Samples of hand-beaten pewter, copper, and gilt photo, frames," manufactured b.y Matthias, Watts and Co., Ltd., of Birmingham, are tastefully displayed, and should find public favour; likewise a collection of ebony frames, faithfully reproduced from the old English miniature styles, will bo admired. A now patent dining table, which is called the "Eclipse," is also exhibited at the same stall. It is considered in England to be the last word in diners, and a great improvement on the old stylo of screen table. The whole operation to fit two extra loaves will take only 15 seconds, and interested firms will be able to see the table demonstrated.
