Mr Lewers' Shop Improvements

When we -observe business men making large additions to their prem~.ises for the exhibition , and storage pi their wares, and for the comfor. andi accommodation of their clients and : customers, we are witnessing what is i one of the best evidences of general ■■- prosperity. In this connection we :. may- instance the alterations and ' additions made by Mr Lewers to his _ Warehouse and shop which now has a " ; frontage of 60- feet to Kimboiton road. : Tho:principala:bom : is. ; the shop which now- runs from the street back to a depth of 60 feet to the rear of tho building, from whence the additional lights give a cheerful and pleasant ■ aspect to the numerous and attractive 1 : which crowd the shelves, and the centre counters, which are . al>o covered^iwith ; well and: tasefully displayed, drapery - and . millinery goods. On; the right pn entering the shop, there is a well lighted and capacious ; ahbw : Topm for ladies, where all the -• newest and most elegant articles for female adornment are exhibited in ix ' most i charrning. manner. This room ' is not quite finished, but will be so injthe .course of a- few, days. A passage atfhe tiack of the show room leads into the storeroom, where space has been.., provided .for the reception of „ heavy goods in the shape of flour, sugar, groceries, j&e., &c. In the general store we_.noticed a collection of gqodsjamong, which may be ■ found every: possible article that could be . required by. the farmer, the builder, or tiie ordinary settler.
