NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, CHRISTCHURCH.

Those that wish to he represented at the International Exhibition to be held in Christchurch in March next should inform us of their intentions. We have been connected with all the International Exhibitions held in the colonies. At the late Adelaide Exhibition we represented 60 exhibitors, for which we received 10 gold medals, 49 first awards and one second—three of which were New Zealand firms (D. Strang and J. T. Martin, Invercargill, and T. Bevan, Wellington). Our plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact their business, fix the exhibits in their space, attend to the judging of exhibits, and anything necessary while the exhibition remains open; and at the close, repack and send exhibits back thereof, if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors to come to the exhibition to fix their exhibits, which amounts to expense, besides the loss of time which must necessarily be expended on them. Then again, the exhibitors have a benefit—they will have no troublein getting space; they simply let us know how much is required, and we get it for them ; as we have a large amount granted to us, we fix, &c., the exhibits on a better space than if they applied themselves. Our terms are moderate. We specially caution the public against giving their exhibits to so-called Exhibtion agents, who go the rounds of the Exhibition and run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties. On account of our not being able to give exhibitors the exact amount of our fee as it is impossible to do so until we know the size of exhibit, they may rely upon it being most reasonable. The exhibits should be addressed Albert S. Manders, Christchurch Exhibition, If exhibitors will kindly send a note stating how ranch space they require, no further trouble will be necessary.—Albert S. Manders, the British and Colonial Manufacturers’ agent, Head office, 91 Little Collinsstreet east, Melbourne; London, St, Paul’s Buildings; Adelaide, 67 King William street; Perth, W.A., 6, Town Hall. A Permanent Branch has been established in Hereford street, Christchurch ; all letters addressed to the above firm in Hereford street will receive prompt attention and circulars sent on inquiry.— FAdvt.l
