Those that with to be 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, and one second awards, three of which were New Zealand firms, (D‘. Strang, and J. T. Martin, Invercargill ; andT. Sevan, Wellington). Our plan is to represent the exhibitors, transact .their business, fix the exhibit in its space, attend to the judging of exhibits, and anything necessary while the Exhibition remains open.- • At the close repack and send their goods back, or sell them, or duplicates thereof if required. It is very inconvenient for exhibitors (o come up to the Exhibition and fix their exhibits, which amount to an expense, besides the loss of time which they must 'necessarily expend on them. Then again the exhibitors have a benefit, they have no ‘ trouble of getting space, They,let us knowhow much is required, we get it for them as we have a large amount granted to us. We fix &c , the exhibits on abetter 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 have been the rounds of all the Exhibitions, and-run exhibitors into debt and other difficulties.—Albert Manders and Co., British ‘ and' 1 Colonial Manufacturers’ Agent, Head Office—9l Little Collins street.
