CASH OR CREDIT

OLD-ESTABLISHED FURNISHING BUSINESS DAVENPORTS. KARANGAHAPE . ROAD One of Auckland’s oldest established and most reliable furnishing houses is that of Messrs. Davenports. Ltd., in Karangahape Road, opposite Bank of New Zealand. Whether the elderly couple with grandchildren or the young folk just about to marry, all home makers can visit this establishment with satisfaction, be their purchase a small curtain or a door mat or something more pretentious—a Chesterfield suite or a big double bed and wardrobe to match. This firm’s reputation has been built up through many years, during which customers with both large and small purses have been suited in all their varied tastes. A great deal of the furniture sold is made in Auckland of New Zealand materials, and all that comes from overseas is imported direct by Messrs. Davenports. Reasonable prices in all things are thus assured. The Individual Studied

The customer with cash will find that he or she is given every attention and can furnish as well here as anywhere, while those who prefer to pay only a deposit are given every facility for so doing, according to individual requirements. Originally built up or. a cash basis, and still having numerous customers on this side, the business has fallen into line with most others in the matter of credit, but there artno hard and fast rules, and a confidential chat with the manager will find out what is most suited in each person’s case. Made to Order Everything in house furnishing. This includes a lot, but Davenport's are equal to any call from ready-made suites to specially designed and built-to-order work in the style of any period, Jacobean, Georgian, or modern. Bare necessities and sublime comforts can be supplied; the big armchair for the fireside and the sunblind for the window. Winter is approaching again and it is well for householders to take stock of their homes. Furniture will require overhauling, rugs and carpets may need to be replaced, and the window's rehung with now curtains. And where is the woman who is not most insistent that her window's shall appear spick and span as seen from both the street and the closer confines oljl-the room? 3
