AN OPEN INVITATION

MOST UP-TO-DATE BUILDING To go and see some new thing. This is the natural curiosity of most people, and for once there is an opportunity to gratify it. An Auckland firm has built a most up-to-date building for their business, which is not equalled throughout the whole of Australia or New Zealand, and, in fact, ranks with the premises of some of the greatest firms in. England and America. Such is the proud record of the house of Lewis Eady, Ltd., who have: recently moved into their new premises, and who invite the public of. Auckland to come and see them. The new premises are right in the centre of the busiest part of Queen Street (next door to John Court, Ltd.) and is a remarkable, handsome and complete building. Through beautiful plate-glass shop fronts the visitor is led into a magnificent hall, furnished in polished woods, and leadlights, the centre being dominatted by a handsome double-flight stairway with solid bronze ornamentations. In this hall is sold pretty well everything musical, the theatre box office is on the left, the radio department on the right, and in the background are the specially constructed audition rooms for gramophones. To say that the furnishings are sumptuous is it convey an inadequate idea. tl is not too much to say that such a sales hall, with its enormous variety and stocks, is a decided acquiistion to the city of Auckland. To see it is a privilege Aucklanders should not miss. Every department in the establish*ment has now more than three times the accommodation aavilable in the old premises. For many years the house of Lewis Eady, Ltd., has been proud of its motto: “Everything Musical.” To-day the slogan is as truly realised as ever in the past.
