BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.

A VALUABLE AND COMPREHENSIVE STOCK. While it is true that Masterton has many commercial enterprises which are in every way commensurate with its imnortance as a leading inland town ah examination of the many businesses here will disclose no establishment more entitled toj favourable recognition at the hands of residents of this district than that of Mr Frank Dupre, watchmaker, manufacturing jeweller and engraver, situated opposite the Post Office, and in the heart of Queen street. This important manufacturing and importing concern has been established some eleven years, and it has a history of successful operation from the opening date, and a substantially inceasing annual turnover. Sterling enterprise, probity and good management have been the potent factors in the success of this establishment. In this age of moderan exactness it is necessary, in order to properly serve the public, to keep stocks nght up-to-date, and in this respect Mr Dupre has invariably anticipated the requirements of his patrons, who can be numbered by the hundreds. The stock that has been secured for the coming Christmas and New Year- trade has been selected with great care, and a display of an especially attractive and comprehensive character is made just now that would reflect credit upon the leading jewellery establishments in the metropolitan cities of the Dominion. Whatever is worth having in a jewellery store is there, and the appointments are in harmony with the exquisite and meritorious stock. Holiday and birthday presents, Christmas presents, wedding gifts, articles of personal wear or household adornment, toilet ware, ladies' and gent s gold watches, uold rings, with wonderful combinations of gems, are represented in endless varieties. Ladiea will be particularly interested in an attractive arrangement of handbags -diid purses, all in the best of leathers and latest colours—a showing pleasing alika to Hie tye, taste and purse. By. close attention to mail orders, Mr Dupre has succeeded in building up a gcod connection in county dis ' ticts. Residents in outlying parts who cannot afford time to pay a personal visit to his establishment can feel safe in leaving the choice of their goods to Mr. Dupre, who will give his personal attention to each and every order, and promptly despatch same by return mail.
