The senior partner is a native of London, where he served his time with Mr. J. H. Chane, of Fitzroy Square, and was in business for seven years in that line. He arrived in Canterbury in 1870, and at once established himself in business. Messrs Fisher and Son are direct importers of mouldings, pictures, and artists' colours, and maintain a large and wellassorted stock of the most modern materials in all branches, and also make a specialty of buying and selling artists' pictures on commission. There is a fine show-room, in which, as well as in the handsome plateglass shop windows, are displayed many productions by local artists. The premises save a total floor space of nearly 1300 square feet.
