Stationers.

Penny, Edward Henry, Bookseller and General Stationer, Stationers' Hall, Market Street North, Blenheim. This business was established in the year 1880, was bought by its present owner in 1893, and is now (1905) one of the most popular and extensive businesses of its kind in the province. The premises have a fine frontage to Market Street, with two large plate-glass windows, and are fitted throughout with every convenience for the arrangement and display of a large and well selected stock. A great variety of books of all kinds, popular periodicals in the latest editions, newspapers from all parts of the colony and abroad, stationery, and kindred requisites in great variety, together with music, musical instruments, and other subsidiary lines, are always kept in stock; and for quality and price Stationers' Hall compares favourably with the largest establishments in the main centres of the colony. Mr. Penny gives the closest personal attention to the interests of his customers. He is further referred to as Mayor of Blenheim.
