Welcome to the kingdom )f the happy China-man


J U S T a st ep from Clitheroe’s bustling Moor Lane is a’’glittering gold and silver world where a happy China-man waits to show you round his kingdom.


He is oriental in name only,


however. For Mr Christopher "Lee Ming" — manager of the china, jewellery, and gift


store .Coneron and Leeming — has the truly elegant appearance of an Englishman.

'yy- .t-X: i. * Mr Leeming’s rather orien­


tal-sounding name gave him the idea of portraying himself as the happy China-mari, advertising his friendly dis­ position and wares at the


same time. His “kingdom” is the shop’s


roomy premises which have just been extended for the second time in five years. Now, even more colourful


gifts of stainless steel, jewel­ lery and clocks adorn the walls of No 17 Moor Lane, and the room next door.


r MR LEEMING They are the public testa­


ment to the success of p strictly family business which has operated in the town for


almost a century. ; The two rooms have been


attractively linked by arches and the extensions have given the place a pleasant. “walk round without obligation” air. During that walk you are


likely to stumble on many var­ ied items of interest which one would not normally associate with a comparatively small


the most familiar, yet most accurate, description.

china, bowls, plates and painted figures meet the eye, as one wanders through the arches. A wide selection of larger plates hangs above the shelves. -Each one illustrates a full dinner service which is stored in the cavernous rooms below.


MRS MARY LEEMING Cut-glass fruit bowls, glas­


ses and decanters are also on display and some coloured ani­ mal figures.


There are so many attrac-.


tive things on display that it is easy to lose track of time and spend long periods just gazing


round. , If that’s all you want to do


then, the shop staff will not bother you. They go quietly and efficiently. about their business — none of the prove­ rbial bulls in this china shop!


But if it’s advice you want,


then Mr Leeming will be only ' too pleased to help.-It is the kind of attitude which epitom­ ises a small family business with personalised friendly


service. “We have always' been a


family concern,” says Mr Leeming.,“I,hope we provide


a’ more hbmely and warmer sort of service than the big


stores. . “Each customer deserves to be treated as an individual” — and if Confucius didn’t say that, he should have done!

Looking to the future


CONERON AND LEEMING are really looking a long way ahead by trying to build up a stock of good quality binocu­ lars, including some of the prestige Carl Zeiss monels. The shop has always stocked a few pjiirs but Mr Lecmmg rs


eager to give customers a wider range of quality glasscstnan ever before.

specialities of the house is a rolled-gold Nepro alarm clock, measuring just lin. square.


D e sp ite its size — Mr


Leeming believes it is one of . the smallest makes of alarm clock in the world — the bell gives a lusty jangle guaran- te e d to wake even the I heaviest'sleeper.


I One advantage of the exten- I sions is that Mr Leeming can , now set up a display of pearls i1 to do justice to his large stock.


J As discerning ladies will • know, it is the cultured pearls \ which are the most expensive ; and they are attractively set i out in an alcove at the side of


; * the jewellery section. One piece of china stands


put in the Coneron and Leem­ ing collection for its sheer


beauty. . It is a piece of free-flowing


china en t i t led “Grant’s Gazelle,” which will set you


back £400. Mr Leeming reckons that
