ADVICE TO LADIES. The Ladies of Auckland are now casting about i for their new SPRING AND SUMMER DRESSES. The two considerations that weigh of most importance may be said to be—Pick and Price. I A word of timely advice, therefore, may not be ■ out of place. Look around well before buying. Dozens of Ladies select at first sight only to disappoint themselves by seeing an article a few days after that would be much preferred and often at a lower figure. For instance, a lady remarked only a couple of days since, " Did you see that charming and* magnificent lot of prints, at Abbott's in Newton ? I feel quite vexed that I have bought." These were the actual words; uttered, and we fear will he the sentiments of not afew, as they review the stock now showing at-the above-named's establishment. In refer- ■ ence to which R. H. ABBOTT & CO. wish to say that they have searched the markets inevery direction to enable them to place before their patrons a choice, profuse, and unwearying* variety of Prints, Hats, Bonnets, and, Summer Goods in general, all at as reasonable a figure as it is possible for them to be got for money. We have now over 1,000 designs in new Prints,' and our Stock will he replenished by Novelties] by each steamer. We further beg to inform^ our well-wishers that, notwithstanding theundenied badness of the times, our trade shows ani increase of from 50 to 70 per cent, month by! month upon last year's trade. This is a great] proof to us of public encouragement of our endeavours to place before the public an A "EXCELIENT VARIETY OF GOODS r at the Lowest Obtainable Figure for Cash, ani; encourages us to still further efforts on behalf ot our patrons. It has never been a part of our policy to deceive the public in the slightest degree by large advertisements announcing bogus reductions, etc. If we announce a CheaD Line, our customers can hear ua out that it lufi never been over-described. We hope tW_T season to open out from time to time Lines as Astonishing as Heretofore, of which announoament will be given.
