Matson & Co.s CANTERBURY WOOL STORES, "THE WOOL HOUSE, tot over Twenty Years, hae pereistentlj advocated the DISPOSAL OF THE NEW ZEALAND CLIP BY AUCTION Vi 'THE "LOCAL MARKET," • Thus Enabling the Grower to find a "CASE SETTLEMENT " Within the Colony I*or blfl years labor, care, and anxiety. * THE WOOLGROWERS, MERCHANTS AND THE TRADE. Gentlemen,—At.Uie approach of anor.her woo take this opportunity of again-ad dressing you, and, upon this occasion. :o con gratulate you upon die undoubtea success ol fast year's sales in our local market, and U thank those whoaided and assisted iv about such an unqualified success as attendee the sales of 1885-1887. It must indeed ke c cheerful consolation to every farmer to Kna« that at last New Zealand is >st becoming one rf tne most important, and shortly wU be one of the r "CHIEF EMPORIUMS" ■ ES to the past) becoming a shipper, exporter, { m merchaSt, Lnd fulflUing his destiny, by enabling him to "HANDLE THE CASH ON THE SPOT," and thus know his success or failure for his year's labor. Our advocacy is, and has always been the accumulating of LARGE CATALOGUES OE WOOL," thereby enticing buyers from all parts of the world, through agents or otherwise, for we Btillhold to the belief, "THAT WHERE THE CARCASE IS, SO SURELY THE EAGLE WILL SHORTLY QUAMBY. Wβ have no intention to weary our friends with along descriptions the facilities at our disposal for their especial benoilt, suflice it to eaythati the same accommodation and specialities pertaining to our Wool business of last eeason, -which our friends were good enough to appreciate by entries in catalogues of greater dimensions than upon any preceding occasion, are at your disposal this season. Without vanity, we re-echo the oft-repeated sentiment of the trade, "No question aboutiMhesoare far and away the most suitable and best lighted Wool Rooms in Canterbury." Well, gentlemen, ae-With the Wool Rooms, so with the system adopted in the gotup of the Sales. We make a role to spare no trouble in seeing that each bag i». or bale hae its fait position, and that every opportunity for inspection and valuation us atrerded. Aβ resident Brokers and Salesmen ol lone standing, in fact one of the first firms whe established Wool Sales in Canterbury, we claim cas our duty to our clients and the trade generally to most earnestly counsel them upon no consideration to repeat the persistent errors of the past in foolishly packinfl •under one cover" several kinds of wool Such as bale number so-and-so contains 80-and-so, or, as in many instances, no advice as to peculiarity of contents, and when subsequently examined by buyer the lot is rejected uuder the "safety valve" of clause re false packing. Wool bales and bags are cheap enough, surely. Then why not expend an extra penny and save pounds J These remarks refer equally to daggings and coarse breechings. No article of produce is so sonsit've to the '■" market touch "as wool. The wool:, ayer Iβ the most artistic and wary of purchasers: he Iβ at once the most confidential or suspicious creature in trade, and rightly so to. Noted brands •will always command the resp jet of the woel-biiyer, but in case of stray, ill-got up lines. Wherein at times are to he found all sorts and -conditions of fleeces, now and then dagginga, a cheep-skin or two, &c., these suffer mercilessly, in the hands of the trade. Whereas, had the consignment been carefully "gone over" in • 'owner's shed," and placed in aanarate parcels, each kind el wool by itseif. never mind how email a bulk, the seller would be a very large gainer. In no other calling is," negligence or carelessness " so " severely puniahecf" as in the case of wool; perhaps the infliction is notat the time perceptible, but the unwary producer soon finds nis pocket lighter than that of his more discreet neighbour. Query—Why throw away money when it can be so easily saved! With regard to charges, these arc reduced to the lowest, and are upon the same scale as other houses. .No charge is made for cartagr from rail to our well lighted stores. This iaa .great.boon, which we, with pleasure,«ive to onrolieira. , Viewing the outlook of the Wool Market we can, with every confidence, advise our friends and the public generally to tvy the Local Market this season before rasMy sending forward by sea. Habit is, like orJum eating, very bard to overcome, but in wool producing the producer' should have: " Vko shots for hi' money.' There is no neoessify to place '~ etore the whole clip. Send sample bales of or .XI class, which system w»s inti-odaced by a r ,7« valued client some few years since, wmilated by many both ol *be Plair ; ££ Pmtoula, and has invariably resulted. .* f e fi£ lexge Catalogues, frr, m ' che -rariou BrplcOT.dmi« .busing Cauter" th. &^»^ our worthy |^ ch 8 ™, -' n0 fr?«P ie P t Vermes' HoteJ pne ? wMua lbotane Woolß/joms.

" Collar every dollar" i an oM but very true saying. Values in woe ate made or marred by care or carelessness We ask the pardon of some growers for thus as it were, again "rubbing it. in," but havini tbe experience of ears as salesmen and our position allowing us to view both side Of the question, we take tho liberty in gi-oweß Interests, as well as in the general interests ■ o the trade, to press upon the owners of wool especially the two to twenty bale lots, the nc ceesicy to Insist upon careful sorting. "No thin; is more attractive to the eye of an expert thai a nice, even, well-classed line o£ wool, be i either merino, half bred, or crossbred." Obtaii the attraction and you secure the price.
