SPRING ATTRACTIONS At the threshold of a new season, a few words as to Strange's great emporium, and our methods of doing business, seem appropriate. Some 45 years ago this business made its very humble beginning—to-day it is the largest establishment of its kind in New Zealand, and still growing. Part of this growth, of course, is to be traced to the increase in. population, but by far the greater part is due to the sterling values we offer at all times. To offer only merchandise of high quality, to make the prices as low as possible, and in every way to give the public good service—these have ever been our aims— these are the foundations of our business. Now at the opening of this Spring Season, we invite you to look over our great stocks. In every department we offer you choice of the best goods the markets of the world afford. Space allows of the mention of only two departments, but all the others are equally attractive. CHARMING I STUNNING SPRING HATS.
