Drapery. JJUOH Eespectfully announce the Opening of THEIR NEW SEASON’S GOODS, which for elegance and usefulness, together with moderate prices, surpass anything they have previously shown. : The Stock is ample, and comprises— LADIES’ NEW SILK JACKETS LADIES’ FARCY CLOTH JACKETS NEW BONNETS AND HATS NEW MILLINERY NEW FEATHERS NEW FLOWERS NEW RIBBONS NEW PARASOLS NEW SILKS NEW DRESS MATERIALS &,c., &c., &c Inspection invited. JJUGH c°PRINCES STREET. ACCORDING well with a system which for several years I uniformly adopted in the Australian Colonies, proving eminently successful, greatly to the advantage of Purchasers, and answering] the view of the Seller, I purpose offering the Residue o£ my present opened Stock at prices considerably reduced, shewing discounts varying from per cent, to 65 per cent. WHEN Men in Business calculate with that nicety and certainty the expense at which they can carry out their arrangements, and command facilities in their transactions, as well as attain certain objects by a Moderate Outlay, they are naturally induced to regard the means as a part of the necessary success, and adopt them accordingly. THE offering of Goods quite New, Modern in Style, and combined improvements of manufacture, all of which have been so recently imported at Reduced Prices, notwithstanding the value at which they have been sold heretofore, and the marked contrast with Colonial Prices ruling in Dunedin, is a method of business which colonial merchants may possibly won der at, but a man who buys [his Goods well, and knows how to select them and pays for them in cash, has a perfect right to sell them at whatever price he may think proper, and therefore, in deference to the kind Patronage accorded me by the Ladies of Otago since landing in Dunedin, I have now resolved to make Reductions on Surplus Stock, the special object in view being to hold over no Stock that may be quitted or disposed of. rpHIS System of Business'now being tried as an experiment only, if successful, may be taken as an effort to infuse fresh vigor and more enterprise, into one of England’s most favored distant communities ; and English merchants may contemplate with pardonable pride and complacency the efforts made by British emigrants who go orth to make a home for themselves in a distant land -without forgetting their Mother Country; reproducing with necessary modifications the Institutions which flourish so eminently amongst those left behind, and approximating so closely to the manner of doing Business at Home.
