This Department will be under the personal care and management of our Mr Edward Mitts, whose taste and judgment as a buyer and whose pleasing ability as a seller are widely known throughout the whole of Otago and Southland. A word of special notice is desired as to this Department. Wc have long felt that it has not been stocked with a sufficiently select class of goods, and we determined that a prominent feature in the reorganising of our Establishment should be the proper overhaul of this Department. This has accordingly been done by cur Mr Mills, and we now confidently commend it to the notice of the gentlemen of the city. Everything that is new in Hats, Shirts, Oxford. Regatta, and other Scarves, Handkerchiefs Collars, and Gentlemen’s Hosiery is to be had here, and at lowest prices. The completeness of the selection, and the thoroughness with which this Department will he conducted, is a decidedly new and pleasing feature in our business. The system upon which we intend pushing our trade deserves especial notice. The success which has hitherto attended our Periodical Cash Sales lias been a matter of note and of general comment, and lias been attributable to the energy and the judgment in purchasing ainl the careful and pleasing management of Mr James Mollison. We therefore intend, now, under his especial direction, aided by that of Mr Mills, to carry out a system of trade as nearly analogous as can be to the business transacted witli so much success by our Cash Sales. In effectjwe wish to work up to and into a Cash Trade, and, in order to make it acceptable to our Customer -, we shall strain every nerve in the purchase o! gooCs of suitable qua'ity and style, and in placing them before our customers in such a maimer, and with such courtesy and civility, as shall merit their approval. Our customers shall thin be enabled to retain to themselves, in the Lowness of the Price of our Goods, the Extra Profits which would otherwise go to meet the hook-debt losses in a credit system. We feel assured that our system now inaugurated will meet the approval of our patrons, and that the consideration which we shall show to all classes of customers in every department, coupled with the Moderate Prices and the Sterling Value and High-class Quality of our Stock, kept ever fresh, will merit for us the premier place and name as the GEOhGB STREET DRAPERY WAREHOUSE. We have been justly proud of the lead which we have taken in the past through being favored with a highly-prized class of custom by patrons from all parts of the City and province, and that lead we are determined we shall maintain. OUR ESTABLISHMENT SHALL BE KNOWN’ 1011 SELECT STOCK, MODERATE PRICES, COURTEOUS AND UNREMITTING ATTENTION. To enable us to carry out the system of trade which we have now commenced, we have thoroughly nnovated our extensive premises; we have delayed our purchases until the Autumn and Winter Season’s Goods were all to hand ; we have made personal inspection of every class of goods, and secured those best •suited to the tastes of our customers. Everything is new, fresh, and of Latest Style and Superior Quality, and the arrangements for accommodation and solving of a LARGE AND EVER-INCREASING CONNECTION OF CUSTOMERS are of the very best and most attractive kind. We are, therefore, enabled, confidently and hopefully, to announce the opening day of the season, MONDAY, 13th FEBRUARY, On which day we will welcome our former customers and the general public to inspect our Stock and secure the SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS offered by purchasing early. There are Novelties in every department, and eacli is presided over and attended to in such a manner as will ensure satisfaction.
