PUBLIC NOTICES. HIRE-SYSTEM—HIRE-PURCHASE OP MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. ■JL/TESSRS CHARLES BEGG AND 00., ' do not hesitate to make the extraordinary claim for their Hire System that it is V ASTLY SUPERIOR to all others, both as regards Value and the easy Repayments, which are calculated on a Lower Interest Basis than any other house. HIRE-SYSTEM-HIRB-PUROHASE or MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. We readily recognise the ad vantages offered by our rivals, because we were the first to introduce the Hire System into New Zealand on exactly similar lines, and, therefore, it is but common fairness and justice that we should reap the benefits of our labor and expenditure, HIRE—SYSTEM—HIRE—PURCHASE or MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. When anything stands the tost of time among a discriminating people it is pretty sure evidence of real worth and merit, and with 12 years’ experience and administration of the Hire System to guide us, we still justly claim to lead. HIRE—SYSTEM—HIRE—PURCH ASB OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. That wo perform all we claim Is conclusively proved by the fact that those who regard us with the greatest favor are those who have dealt with us the longest. Our customers are our references, HIRE—SYSTEM—HIRE—PURCHASE OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. We shall be glad if buyers, when comparing our prices with those of other houses, will, at the same time, also carefully compare the goods, in which case they will find that we give more solid value for the prices we receive than can be obtained elsewhere. Pianos, such as we absolutely reject, can be, and are sold at much lower prices than cur importations; but these are no test of value, and lead to ultimate vexation and annoyance long before the apparently eaiy payments have run out, HIRE—SYSTEM—HIRE-PURCHASE OP MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Die continued success and increasing popularity that has marked each alteration in our Hire System stamps it indelibly as the Safest and Cheapest Method of Purchasing (without the slightest publicity) Pianos, Harmoniums, and Organs, etc , etc., on that basis, HIRE-SYSTEM—HIRE-PURCHASE or MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.

MESSRS CHARLES BBQG AND 00. Abstain from entering into competition with importers of inferior Pianos, many of which flood the market at times, and which may bo claased with cheap trash. Our motto is: “Nulli Sccundus ” (“Second to none”), and we import Pianos and other Musical Instruments of good quality at a comparatively low price. We shall limit ourselves to a variety of English and German Pianos of bona fide manufacture, and shall endeavor, through carefulness as to the retention of their high standard quality, to retain that confidence end esteem which our past career and established reputation has already earned for us at the bands of our patrons. HIRE—SYSTEM—HIRE—PURCHASE or MILITARY BAND INSTRUMENTS. The time is not far distant when Bandsmen will more clearly see the necessity of purchasing only the best grade of Instruments. To be successful, a Band should be well equipped, and each Instrument should be in perfect tune, It is not requisite that the Instruments should be showy (a plain, brass instrument of good quality is worth hundreds of some of the miserable trash, which is often nickelplated), but a few more pounds spent at time of purchase will save lots of them after a short time. HIGHEST—GRADE—OF—EXCELLENCE AND LOWEST PRICES. REPAIRING AND TUNING DEPARTMENT. ■ - . Old Pianos, American Organs, Harmoniums, Violins, Accordions, and Wooden and Brass Instruments of every description Repaired and Tuned by men having a thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of the work Charges moderate, and satisfaction guaranteed.
