Easy Terms can be arranged to suit No Firm in the Colony can supply better Furniture. We guarantee every ArticleJUST ONE WORD ■—lt is well known that prejud ce dies hard, well we know it. Only on Thursday one of Dunedin’s leading men told us that quoting our price for Blaukets to his wife, she pooh-poohed the idea of anything good coming from our Store, but having faith in us he insisted on , seeing what we ciuld do He bought the Blankets. We are simply going through the ‘same trouble which every advertising firm has experienced at the start, but little by little the barriers of prejudice are breaking down, and every day the number of our supporters increases. We keep as good articles as any firm in Dunedin, but we al o cater for all purses. We can sell the struggling worker a good Dress Material for 2|d yard, whilst we cater for • the richer homes with Cashmere Serge at 4/9, both pf these being worth fully double the money But with one class of people we shall never be popular, and we owe it to ourselves to explain why. Every dav wo are compelled to refuse these people credit, and the result is that nothing they can say is bad enough for ua • whenever our name is mentioned they sneer at us and ridicule the very idea of us keeping anythin* They would deal with us quick enough if we would give them credit. Don’t forget this and don t forget either that in spite of all opposition our trade is increasing by leaps and bounds. ’ ' Read Messrs. BARR, LEARY & CO.'S Report s Crawford Street,, Dunedin, 9th August, 1897. We hereby certify that we have examined the books relating to the Drapery business of Messrs, A. Lorib & Co., and find that the cash takings in that Department for the year 1897 (January to July inclusive) exceed by over 60 per cent, the takings for the same period in 1896. ■ BARR, LEARY & CO. This Report should be sufficient to convince everyone that we are the coming firm We treat the oublic fairly, and they believe in us. Ask yourself the question. Are you honest to yourself if you pay 25/- elsewhere for 1 thing which you can buy from us for 20/- 1 Do you not owe to yourself the duty of saving all you possibly can 1 Of course we quite freely admit that you won’t get the amount of flunkeyism at our Stores that you may be accustomed to. We don’t cut patterns, we don’t send goods on approval, and we don’t want to waste time over customers who only want to look, but civility and all reasonable attention you’ll get, as our assistants have their hearts in their work and try to make our customers our friends. Give us a trial and you will never leave US. SPEClAL.— Encouraged by the great success which has hitherto attended us we are about to greatly enlarge premises ; as this will make a great mess with bricklayers and carpenters, we Will sacrifice half OUr Stock to make room for the workmen. Plans and Specifications will be ready in a few da vs- wbnn fha complete our Stores will be among the finest in the Colony. ’
