A Word to the Public ABOUT OJJ! BUSINESS POLICY. Sur immense Stocks. fSiiaranteeci Moderate Prices. CONDITIONS IN REGARD TO TRADE GENERALLY HAVE REACHED SUCH AN ABNORMAL PITCH THAT WE CONSIDER A SHORT STATEMENT OF FACT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS BUSINESS WILL NOT BE OUT OF PLACE AT THIS JUNCTURE, AT THE PRESENT MOMENT WE HAVE ON OUR SHELVES CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN £30,000 WORTH OF MERCHANDISE. ALL OUR STOCKS WERE BOUGHT A CONSIDERABLE TIME AGO, WHEN CONDITIONS WERE MUCH MORE FAVORABLE THAN THEY ARE TO-DAY. MANY OF THE LEADING LINES WE HAVE IN STOCK ARE NOW QUITE UNPROCURABLE ELSEWHERE. OF COURSE THIS POLICY MEANT THAT A LARGE SUM OF MONEY HAS BEEN LYING IDLE FOR A LONG TIME AND SUCH A COURSE WAS ONLY POSSIBLE IN A BUSINESS LIKE OURS WHERE A LARGE AMOUNT OF CAPITAL WAS AVAILABLE TO INVEST IN GOODS. OUR POSITION IN THIS RESPECT IS UNIQUE IN GISBORNE. WE HAVE NEVER YET AND NEVER WILL SACRIFICE THE QUALITY OF OUR GOODS IN ORDER TO ADVERTISE LOW PRICES. OUR NAME STANDS FOR RELIABILITY, AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS COURSE HAS REWARDED US THROUGH MANY YEARS OF STEADILY INCREASING BUSINESS. WE KEEP THE LOW PRICED GOODS THAT ARE AVAILABLE AT ALL STORES, BUT OUR POLICY HAS BEEN SELL THE BEST IT PAYS BOTH BUYER AND SELLER IN THE END. WE SAY UNHESITATINGLY THAT QUALITY FOR QUALITY OUR PRICES CANNOT BE MATCHED. A COMPARISON OF VALUES WILL PROVE THIS To YOUR SATISFACTION. WE INVITE YOUR INSPECTION AT ANY TIME. YOU'LL NOT BE PRESSED TO BUY. iir M The House of Quality.
