M TAe Wool House ” which, for over 20 Years, has persistently advocated the disposal of the New Zealand Clip by AUCTION IN THE “ LOCAL MARKET," Thus enabling the Grower to find a “CASH SETTLEMENT" WITHIN THE COLONY For his year’s labour, care, and anxiety. TO TUB WOOL-GEOWEBS. MERCHANTS, AND THE TEADE. Gentlemen, —At the approach of another wool season we take this opportunity of again addressing yon, and. upon this occasion, to congratulate you neon the undoubted success of last year's sales in our local market, and to thank those who aided and assisted in bringing abont such an unqualified success as attended the sales of XSB6-ISd7, It must indeed be a cheerful consolation to every farmer to know that at last New Zealand is fast becoming one of the most important, and shortly will be one of the "CHIEF EMPORIUMS ” for the sale of wools in the Australasias. Thus putting an end to the necessity of the producer loa in the past) becoming a shipper, exporter, or merchant, and fulfilling his destiny, by enabling him to ••handle the cash on the spot." and thus know his success or failure for his year’s labour. Our advocacy la, and baa always been, the accumulating of “Large catalogues of wool." thereby enticing buyers from all parts of the world, through agents or otherwise, for we stiU hold to the belief, "THAT WHERE THE OAEGASB IS. SO BUBBLY THE EAGLE WILL SHORTLY QUAMBY" We have no Intention to weary our friends with along desunptlonuf tne facilities at our disposal lor inoir eapecitu beuont, svunce it to say mat the same aucuuixuuauuun ana specialties pertaining to cur W uOl business of last season, win on our friends were gouu enough to appreciate by entries in catalogues oi greater dimensions man upon any preceding occasion, ore at your disposal this season, w unuut vanity, we re-echo the oft-repeated sentiment of tue trade, "X. o question about It, tnese are far and away the mod. ouuab.e and best lighted Wool Rooms in t-antet bitty." Weii, gentlemen, as with the Wool itooius, so with the system adopted in the get-up of sue dates. We mane a rule to spare no trouble lu seeing tun. each bag or bale has its fair posulou, and mat every opportunity for inopeoMou and valuation 19 afforded. As resident croners and salesmen of long standing, in fact one of the first firms wuo established Wool isaies la canterbury, We claim itas our duty to our clients and the trade generally to moat earnestly counsel tnem upon no consideration to repeat the persistent errors of tue past m looushiy packing *• under one cover" several hinds of wool, esuehas Dale number su-aud-so contains so-aud.no, or, us la many menaces, no adv ce as to peculiarity 01 contents, and. wneu ettosoquentiy examined by buyer the lot is rejected under tue “saicty valve" of clause re ia!oe peeking. VVooi Va.es and bags ore cneapenough, surely. Then wny nos expend an extra penny and save pounds/' These remarks rater equally to naggings and coarse breechings. Aonxucte of produce is so sensitive to tue •market touch" as wool. The wool-boyar L> the moat artistic and wary of pui ,■ he is at once the most confidential or suspicious cit.ai.are in trade, and rignGy so too. Aoled brands wtiialways command the respect of the wool-buyer, bu in cose oi stray, ili-gut up lines, waorem at t mes are to be found ail sorts and conditions of fUeot.3, now and omyu, baggings, a sheep-sum or two, *o., these sufiei'i&erciieaaiy in the hands of the trade Whereas, had the consignment been carefully "goneover" in “owner'o shed," ana placed m separate parcels, each mad of wool by itsou, n ver mica ho» small a bu.k, tne seder Would be a very large gainer, in no other calling is “negligence or carelessness" so "severely punished'' as lu the case of wool; perhaps the mtho iou ia not at the time perceptible, but the unwary producer soon tLds his pocket lighter than chat of his more aisci eel neighbour, yuery—Why throw away money when It can be so easily saved! W ith regard to charges, these aro reduced to tho lowest, end are upon the tame scale as other bouses. No ciiarxe is made for cartage from uaii to our well-lighted otores. This ia a great, boon, which we, witn pleasure, give to our clients. Viewing the on looa ot tho Wool names, we can, with every confidence, advise our friends rad the public generally to try tue Local filari.ee this season before rashly sending forward b, sea. Habit is, tike opium eating, very hard to overcome, but ia wool pioducing tne producer should have " two shots lor his money." i here is no necessity to place in store the whole clip. Send sample bales ot each class, which system was introduced by a moetvalued client, some tew years since, and emulated by many, both of the plains and Peninsula, and has Invariably resulted in equal satisfaction. Largo Catalogues, produced from tho various Brokers doing business in Canterbury, is the oul, bait to attract our worthy French and Foreign Buyers, who frequent filenjsies’ Hotel, and havo their cards placed anon the scam in the various Aieibourne Wool t.corns. Why not try? Is New Zealand to remain in the background tor ever? In troubi.ng you with these remarks We no so in the interests of many wool-growers, who, nom habit lu the good prices ol tne past, have become careless, and the taste of adversity of late ahouid act us an incentive to use every care and caution in the "getup" of me clips, to secure all me advantages o£ tho rise. “Collar every dollar" ia an old but very true saying. Values In wool are made or mr.rrod by care or carelessness. We ask the pardon of some growers for thus, aa it wore, again “rubbing It in," but having tho experience of lengthened years as salesmen, and our position allowing u- to view both sides of the question, we taka the liberty, in growers' interests, as weii an ia tho general interests of tho trade, to press upon the owners of wool, especially the two to twenty bale lots, tne necessity to insist upon carefui sorting. “Nothing is more attractive to tho eye of an expert than a nice, even, welt-classed line of wool, bo it either merino, half-bred, or cross-bred." Obtain tne attraction and you secure the jjrioe. In conclusion, wo may state that, falling a sale in tho local market equal to vet dor’s anils, we are m a position unsurpassed to place your clips m the Loudon market upon terms which certainly will boar favourable comparison with any others in tho trade, not even excepting the greatest Wool Houses in the world.
