We have arranged them in such a manner that each department is quite separate, and at the same time easily accessible. There are two items we wish to draw the attention of our Lady Friends to, viz., the Dressmaking Department and the Ladies' Club or Reading Room, Two matters that arc very important to both town and country residents. The Dressmaking Department is uuder the management of Miss Meredith, which is sufficient guarantee that everything in the department will be turned out thoroughly satisfactory in every respect, as her testimonials, references and, work already done "will prove, lhc Ladies’ Club is a novelty here, and it will be found to be a great convenience to both town and country people. It is fitted up comfortably with Lavatory, etc. The latest fashions will be kept on the table for anyone to examine free gratis, and we invite the ladies of Marlborough, as well as visitors from other provinces, to take advantage of and use the rooms freely. Writing materials will also be provided free, and anybody wishing to make an appointment to meet her friends, where they can have a quiet chat, or transact any business they may wish, can do so m as freely and comfortably as if she were in her private club or hotel, or elsewhere.

The room is situated so that anyone wishing to use it can go direct to it, and stay as long as she likes, and leave whenever she likes, without being questioned or solicited to ])iu chase. We wish it to be clearly understood that this is a public room (for ladies only) and free, and we hope the ladies of Marlborough will make free ucc of it. OUR FIRST SHIPMENT OF NEW SPRING GOODS W fully ins A the new shop, the quantity t „ marked the prices very low to meet the bad times. Wo arc determined to make our establishment not only the largest and best, but the Cheapest in the Colony. Wc have pointed out before to-day the advantage we have in being the oldest establishment in the province, and also the benefit of Mr E. J. Litchfield’s experience and sound judgment in buying for us, and, as we pay cask and buy direct from the producers, we save all intermediate profits, and arc able to give our customers sound sterling goods at Wholesale Prices. We do not lay ourselves out to keep rubbishy stuff, so that we can quote a long list of absurdly low juices. Our motto lias always been to give our customers a really good sterling article at a moderate price, so that they will be satisfied with it, and come back again. And the soundness of our policy is proved by the fact that our business has gone on steadily increasing for the last 20 years, and wc intend to try to make it continue to increase, by giving our customers good honest value for their money With these few introductory remarks, we invite the public to call and inspect our premises and stock, and leave them mice, style, quality, and value, feeling sure the verdict will be in favor of to judge for themselves as to the choice, style, qiu LITCHFIELD & SON, DRAPERS, CLOTHIERS, & GROCERS, plage, Blenheim.
