HAVING JUST REMOVED INTO OUR NEW PREMISES. w E have much pleasure in inviting the public of Marlborough to pay us a visit and inspect our premises and stock, which will be found equal to anything of the kind in the colony. We have spared no expense that we thought would conduce to the public convenience and comfort, and by taking advantage of all the latest improvements in lighting and ventilating, we have succeeded. in getting spacious and splendidly lighted rooms. Me 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 are very important to both town and country residents. The Dressmaking Department is under 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. The gratis 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 in this room as - r ere in her private club or hotel, or elsewhere. Persons using the room will not be freely and comfortably as if she were m ner pri pressed to buy anything unless they want to. 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 purchase. 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 uc'C of it OUR SHIPMENTS OP NEW SPRING GOODS have ARRIVED per s.s. Rimutaki, Coptic, and Ruapehu, and as they comprise all the Latest Novelties, carefully selected by Mr E. J. Litchfield in the Home markets, we have great confidence that, in submitting them for inspection to the public, we shall be able to please the most fastidious. As the stock has been specially bought to open the new shop, the quantity is not only larger than usual, but the value is specially good, for the reason that we have marked the prices very low to meet the bad times. We are determined to make our establishment not only the largest and REST, but the Cheapest in the Colony. We have pointed out before to-day the advantage we have in being the oldest establishment in the province, and also the benefit of Mr F. J. Litchfield’s experience and sound judgment in buying for us, and, as We pay cash and buy direct from the producers, we save all intermediate profits, and are 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 prices. Our motto lias always been to give our customers a With these few introductory remarks, we invite the public to call and inspect our premises and stock, and leave them to judge for themselves as to the choice, style, quality, and value, feeling sure the verdict will be in favor of LITCHFIELD & SON, DRAPERS, CLOTHIERS, & GROCERS. -yr a T?.-re--FiT PLACE,

GEORGE D. MASON, WATCH MAKER AND JUWBLUK, MARKET PLACE, BLENHEIM. Mayoral ElectionTO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOBOUGLI Ob BLENHEIM. T ADIIiS AND GENTLEMEN 1 J —lt has been represented to me that a strong feeling of dissatisf ction exists wi‘h respect to the two candidates sonci ing election for the Mayoralty. It is objected to Mr Henderson that two years are long enough for anyone to occupy the office of Mayor ; and to Mr Douslin, that he isavtry unsuitable person, owing to his not having any idea of economy in dealing with the ratepayers’ money, and his being given to extravagant and wild schemes. Inconsequence, a large number of electors have (to use a stereotyped phrase, though in this case a true one) asked me to stand for the office, believing teat I shall do my best as Chairman of the Council to conduct it with economy and fairness. . . Electo/s.—l respectfully solicrt your support for this honourable office; but, I must inform you (on principal) I shall not canvass or ask for promises as I have always thought, and do so now, that it is unf ir and insulting to an elector, as he is quite able, I take it, to exercise his judgment on the m.rits of the candidati s.
