HAVING JUST REMOVED INTO OUR NEW PREMISES. WE have mucli 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 1. ghting and ventilating, we have succeeded in getting spacious and splendidly lighted rooms. 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 Emends 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 uuder i the management of Miss Meredith, which is sufficient guarantee that everything in the department will be tinned out thoroughly satisfactory in every respect, as her testimonials, references and, work already done will prove. The 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, anil 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 in this room as i freely and comfortably as if she were in her private club or hotel, or elsewhere. Persons using the room will not be pressed to buy anything unless they want to. The room is situated so that anyone wishing to use it can go direct to it, j 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 nope the ladies of Marlborough will make free uee of it. OUR SHIPMENTS OP NEW SPRING GOODS j have ARRIVED per s.s. Rimutaki, Coptic, and Ruapehu, and as they comprise all the Latest Novelties, careI fully selected by Mr P. 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 best, 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 P. 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 has 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 we 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 publieto 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.

Mayoral Election' TO THE BURGESSES OF THE BOROUGH Ob' BLENHEIM. T~ ADIES AND GENTLEMEN 1 J —li has been represented to me that a strong feeling of dissatis-f-ction exists wi'h respect to the two candidates so ici ing election for the Mayoralty. Tt 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 is a very unsuitable person, owing to his not having any idea of economy in dal ing with the ratepayers’ money, and his being given to extravagant and wild schemes. Inconsequence, a laige number of electors have (to use a stereo* typed phrase, though in tins case a true one) asked me to S'and tor the office, believing that I shill do my best as Chairman of the Council to conduct it with economy and fairness. Electors.—l respectfully solicit your support for this honourable office; but, I must inform you (on principal) I shall sot canvass or ask for promises as I have a’Although t, 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 merits of tho candidat's.
