A Nimble Ninepence is better than a Slow Shilling! m HOUGH this may not be true to its full extent, unless the shilling proves a 1 very slow one indeed, yet there is no doubt,that - Small Profits and Quick Returns nrove satisfactory to both buyer and seller. The small profits suit the buyer to aT, and the quick returns the 7 seller ; but uufortunately some buyers forget that. the quick returns are necessary to ensure the small profits, and the storekeeper has to put on extra ‘ ib . ar^ B n fo^^o^ e ®P: ins', stationery, stamps, interest on book debts, legal and court expenses and BAD DEBTS, not forgetting a fair percentage for the anxiety and worry caused by the uncertainty when (if ever) some buyers will make their returns, the slow coaches in question being those who complain the most of the storekeeper’s charges. . /w _ TT ATTDr In thanking his customers for their support m the past, the proprietor of Oxford House may fairly claim to have brought about a very considerable reduction in the cost of the necessaries of life to the dwellers in Picton and neighborhood. Had the population of the district, &c., &c., &c., been sufficient to justify an attempt to establish a purely cash business, the reductions would have been larger still ; as it is, he claims to have dealt as hberally with his customers as circumstances warranted, or, in other words, he has sailed inui h closer to ie \un than the skipper of any other commercial craft without running the risk of capsizing the oa , That he is still determined to follow the same course, the Cash Price List now submitted will show : Apples, dried, ft) from Arrowroot „ Barley, pearl „ Blue » Candied Peal „ Candles „ Carraway Seed „ Cheese „ Cocoa „ Coffee „ Corn Flour „ Currants „ Dates; „ Ginger „ Lead, white or red „ Ling „ Linseed, [crushed „ Lollies „ Marmalade „ Mustard „ Nails, wire „ „ wrought „ Nuts ~ Oatmeal „ Paints, mixed ~ Peas, split „ Pepper, black „ „ white „ Pitch ~ Powder, gnn „ Raisins „ Resin „ Rope „ 0 10 7 8 7 8 0 5 8 7 10 11 0 3 4 0 10 0 3 Rice Sago Salt Saltpetre Soda,carbonate „ washing Sugar, yellow „ best white Shot Starch Tapioca Tea,good „ better „ best Tobacco Whiting lb from s. d. 0 1J 0 4 0 I i Barlew, patent, tin from 011 Groats „ 0 11 Herring, fresh „ Jams Knife Polish „ Lobster „ Oysters „ Salmon „ Sardines „ Oil, salad bot. from „ castor „ „ cod liver „ Pickles „ Sauces Axes „ Sharp’s from 0 10 0 10 0 8 1 0 0 9 0 11 1 0 0 8 0 8 3 3 0 11 0 10 5 0 7 0 Blacking, 16 cakes Brooms, American „ Hair Buckets Chairs, wood seat „ cane seat Coal Scoops Handles, axe „ pick „ broom Kerosene, per bottle „ per quart „ per tin „ per case 17 Matches, plaids, per doz. 0 „ 250’s Oil, raw, per gal. „ boiled „ ~ colza ~ Paperhangings, per piece Pegs, clothes, 7 dozen for Soap per bar from Tar, Stockholm per gal. „ coal „ Wash boards Chamber sets from 12 Cups & [saucers, Decanters, per pair „ Jugs set of three „ Jam jars per nest „ Plates per doz. „ Tumblers „ „ Vegetable dishes „ In addition to the goods above enumerated, Oxford House contains an unusually large assortment of useful and ornamental articles, bought under the most favorable circumstances, and marked at extremely low prices, the whole of which the proprietor now offers to cash purchasers at a REDUCTION of TEN PER CENT.
