When you see n- good thing advertised don't miss.it, On Saturday, 10th inst., J. Bulk'kl and Co, are putting under offer a -line xjf Ladies' Linen Costumes, which, by reference •to our "wanted known" column tfou will see are being cleared at. a price usually quoted for common fabrics. The material from which thes: goods are made is pure linen, the styles are stylish, and the colorings the latest. The demonstration at Mr A. J. S. Headland's store' on Wednesday afternoon of the working of the new Perfection oil stove' was attended 'by a large ..number of. interested house-, wives'. The principal, merits of the stoves are tnat the full heat eante obtained immediately they are • lit up, that there is absolutely no smoke or smell when working, and that the. cost of kerosene consumed is Infinitesimal. Mr, Barl'n?, who wa3 in charge, courteously explained to our representative all the details connected with the stove, the simplicity of which is beyond all doubt. It is claimed that an immense' saving is made in coal and gas bills, while there is the additional recommendation of a tremendous reduction in labor, such as replenishing fires, keeping clean, etc, A lady expert was busy all the afternoon cooking small loaves, cata, scorns, etc., and and the quality of, these called forth many expressions of praise from the visitors, Afternoon tea was also provided for all: callers, The cost of the stoves is very reasonable,' and once their- advantages are known there should be a, considerable number in use in Oamaru and district.
