NEJWTON. In France Street, Newton, just below the rear of George Court's premises, and almost opposite t'ho King's Theatre, are the two establishments presided over by Mrs. G. Maton, modiste. Some ten years have elapsed since this lady started in business, and, thanks to her initiative), skill, and enterprise, she has succeeded in making herself so well known that her trade has long ceased to be confined to Auckland, and now extends to t'ho Waikato, and even the far North. On going over her premises and noting her busy workrooms and extensive stock, the visitor can come to no other conclusion than that she is doing an extensive trade. Among the principal lines she handles may be mentioned ladies' frocks, costumes, underwear, blouses, jumpers, etc. These goods she supplies ready-made. Everything is excellent value, and popular prices rule. But, while Mrs. Maton devotes much of her attention to ready-to-wear garments for "todies' use, she also makes ladies' wearing apparel to order, and is always prepared to execute commissions for any garment required. If a ladv requires a travelling costume or a fashionable blouse or jumper, a frock of the newest style, or vn fact anything else in the outfitting way, Mrs. Maton will not only supply it to order, but. give quick delivery. As she says, no order is too small or too large to engage her attention. And she specialises in trousseaux, also in children's goods. About the time this notice appears, tlio city will doubtless be crammed with holiday visitors. "up for Xmas." Manv of these visitors will, of course, be ladies residing in remote country places, where city poods and city prices are practically unknown. Such ladies should avail themselves of the opportunity to pay Mrs. Maton ft visit. They may find it weli worfcii thair while.
