■O- - THE 1888 A T the commencement of another Season we beg to thank our customers generally, and particularly those resident in the Country for the increased f\ amount of patronage they have kindly favoured us with during the past six months. We desire to assure them that more than ordinary attention will he paid to any orders they may entrust us with during the coming Season, as special assistants are kept for this branch of our trade. We are pleased to be able to state that we almost daily receive expressions of thanks and great satisfaction from many of our country patrons for the care and attention we at all time give to their commands. For the Spring and Summer Season now opening, at the time of writing this, we have received per the Steamships—--9J 5? 5 5 One Hundred and Fifty-five Cases of New and Fashionable Goods for the Season, all of which have been purchased direct from Manufacturers for PROMPT CASH When Mr Kirkcaldie was in Europe, in March and April of this year, he placed many large orders with Manufacturers iu England, Germany, France, Switzerland and Saxony, and by so doing he saved—as we have on . previous occasions pointed out to our Customers—the amount of profit which would have gone to the ,f Middleman” had these Goods been purchased from a wholesale warehouse; and now in every instance each article is marked at the lowest possible figure for PROMPT GASH, thereby making the burden of the increased tariff as light as can be for all our supporters. Now the Season is about to commence, doubtless you will be almost bewildered by the number of sensational advertisements which will attract yam attention —each one claiming to be the best and cheapest—but before purchasing anything we would most respectfully suggest that you send to us for patterns and list of prices of any goods you may require, and then by comparison it will he made abundantly clear to you as to which is the substance and which is the shadow.
