BUSINESS NOTICES "In commerce, the man who can satisfy the common needs of the masses is alone sure of permanent and unlimited reward," —Vide London Times. "It has profoundly convinced me that, as a rule, the individual or company thrives best which dives deepest down into the masses of the community and adapts its arrangements to the wants of the greatest number."—Vide the Eight Hon. W. E. Gladstone's speech. " Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy ; For the apparel oft proclaims the man." —Shakespeare. All thoughtful care and attention has been exercised in the selection. We confidently invite an inspection of the largest and, we believe, the best assorted stock of washing and colored dress goods ever submitted to the purchasing public of Oamara. The materials oomprise a most beautiful select on of choice goods, and several novelties in the colorings as well as the materials are noticeable. The textures are (juite new, and the shades are novel and effective in their appearance. The Cashmere make of Serge for dress wear has much to recommend it. The material is peculiarly soft, and very suitable for the Btyle of costumes now so fashionable. Advice to those about to be married.— We should recommend those happy ones who may contemplate marriage to call and inspect the enormous stock now on view at the Cash Drapers, whtre we are certain will be found every article requisite for house furnishings. An endless supply of carpets, door mats, floor cloths (all widths), cocoa matting, curtains, counterpanes, toilet coverß, antimacassers, &c., all marked at the lowest possible prices. The VV edding Trouseau. —We are confident a saving of 25 per cent, can be effected by purchasing at the Cash Drapers, as this branch has received particular care in the selections made from the best materials carefully cut and finished, tastefully trimmed, and moderate in price, and will be found well worthy of attention. A large parcel of underclothing just received from the manufacturers. Unfortunate circumstances unhappily existing in the British manufacturing districts have enabled our Home buyer to secure several desperate lines in the different departments. We are giving our customers the full benefit of this—we are therefore offering first-class articles at insignificant prices. Mourning Department. We have a special large stock of mourning goods, in lustres, serges, reps, Russell cords, Persian cords, Cashmeres, merinoes, &c., &c. These goods are imported by us direct from the Yorkshire looms. A choice selection of summer stockings, in white cotton and lisle thread; also, a beautiful variety of colorings, in plain and embroidered. A large stock of children's hose, marked cheap. By a casual glance at our stock of black silks (which we warrant not to cut) will be seen that we are selling them at 40 per cent, under regular prices. A considerable stir has been caused by our selling Josephines kid gloves at such reduced prices. The supply is getting limited; we should therefore recommend those not having yet purchased to call at once. John Bulleid & Co., Thames-street, Oamaru.
