ZEALANDIA JJOUSE WHAT'S IN A NAME! IN Commerce it is of the utmost importance that a good name should be got, after which every effort should be made to retain it. We value our good name, and we intend that nothing shall take place to make its position insecure. We are, and always have been, doing our utmost to supply the best value that can be bought for money, and we are quite satisfied that ZEALANDIA HOUSE is in the Vanguard of the Drapery Trade No matter what you require—one line need not be singled out in the thousand and one to be found in our establishment—the stamp of excellence is to be found in every article in our premises. Our stock is selected with the greatest care, and no trouble is spared to ensure its being the best value in the market. CUR WINTER STOCK IS PARTICULARLY WORTHS" OF YOUR ATTENTION.

Our Motto is—TOP VALUE AND, BOTTOM PRICES,, JAMES MACDONALD AND CO., GENERAL DRAPERS AND HOUSE FURNISHERS. ZEALANDIA HOUSE, O AMARU. A SIEVE WILL NOT HOLD WATER. UITE TRUE, Some folk, though, would try and make us believe that their Credit VVj Sieve holds water. Nobody else can give you such good value as they can. Of course not. But what about the leakage that is going on. " Oh, never mind about that," is the rejoinder. "We buy so much cheaper than firms doing a Cash trade. Manufacturers sell their goods to us at a much lower rate than any other firms are favored with, so much so, in fact, that Customers really save four shillings out of every twelve shillings, by shopping with lis," say the advocates of Credit. We are inclined to think that THE PEOPLE OF OAMARU ARE NOT SO GREEN. They know this Credit Sieve will not hold water, no matter how plausible the statements in its favor may appear on the surface. We live in a matter-of-fact age. People are influenced more by what they see, than by what they hear. To put it in another form ACTS SPEAK LOODER THAN WORDS. Our business is rapidly increasing. Why 1 Because we give sterling value right through, in every department. The public know it, and recognise that it pays them to shop at the Polytechnic. We say wichoub fear of contradiction that we Turn our Stock Over a greater number of times during a year than any other firm of Drapers in North Otago. Anyone can see at a glance this has the double eff-.-ct of keeping our stock clean and fresh, and also enabling us to sell at a much smaller profit. The farmer who gets two crops a year off his land can sell cheaper than the man getting one crop only. It is just the same with THE READY MONEY SYSTEM. By turning our Stock over once in 3 Months we can sell cheaper than firms turning over iheir Stock Once in 6 Months, or not even that. Nothing beats the Ready Money. Everybody knows it. YOU know it. We buy cheaper, get first offer of any special clearing lines, secure large discounts, avoid losses in selling, and in very many instances can and do sell Goods to our Patrons at LESS THAN USUAL WHOLESALE COST. Everybody Invited to Call and Judge for Themselves. No one Pressed to Buy. gROWN AND Q- IBBAED, IMPORTERS AND NOTED READY MONEY DRAPERS, THE POLYTECHNIC, THAMES STREET, OAMARU.
