r r 11 u i*xjx .vre siu General Store, Established in 1880, And for the past 12 years under the management of M. J. M ac R EYNOLDS ' Has had no opposition, for the simple reason that those who tried to sell the same class of goods at our prices are “ commercially ” dead. We buy in the best markets on the best terms. The business is the most economically managed in the North Island, and the turnover is so great that a very small profit on cost prices pays us liberally. For the convenience of settlers a branch is open at Oaonui two days per week, Tuesday and Friday. Other branches will be opened at other centres of settlement on application. Our carriers pass regularly from New Plymouth aud Opunake, and will deliver goods when ordered. We trade in general stores, and will deliver these (of best quality aud at bedrock prices) to settlers, contractors, &c., on any part of the Coast. Our experience of 12 years has taught us where the best values are to be had ; we therefore always stock Sargood, Son & E wen’s Drapery, &c. Levin and Go’s Groceries, &c. The Canterbury Flour Mills Flour John Duthie aud Co’s Ironmongery And during the coming season we will ,stock Nimmo and Blair’s Selected Seeds. Even those who do not trade with us like to have our price lists. These at present will make the settlers smile and the storekeepers growl, or my name is not M. J. MacEeynolds.
