Business Notices. RELIEF FROM BAD TIMES AND DEAR DRAPERY AT THE FAR FAMED AND FAVOURITE ESTABLISHMENT OF KIRKPATRICK, GLENDINING, & CO. Which is noted near and far FOR GOOD AND CHEAP COMMODITIES Beyond any other Houses in the City or the Colonies. This is owing to the adoption of their MODERN CUSTOM OF TRADING, by which they are enabled to sell the Best Goods, at Prices to Gladden the Heart and Adorn the Person. It is no Exaggeration to say that THEY LEAD THE WORLD OF FASHION IN NEW ZEALAND, And it is equally true that before their INNOVATION IN THE DRAPERY TRADE, Ladies and Gentlemen had to pay very different prices for DRAPERY, SILK MERCERY, FURNISHINGS, AND CLOTHING, A Fact which their Patrons gladly admit, and their Rivals greatly deplore. The Beneficial Results are that THE PEOPLE CAN CLOTHE BETTER, AND FURNISH BETTER, FOR LESS MONEY THAN FORMERLY. Exianatorv Notb. — Suffice it to say that the great evil of the ordinary system practised by other Importers, which makes everything so dear in the Colonies, is that every hundred pounds worth passes through at least as many as five tradesmen's hands before it comes to them, each one having a commission of from 2£ to 10 per cent., which makes an aggregate advance on the cost of from 20 to 30 per cent., which, unfortunately, the consumer has to pay for. The infinite advantage gained by the MODERN CUSTOM is that KIRKPATRICK, GLENDINING, AND CO. OBTAIN ALL THEIR WARES AT FIRST HAND, DIRECT FROM THE MANUFACTURERS, At the Least Possible Expense, by obviating, and avoiding altogether the many Intervening Profits ; consequently, in each and all of their Departments, they can fairly CLAIM SUPERIORITY over all Rivals and Competitors, as their Successive Shipments DAILY TESTIFY.
