AN D T. INWL IS, Who f have the pleasure to announce that they regard this as ONE OF THE MOST ADVANTAGEOUS PURCHASES EVER MADE, viz., £6600 VALUE FOR £2604 CASH. The stook is a good one, mostly NEW. J Messrs Evans & Co. having been in Business only a few years, have not accumulated any large quantity of undesirable Stock. We could very Well afford to'put it with our own, and sell it at ordinary prioes j yet we shall not do so. We have^no desire to emulate the LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF NEW ZEALAND, who, perfectly willing to reduce the ' ( screw of Night Porters, Platelayers, Lamp-oleaners, or Underpaid Policemen, declined in the most wrathsome style to put the screw on its Honorarium, er listen to any reduction. We are in no sort of competition with honourables of this kind j we are determined ito f ,' t .. , ' , ' , ""!,• - ? SACRIFICE, ? SACRIFICE, '•" ■■''•'" ■ " '"-'•'* '■ SACRIFICE I NOT OTHERS,. BUT OURSELVES! THEREFORE ON SATURDAY, 7th AUGUST We Bhall offer Evans' Stook, together with our own, at such Enormous Reductions as will cause a PANIC amongst CONSERVATIVE TKADESMEN, and cause them to cry out that ANARCHY AND REVOLUTION have taken possession of a once Steady-going and Respectable Business. There is, however, no Anarchy, and the Revolution consists only in this one faot, that having bought £5600 value at the rate of One Pound's worth fob sbybn shillings and Foubl?ence Half-penny, we shall give all our Customers the full benefit of this wonderful event. Enough is as good as a feast, yet one word more: Notwithstanding this upside-down way of trading, we shall continue to stamp all Bills for our Art Union of 1880, which we shall draw in due course— The Lotteries Aot, the Colonial Treasurer, and Parliament of New Zealand notwithstanding.
