WARNING TO JUIRCHftSER?. New Zealand people have special reason to beware of tradesmen- who offer them* one tilling- when they ask for another. i This w known as siAst '.tuition, and is usually attempted to seeuro greater .profit. Well-advertised lines are usually imitated.. Fct instance, in a great many shops when. Dr Williars' Pink Pills arc asked for, tfoa fxksman at once brings fomethiing 1 eJse» forward which ho pays is "just ac £cod."* or "just the same."

It's an annoyanco to be gestered in this way by tradesmen, a^.d there are so many storekeepers and ohemLsife wiho ei^rays give their customers •wiba.t fch>3y ask for, that* buyers a>re foolish to. oontimae dealing' with those ivho try ito deceive them.
