J Drapers. , _____ IMPORTANT CHANGE. We beg to intimate that all our goods are now marked at strictly Wholesale Prices, and are sold tor Prompt IVett Cash Only. This change has been the result of no sudden resolution. Ever since we disposed of oui Winton and Gore businesses, where credit was to some extent unavoidable; the practicability of adopting WHOLESALE PRICES and, OASH PRINCIPLES has been considered and discussed by us in all its bearings, with the result that, after much *nziom thought, we have decided to make the change. Credit has attained such an altogether unhealthy development in New Zealand, and thinking people nee the evils arising from it so clearly, that we are encouraged by the hope that our effort to introduce an honester and healthier system of trade will receive the support of many, to mark their approval of the principle Arrespective of the money saving. In makiag the change we are however, well aware that the only way we can avoid making a wreck of our present large trade is by . - . . Selling Goods cheaper than any one has yet sold them, and. when we have no bad debts ro provide for, no interest on capital locked up in the books to provide for, and where everything is bought forCASH in the beat British and Continental markets (as is the case partly now, and will be wholly in future) we have no doubt of our ability to do it. To put the matter in a way which can be easily understood, wholesale prices me*n selling a suit for which we now get GOs at 50*, a 4s 6d cashmere at 3s 9d, and a 30s blanket for 25b , and so on throughout our entire stocks— a few leading lines, already sold ab wholesale rates, excepted. This means a thorough revolution. We look forward to being repaid by a largely increased trade, no bad debts, no worry in collecting accounts, and the command of our capital to buy for cash in the Home and Foreign markets. ■ If it is borne in mind that our Goods have hitherto compared more than favourably with those at the best of our competitors, the advantages our NEW SYSTEM offers to buyers will be very apparent, OHOIOB CLOTHING FOR THE HOLIDAYS AT WHOLESALE PRICES.
