J ___ Drapers. ___ IMPORTANT CHANGE. We beg to intimate that all our goods are now marked at strictly Wholesale Prices, and are sold for Prompt IVett Cash Only. This change has been tbe result of no sadden resolution. Ever since we disposed of oar Win ton and Gore busnesses,' where credit was to some extent unavoidable, the practicability of adopting WHOLESALE PRICKS and OASH PRINCIPLES has been considered and discussed by us in all its bearings, with the result that, after much anxious thought, we have decided to make the change. Credit has attained such an altogether unhealthy development in New Zealand, and thinking people eeethe 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, irrespective of ths money saviag. In making 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 to provide for, no interest on capital locked up in the books to provide for, and where everything is bought forCASH in the best 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 mem selling: a suit for which we cow get GOs at 50a, a 4s 6d cashmere at 3s 9d, and a 30s blanket for 25a , and so oh throughout our entire stocks— a few leading lines, already sold at 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 com* mand 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 p.pp&rent, CHOIUE CLOTHING FOR THE HOLIDAYS AT WHOLESALE PRICES.
