VISITORS SHOULD KNOW That there will be a GREAT GATHERING OF THE CLANS at the CaVE, Tay street. Thousands of Toys from 6d and up, as advertised in the local papers. Strangers are also reminded that the Cave is the place to get all the latest and best Rooks. Presents for the Million. All the British and Colonial Xmas Numbers to hand, beautiful pictures, at Rodgers Bros, TAY STREET AND RAILWAY BOOKSTALL. FORMAL OPENING OF THE MAGIC CAVE THE CAVE was opened in the presence of a large and Representative Audience, and a “ Crowned Turk,” the latter being securely chained in an Iron Cage. The Chairman said it had been his intention of alluding to some of the most important topics which have occupied the minds of many of the thinking men and women of the World during the year now closing. But seeing such a great number of his young friends ready' and eager to examine the Mysteries of this Cave he would confine his remarks by saying what he had been requested to say. Well, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am requested by the manager for RODGERS BROS to inform you that their stock is now replete with everything for which the juvenile heart yearns, that lheir large stock of BOOKS suitable for presentation or for generai reading is the best in Southland, and that they will be pleased to have a personal visit from everyone in order toprove their Asseveration. The Chairman concluded a niost elegant oration eulogising the Beauty’ and Great Variety of the Goods displayed, and assuring the audience that the Prices were all fair and reasonable. I may say that it is the intention of the Proprietors to present every Purchaser of goods amounting to 2s 6d or more with a copy of The Early History of Southland, illustrated, also containing the photos of the Hon Dr Menzies and many other Honourable and leading citizens, or if preferred, the purchaser can select a copy of Mrs F E Renwick’s charming Narrative entitled Craigielinn, the lady being a passenger in the Philip Laing with Captain Elies as commander. Having read the book with much pleasure we recommend it to everyone as the writer was evidently a good, womanly kind of a woman.
