VLOJORia [jfIUSE, GREAT COMPULSORY ©ale, th:o^otjc3-h: l tt GENUINE T JE3IO^OUC3-^3: L T GENUINE AND OF PROFOUND INTEREST TO EVERY PKOVIDKB. Mrs LACWIT : Try as I may, Mrs Wisely, I can never have the luck of buying that you have. Mrs WISELY: I can quite under stand that, my dear— because your mouth's ever watering after Dead Sea fruit. Low-priced goods as a rule are not the cheapest. There are a great many more than Moses, with his grosses of greeu spectacles (in the " Vicar of Wakefield") have, to their sorrow, verified that fact. However, there are exceptions to all established rules; and it is just now our fixed determination, for a short time, whatever the loss, to make a distinct exception to this one, by respectfully and courteously inviting everyone, throughout the length and breadth of the District ol Taranaki, to come and see first-clnss goods, otieriDg — well, what shall I say? — at who-ever-could-imagine-it low piices. A few moments' gentle patience will be well spent in carefully looking over the prices of the various articles that are herewith submilted for the consideration of purchasers. As there are not very likely many, either of families or of siugle persons, but may pick up something, on their reading these under lines, that they are particularly in need of. aad who ere now would probably have provided themselves with, had they had the remotest idea that they could be procured for so small a sum— quite at random, as it were, we will begin with Cotton Shirting, which we offer at fivepence halfpenny; a few years agoit would have brought double the money. Our Union shirting, super-excellent quality, we are letting go at ninepence. Crimean Shirting, all that is desirable, is offered at one shilling and fourpence. Anyone can now be furnished with that indispensable article, Cotton Ticking, for ihe moderate consideration of sevenpence; and should Union Ticking be preferred, that we have reduced to one shilling. There is a large stock of Striped Hessian, which can be had at ninepence. Homespun at fivepence, ana a. more superior quality at sixpence. What next ? may reasuuuWy bo wondered at. Extra good Winceys positively a 4;a 4 ; sixpence. Could it be supposed that strong, sound Tweed — the opposite, quite, of shoddj — could be sold at two shillings? But such is the case — sign of the times, isn't it? — and, by having it double-width, only three shillings and ninepence. Double- width Cloth in blue and brown incredibly low, at four shillings. Clearly evident bargains in Brown Berge, which we are cisposiug of at tenpence. Printed Moles in the piece at two shillings. White and Orey Calicoes from three shillings per dozen. Seventy-two iuch White Sheeting one shilling, aud Grey for a trifle less. Unbleache i 'lablc Damask one shilling and sixpeuce, and White down to two shillings and fourpeoce? What I may well be exclaimed, can Coloured Lusties and Fancy Dress Goods be bought at sixp >nee ? Be assured that that is the figure we are doing tome of that class ot pootlb just now. For ihe teautiful and newly-intioduccd material, Beiges, we are me .suiiug at sxpence. Coloured Cashemere from one shilling and sixpence Black Onsheinere from o.ie shilling and tenpenct 1 . Pompadour Sateens at a most wonderfnl comt-down— namely, sixpence. Also, a wonderful tumble-do>\n in Jfrints, which we are doing from fourpence halfpenny. Beal nice lines in Ualate i S ripes as moderate as sixpence Who would legrudge sixpeuce for a jard of strong Brown Holland? Of course, that is the lowest price. Ihere is something really marvellous in the prices of our Flannels. We are selling some of these as low as ninepence. What, think yon, would out grcatgraud'lnmes have though*, of such a price ? One would suppose thac it would take half that sum to weave it. Toilet Covers, who « ould dispciuc with when one can be obtained fo: a shilling 1 White and Coloured Quilts as low in the price scale as six shillings and four shillings and sixpence. One woald need to travel far-a-fHd to buy cheaper Lace and Mublin - urtains than are offered now at this ts'ablis'imcnt. Our imported Summer Miiluiery this season is unrivalled for quantity, quality, variety, taste, and fashion; besides possessing facilities on the premises for effecting whatever alterations may be desirable. JSow, finally, comes io. what w<j are doing in Ucutlemen's, Tenths', and Boys' Clothing. Wo can sell tbe first of thest', a lair Suit of Twcol, for twenty-five shillings. Youths' proportionately less; and Boys' as low us six shillings. Full-s zed Tweed Coats, eleven shilliugs and sixpence. Trousers, seven shillings and ssxpeuce. Hals, almost ot every shape, shade, aud texture, at eaoimous reductions. Extra special good lines iv Linen, Cotton, and Woollen Shirts. In conclusion, we bog to intimate that the purpose of this truly great Sale is in ordrr to realise what, in vulgar parlance, is called the Heady Blunt; and its object would ba defeated were we to book at anything under our usual price • M. iHOOD. aBB 6hb tc
