0 GREAT COMPULSORY Sa,le, THOBOUGH L "V" GENUINE tkoirottglh: l it GENUINE • AND OP PROFOUND INTEREST TO EVERY PROVIDER. Mrs LAC WIT : Try as I may f 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 arc not the cheapest. Thore are a gnat many more than Moses,, with his grosses of green spectacles (in the " Vicar of VVakcfield") 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 of Taranaki, to come and see first-class goods, offering — well, what shall I say? — at wbo-ever-could-imngine-it low prices. A few moment's' gentle patience will be well spent in carefully looking over the prices of the various articles that are herewith submitted for the consideration of purchasers. As there are not very likely many, either of families or of single persons, but may pick up something, en their reading these under lines, that they are particularly in need of, and 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 flvepence halfpenny; a few years ago it 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 rhe moderate consideration of sevenpence; and should Union Ticking be preferred, that we have reduced to one shillii g. There is a large stock of Striped Hessian, which can be had at ninepence. Homespun at fivepence, and a more superior quality at sixpence, What next ? may reasonably be wondered at. Extra good Winceys positively at sixpence. Could it be supposed that strong, sound Tweed— the opposite, quite, of shoddj— could b 3 sold nt two shillings? But such is the case — sign of the times, isn't it? — and, by having it double-width, only three shillicgs aud nicef ence. Double-width Cloth in blue and brown incredibly low, at four shillings. Clearly evident bargains in Brown Serge, which we arc cisposiDg of at tenpenco. Printed Moles in the piece at two shillings. White and Grey Calicoes from three shillings per dozen. Seventy-two inch White Sheeting one shilling, and Grey for a trifle less. Unbleached Table Damask one shilling and sixpence, and White down to two shillings and fourpence ? What 1 may well be exclaimed, cau Coloured Lustres and Fancy Dress Goods be bought at sixp?nce ? Be assured that that is the figure we are doing Eome of that class of goods just now. For the beautiful and newly-introduced material, Beiges, we are measuring at s'xpence. Coloured Cashcmere from one shilling and sixpence. Black Cashemerc from one shilling and tenpenc». Pompadour Sateens at a most wonderful come-down — namely, sixpence. Also, a wonderful tumble-down in Priuts, which we are doing from fourpence halfpenny. Keal nice lines in Galatea S'ripes ns moderate as sixpence. Who would tegrudge sixpence for a yard of strong Brown Holland ? Of cours°, that is the lowest price. There is something really marvellous in the prices of our Flannels. We are selling some of these as low as ninepence. What, think you, would our grentgrauddames have thought of such a price? One would suppose lhat it would take half that sum to weave it. Toilet Covers, who « ould dispense with when one can be obtained for a shilling ? White and Coloured Quilts as low in the price scale as six shillings aud four shillings and sixpence. One would need to travel L'r-a.ficld to buy cheaper Lnce and .Muslin <. urtaius than are offered now at this establishment. Our imported Summer Millinery this season is unrivalled for quantity, quality, variety, tnsto, and fashion; besides possessing facilities on the premises for effecting whatever alterations may be desirable. .Now, finally, comes in what we are dring in Gentlemen's, Youths', and Boys' Clothing. We can sell the first of these, it 'air Suit of Twee 1, for twenty-five shilling* Youths' proportionately less; and Boys' as low as six shillings. Full s.zod Tweed Coate, leven shillings aud sixpence. Trousers, seven shillings and sixpence. Hats, almost o. ovtry shape, sbadc, and texture, at enormous reductions. Extra special good lines in Linen, Cotton, and Wcollen Shirts. In conclusion, we bog to intimate that the purpose of this truly great £ale is in order to realise what, in vulgar parlance, is called the i eady Blunt; and its object would be defeated were we to book at anything under our usual price^ M. iHOOD. aSS 6hb to I I '
