VICTORIA pSE. GREAT COMPULSORY ©ale. THOROUGH L IT GENUINE GENUINE AND OP PROFOUND INTEREST TO EVERY PROVIDER. Mrs LACWIT : Try as I may, Mrs Wisely, I can never have the luck of buying that you have. Mrs WISELY: I can quite understand that, my dear— because your mouth's ever watering after Dead Sea fruit. Low-priced goods as a rule are not the cheapest. Thpre are a great many more than Moses, with his grosses of green spectacles (in the " Vicnr of Wakefield") have, to their sorrow, verified that fact. However, there are exceptions to all established rules; and it is jnst 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 leneth and breadth of the District of Taranaki, to come and see first-class goods, odering — well, what shall I say? — at wbo-ever-could-imagiuc-it low prices. A few moments' 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, on their reading these underline?, that they are particularly in need of, and who ere now would probably have provided themselves with, bad they bad 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 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 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, 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 shoddy — 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 Serge, which we are risposing of at tenpenca. 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 I may well be ixclainsed, can Coloured Lustres and Fancy Dress Goods be bought at sixp°nce ? Be assured that that is the figure we are doing some of that class of poods just now. For the teautifnl and newly-introduced material, Beiges, we are measuring at sixpence. Coloured Cashcmere from one shilling and sixpence. Black Cashemere from one shilling and tenpenct 1 . Pompadour Sateens at a most wonderful come-down— namely, sixpence. Also, a wonderful tumble-down in Prints, which we are doing from fourpence halfpenny. Real nice lines in Galatea Stripes as moderate as sixpence Who would tegrudge sixpence for a jardofstiODg Brown Holland? Of course, that ia 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 greatgranddaines have thought of such a price? One would suppose that it would take half that sum to weave it. Toilet Covers, who w ould dispeute with when one can be obtained for a shilling ? White and Coloured Quilts as low in the price scale as six shillings and four shillings ami sixpence. One would need to trnvel far-a-field to buy cheaper Lace and Muslin l urtains than are offered now at this establishment. Our imported Summer Milliuery this senson is unrivalled for quantity, quality, variety, taste, and fashion; besides possessing facilities on the premises for effecting whatever alterations may be desirable. Now, finally, comes in what we arc doing in Gentlemen's, Youths', and Boys' Clothing. Wo can sell the first of these, a fair Suit of Tweed, for twenty-five shillings. Youths' proportionately less; and Boys' as low as six shillings. Full-sized Tweed Coats, eleven shillings and sixpence. Trousers, seven shillings nnd sixpence. Hnts, almost ol every shape, sbade, aud texture, at enormous reductions. Extra special good lines in Linen, Cotton, and Woollen Shirts. In conclusion, we beg to intimate that the purpose of this truly great Sale is in order to realise what, in vulgar parlance, is called the Heady Blunt; and its object would be defeated were veto book at anything under our usual prices.
