Victors house. GREAT COMPULSORY THioißOTxa-ie: l -yt GENUINE thorougb: l it GENUINE AND OF PROFOUND INTEREST TO EVERY PROVIDER. Mrs LAOWIT : 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. There are a grtat many more than Moses, with his grosses of green spectacles (in the " Vicar of VVakefield") have, to their sorrow, verified that fact. However, there are exceptions lo all established rules; and it is just now our fixed determination, for a short time, whatever the loss, to make a dis'inct 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, o"ering — well, what shall I say? — at who-ever-could-imagine-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 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 srnnll 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 arc letting go at ninepente 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 .he moderate consid° ration of sevenpence; and should Union Ticking be preferred, that we have reduced to one shilli g. There is a large stock of Striped Hessian, which can be had at ninepence. Homespun »t fivepence, and a more superior quality at sixpence. What next ? may reasonably be wondered at. Extra good Winceys positively al,a 1 , sixpence. Could it be supposed that strong, sound Tweed — the opposite, quite, of shoddj — could ba sold at two shillings? But such is the case— sign of the times, isn't it I—and,1 — and, by having it double-width, ouly three shillu gs and ninepence. Double-width Cloth in blue and brown incredibly low, at four shillings. Clearly evident bargains in Bro#n Serge, which we are < isposing 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 'Jable Damask one shilling and sixpence, and White dowu to two shillings and fourpence? What 1 may well be ixclaimed, can Coloured Lustics and fancy Dress Goods be bought, at sixp nee ? Be assured that that is the figure we are doing fornc of that class of fzoocls just now For the tesutiful and j newly-introduced material, Beiges, we are me .suring at sixpence. Coloured Casheraere fiotn one shilling and sixpence Black Ca«hemere from one shilling and tenpence 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 Qalatea S ripes as moderate as sixpence Who would tegrndge sixperec for a yard of strong Brown Holland ? Of course, that is the lowest price, 'lliere is something really marvellous in the prices of our Klanncls. We are selling some of these as low as nincpunce. What, think yon, would our greatgranddames have thought', of such a price 1 One would suppose that it would take half that sum to weave it. Toilet Covers, who « ould dispense 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 would need to travol f ir-n-fiuld to buy cheaper Lace and Musliu ■ urtains than are offeml now at this establishment. Our imported Summer Millinery this season is unrivalled for quantity, quiility, variety, tusle, and fnbhion; besides possessing facilities on the premises for effecting whatever alterations may bo desirable. Now, finally, comes in what we aie doing in Gentlemen's, Youths', und Boys' Clothing. We can bell the first of thesp, a fair Suit of Twee I, for twenty- five shillings. Youths' pioporlionalely less; anil I'oys' as low as six blnllii'.gb. Full-sized Xaccd Coats, eleven shillings and sixpence. Trousers, seven shillings and sixpence, lints, almost ot every shape, shade, aud tcxturp, at enormous reductions. Extra special good lines in Linen, Cotton, and" Woollen fchirts. In conclusion, wo bog to intimate that the purpose of this truly great Sale is in order to realise what* in vulgar parlance, is called the lieady Blunt; and its object would be defeated were we to book at anything under our usual price?.
