A Local Institution.

Throughout the Province of Auckland, one of the best and most favorably known names in the tea and coffee business is that of Jas. MoGowan. Since he located himself on the Thames in 1870, he has enjoyed a large share of the trade in the above lines; and having laid himself oat for general supplies, he does the leading trade in staple groceries. He started on the right theory of giving the very best quality of goods at reasonable prices. Under his guidance McGowan's 3s tea haß become one of the Institutions of the Thames. The business has reached large proportions, and as it grows older enjoya solidity. It is always a pleasure, to deal with a responsible concern, where goods and prices can be relied on. Bent on improvements for the convenience of his trade, he proposes clearing out earthenware and glass at cost price op to 'Xmaa. This will be an opportunity for the supply of household requisites that all should avail themselves of.—[Advt/}
