THOS. J. HARBUTT, COKX BROOM AND STEAM BRUSH "FACTORY, Victoria-street. East, Auckland, Begs to thank his friends in Auckland, East and West Coast, and South Island generally, for their liberal support during the past six years, and to acquaint them that he has disposed of his Wholesale Brush Manufacturing Business to Mr Hugh K. Gilmore, of Glasgow, whom he desires to recomend with the utmost confidence and to express his conviction that the business will be so carried on by his successor as to insure their continued favour. Mr Harbutt intends to give his entire attention to the Corn Broom Manufacture, and will therefore take the management of THE KAPAI CORN BROOM CO. (unlimited), AUCKLAND. Mr Harbutt jun., on his return from America will also assist, and, from his practical experience gained there in this particular manufacture, will enable the Kapai Corn Broom Co. to produce an article equal to anything in the market for price and quality. Price lists on application. 30th September, 1881. WITH reference to the foregoing circular, I have much pleasure in informing Mr Harbutt's numerous customers that I propose carrying on the Wholesale Brush Manufacturing Business in those premises in which they have been so successfully carried on by Mr Harbntt for the past six year, and trust, from my practical experience of the same, combined with the most careful attention to the wants of the various customers, to insure a continuance of the support he so liberally received. I take this opportunity to mention that I have also taken over the Stock and Good-will of the Bellows Business carried on by the late G. D. Burke, at Wakefield-street, which business, along with the Making of Portable Forges or Rivet Hearths, will be carried on jointly with the Manufacture of Brushes. HUGH. K. GILMOUR (Late Thos. J.
