RETAIL DRAPERY AT WHOLESALE PRICES FOR READY MONEY ONLY AT NICHOLLS & CO.'S • CASH DRAPERY WAREHOUSE, WANGANUI. We hereby announce that on Friday next (April 9th) we ehall inaugurate the above-mentioned system of bußinesß in Wanganui. Feeling that such an important change in oar business arrangements demands more than a mere notification of the fact, especially to our many Customers, we would earnestly invite attention to tho following details of the READY MONEY SYSTEM as now adopted by us, Stabting with the recognised fact that READY MONEY is the true basis of all successful nnd legitimate trading, we shall entiiely suspend all credit transactions. Whilst sincerely thanking those of our Customers who have hitherto had monthly accounts with us, we trust they will accord us still increated patronage under the NEW SYSTEM* , Some months since, we made arrangements with a thoroughly experienced agent' for importing our goods DIRECT from the beat English and Continental houses (in most instances from the direct manufacturers), 'I he first of these Shipments, consisting of the latest novolties, has iuet come to hand.aud been marked in PLAIN FIGURE Sat a minimum of profit on the exact landed cost. The remainder of our stock has been equally reduced, and Customers are requested to compare our PRESENT PRICES with those formerly charged for tL same articles We confidently assert that in every instance they will COMPARE FAVOURABLY with the COLONJAL WHOLESALE RATES and be found quite 25 per cent cheaper than any RETAIL house on the Coast. As the success of our undertaking depends almost entirely on our carrying out the READY MONEY PhINCIPLE in its INTEGRITY, wo wish it to be distinctly understood that in no single instance can credit be given. Every article must be paid for Al TIME of PURCHASE, and we trust to the good sense of our Customers to spare us tho unplcaeantnesß of refusing to depart from this rule. No discount or abatement off the plainly marked prices can possibly be allowed (either to the trade or the public). No SPECIAL SALES will in future be held, it being our determination to daily offer the whole of our stock at much less than SPASMODIC SALE PRICES. The question will doubtless bo put to us :— " Can you make this system pay ?" In reply, we would remind you that several of the largest Australian houses are now conducted on the READY MONEY basis, and that the same system has been recently introduced into New Zealand by a well-known Wellington firm with marked success. As one^f the first principles of domestic economy is to buy in the cheapest market, we trust to an enormously increased business to recoup us for-.tjie GREAT REDUCTION in our prices, To the country settlers we particularly look for encouragement, and hope tha^ will send to us for PATTERNS of anything and everything they require and COMPARE PKICES, We are certain they will be greatly surprised^nd gratified 'at the result, Calling attention to the details of cur FIRST AUTUMN and WINTER J3HOW, which appear in another column, we now place our future business prospects in the hands of the purchasing public, and cordially" invite them to co-operate with us, by buying all their RETAIL DRAPERY AT WHOLESALE PRICES FOR READY MONEY ONLY AT NICHOLLS & CO.'S CASH DRAPERY WAREHOUSE, WANGANUI.
