Cash ie> <m? Citr.Mr.— A few business houses in Sew Zealand aio continually daunting befoie the public the ad\antitge& lo bo deiived from suppoiting their so called cash system. These self-dubbed philanthropists, with unblushing jffrontery, claim that the public aie called upon to pay from 10 to 20%moie to old-estab-lished and leputablo firms — giving a judicious amount of credit— than cash tradeis bay they charge for their goo Js. On the surface many of their claims appear feisiblfc and advantageous. It is pointed out, no bad debts aie made, no high-paid staff of bookkeeper is required, consequently, with less expense, a minimum rate of piofit is put upon then goods. It is interesting in this connection to note tl-at all soils of artifices aro resorted lo to hoodwink the public. Systems of doing business aie proposed involving double tbe expense in tbe clciieal depaitment than the o'd method carried out by thobe doing what is termed a ciedit busi ness. It would bo supposed that those who wishtoboconsidoiedphilantluophists would extend a email mea&iue of generosity to their employees. But we find such is baldly the case, for in many instances the assistants aie juniois. and paid i ;tai\ation wages. Under these conditions these "lo\ers of humanity" appear to be a strange combination of selfishness and deception. In the midst of nil there is an old-established firm amongst us who does business on legitimate and found piinciples. We allude to Messis J. Paul and co. This, firm, in addition to having an extended practical expenenco, employs a buyei in London to purchase novelties as soon as intioduced into the European centres of fashion. There is no film in New Zealand who can buy moie advantageously, or who sell tho same highclass good cheaper. There are no middle men's pi olits, everj thing being purchased direct fiom the manufacturers. All the depaitmonls aio headed by adults of expeiienco, who aro paid h\ing salaiies. Cash purchasers are allowed a discount of 5 pei cent, and monthly accounts are conceded 2} per cent off. That the public appi ocmte Messrs J. Paul and Co.'s efforts is self-avident, seeing they do by far the laigest soft goods business on this coast, and are determined to retain the confidence of tho people by offering nothing but the very highest quality goods at prices not to be beaten in any part of the colony. The public should give the above subject Uieir most earnest attention, as it will pay them to do so, and disabuse the r minds of the idea that they can bnv cheaper from any of these so-called " ca^h tiadeis." Many fa ins have co re lo Wanganui during "Messis J. Paul and Co.'s business eaieer wilh gieat anticipations, have gone up like a locket, and in many instances have come down with the stick. —Advt. New Goods! That bitty little shop, known as "The Sjdnoy Cash Drapciy Co,'s," have opened up a lot of New Season's Goods dining tho past week. Some choice Ladies' Winter Gapes fiom Gs Cd each are now on view, and aro being quickly purchased by the keon judges of "goo'Vbai gains." Blankets, Quilts and Rugs are being sold at prices never before dreampt of in Wnngamu being quite 30% below ordinary pi ices Call and inspect them.— Ad\t.
