BUSINESS NOTES

Attention *is drawn to' Messrs.* Lundon •• and Shecran's advertisement in another pant of this issue.

To-morrow at 1.30. p.m., Mr J. H. Keesing will sell at Russell t Street, a freehold section with cottage, . also ' the household furniture and effects. ....

r - During ihe. ' la£is Messrs': JS» H. White and Co. -had in their window four ladies' macintoshes, very good qualities, ordinary, prices! 35s to 455. The firm advertised 'that tit 11 o'clock -to-cthy t&e price ivould fee, jJia«lo a sutJ<Jen drop <3pivM.~4!o 10s each, but I'hvtfc osij not sold 1 within five 'minutes, wquld begin to rise Is every five minutes. When the clock struck 11 there were far more buyers ready than macintoshes to fit them with, consequently: com-" petition was keen and the assistants *just then wished they could .bring forward about six dozwi of fiist the very same kind of macintoshes. Needless to say the four macintoshes were all sold in about two minute^ ' .

The successful Diisiness man of to-day must call to his. aid all the modern appliances and safeguards for the systematic and accurate conduct of business. Fierce competition com pels'morc 'than ever before the strictest attention to every detail. 'The proprietor must know' at the end of the day every particular concerning all transactions; he must know where every penny of his money taken in 'and paid out lias gone. The new; Sun Kegister evidently domes as ttye 'greatest boon ever conferred on the> striiggling tradesman. t So simple and yet sb .effective, so -standsome and yet so reasonable in price, it has only to be seen in working order to at once convince all and every business-man that he is tempting wreck and disaster by, refusing the protection and assistance it offers. How many poor struggling business men could we point out to-"dqy that had they in the fir§t the protection that an up-to-date cash register supplies, could now have sufficient to comfort them in their declining years, instead of worry and vexation that must make life not worth living. Be wise in time. The high prices the above machines have been sold at in the past has to some extent proved a stumblingblock to many that would have gladly availed themselves 1 of the opportunity of • securing one ; but that is now removed by the splendid machine now being shown by Mr Pitt at the sample, rooms, Chavann.es' Hotel. We strongly advise all business men to see it for themselves. *
