Proof positive of this is the remarkable success of their Xmas gift season. For the past few days the staff hare been working under high pressure attending to tho wants of customers, who have crowded their establishment. Big inroads hays been made en the stock, it is needless to aay, but the firm are equal to the occasion, and no one will have cause for complaint as to the absence or variety. In addition to the fancy goods, the bulk of the travelling requisites sold in town must have been purchased at Young and Collins, judging by their output. This, of course, is only the natural outcome of stocking reliable goods only, and selling at bedrock prices. They claim to give from 20 to 25 per cent, better value than any house in town, and the public evidently possess the same idea.
