BUSINESS ITEMS.

HOME AND COLONIAL STORES.

A wise man buys in the best and cheapest market, such is an accepted axiom that applies equally in regard to household supplies as well as in busines circles, and those, of our readers who desire to apply this standard to themselves should refer to the Home and Colonial Stores’ price list, which appears in our advertising columns. There is no doubt that the Home and Colonial Stores have caused a revolution in Auckland regarding their famous low prices, for the unbounded success which has marked their business from its inception is an unqualified fact that methods of spot cash and low prices are factors that demand attention. Beginning in a small way, with an earnest desire to give the public the benefits to be derived from dealing with a firm that sells at wholesale rates, the Home and Colonial Stores have progressed so rapidly that, from small beginnings, they have no less than eight up-to-date stores in Auckland, the public generously responding to the advantages offered by this enterprising firm. The continued success has warranted the establishment of a Country Order Department, which is now in full swing, and those of our country readers who desire to participate in the famous low prices offered by the Home and Colonial Stores can obtain the latest price list on application to the manager. The system of some firms of giving presents (sometimes of no intrinsic value) is not one to be commended, and we are pleased to see that the Home and Colonial Stores offer to their numerous customers full value in goods for spot cash. This principle can never fail, and there is not the slightest doubt that the enormous strides the firm has made in business is due to the fact that they have kept faith with the public in giving a reliable article at the lowest possible rates. We wish them ever?/ success.
