Commissioner. Property Tax Department, Wellington, 4th May, 1885. 5 705 A R OR NO WAR! War or no war, we in Ashburton “ eat to live,” in other words, every one must purchase tea, coffee, sugar and general groceries. When about to do so I would respectfully suggest that my shop be patronised, especially if purchases are to be for ready money. Mr Blank, a storekeeper, tells me that in Iview of the great number of stores, and cutting in prices, and general slaughter, it would soon be, in Ashburton, a case of the ‘‘survival of the fittest.” I hope to be one of the survivors, for I never was in a better position to serve the public well in quality and prices of goods, I take this opportunity to thank my customers for the preference they continue to give my shop, and at same time to request monthly customers to settle promptly, thus enabling lire to buy well, and to continue to serve them well.
