CLEARING SALE CLEARING SALE ! ! "O l a c k has groat pleasure in thanking his mau) customers for paFt favors, and now wishes to inform them that previous tc stock-taking ho will hold A pHEAP GALE FOB ONE MONTH, during which period a discount of per cent., or 2s 6d in the £ will be returned on all cash purchases. The customers can depend upon everything being new and of good quality—not the leavings of Christchurch cheap sales or second-hand goods. The public may rely on getting something that will wear and give entire satisfaction. It must be obvious to those who study the welfare of the Peninsula that wo require to keep all the ready money we have in circulation amongst us. Where it is made let it be spent, for a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand (Shakespeare). Every one has a chance once in a lifetime, and now is the accepted time. Gather your loose dollars and purchase what you require in the Drapery line at the Criterion House. The stock is estimated to be a little under £50,000 —a thousand or two one way or the other dori't matter much. As you all very well know, money is the root of all evil, so get rid of the evil as quick as you can by spending it at Criterion House. Never mind the why or wherefore, These are facts I state, and therefore it is our duty to inform the public that our Stock of Drapery and Clothing is one of the best and largest in Akaroa, not to say anything of small towns like Christchurch or Dunedin ; and being bought in the best Home and Colonial houses, first-class quality and value is assured. We may proceed to enumerate a few of the leading lines, but were we to mention them all we should require the Akakoa Mail to be as large as the National Debt of New Zealand. Time will not suffice; therefore, without further delay, we will proceed. Once more, for the third and last time, I wish to impress on your minds and pockets the fact that you get a bonus of 2s 6d in the £ FROM THE Ist TO THE 31st OF AUGUST.
