The cus- ) tomers can depend upon everything being new and of good quality—not the leavings of Christchurch cheap sales 01 second-hand goods. The public may i rely on getting something that will wear 3 and give entire satisfaction. r It must be obvious to those who study \ the welfare of the Peninsula that we require to keep all tbe ready money we , have in circulation amongst us. Where p it is made lot 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 n little under £50,000 —-a thousand or two one way or the other don'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 ono 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 loading lines, but were we to mention them all we should require the Akaroa Mail to be as large as the National Debt of New Zealand. Time will not suffice; therefore, without farther 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 81st OF AUGUST.
