CLEARING SALE!! /H -Q L A C X has great pleasure in thanking his many customers for past favors, and now wishes to inform them that previous to stock-taking he will hold A o" AP S A " FOR ONE MONTH, during which period a discount of I.2ij, per cent., or 2s 6d in the £ will be returned on all cash purchases. The cus-1 tomers can depend upon everything I being new and of good quality—not the i leavings of Christchurch cheap pales or second-hand goods. The public may j rely on getting something that will we-tr j and give entire satisfaction. j It must be obvious 6 to those who study • the welfare of the Peninsula that we 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 dolL.rs and purchase what you require in the Drapery line at the Criterion House. Tho stock is estimated to be a 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 ai CriterioiVHouse, 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 Akaron, not to Ray 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 Akahoa Mail to be as largo 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 Gd in the £ FROM THE Ist TO THE 31st OF AUGUST.
