'P "p L A C X |Ur. -L> has great pleasure in thanking his many customers for past favors, and now j wishes to inform them that previous to stock-taking he will hold A OHEAP0 HEAP S ALE FOR ONE MONTH, during which period a discount of per cent., or 2s Gd 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 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 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 don't matter much. As you all very well know, money is the root of all evil, so yet rid of the evil as quick as you c;in 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 wo to mention thorn all we' should require the Akaroa Mail to be as large as the National Debt of New Zealand. Time will not suffice ; therefore, without further delay, we wiii 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.
