BE. PiJScofi REMARKABLE PHENOMENON. r ~pHE climax is reached! the proX phecies are fulfilled! arc! H. B. has gone in for DKAPEKY! Encouraged by the liberal patronage he lms received iv the various departments of trade in which he has speculated, he has just added a few linos of USEFUL DRAPERY, consisting of FLANNELS BLANKETS CALIOOEB MEN'S SUITS HOSE KNITTING WOOLS COTTONS TAPES ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS hiJuk cALI &c, &c. These Goods will be sold at TjIOONOMY TT 0U S E pBICES. The following graphic sketch was drawn for the occasion by our special artist:— The burden of my rhyme, That once upon a time, To retail salt and pepper When H. B. did begin, They said that it were better That Scott would " run him in." This common little tinker, Ibis pot and kettle mender, Presumes our trade to hinder, By turning " vittles " vendor. The knowing ones did wink, And said, " What do you think ? " Before six months are out H. B. goes up the spout. Between you and me, We very soon shall see, At the price he's selling tea, He must be " up a tree." But eighteen months have come and gone Since first those solemn words were uttered, A nd now they sing another song— " On both sides H. B.s bread is buttered." It nearly makes me sneeze When I think about the news, H. B. is buying Cheese, And selling Shirts md Hose, At prices, too, most killing. Yes, true as I'm alive ! Good Braces for One Shilling, Tweed Suits at Forty-five. Oh, yes ! mid by the way,. While these sweet lines I'm penning, Methinks I hear them say, " lie's quite as bad as H—n—g." If things don't take a, turn, We'll surely some day see The " big verandah man " Created a J.P, Now, three cheers for competition (E'en Christchurch we defy) ; And " Down with imposition 1" No Moore will be the cry. So, if you want your moneys worth, And in the year save many shillings, The cheapest shop upon this earth Is ECONOMY HOUSE, kept by TT 73 ILLE NS. JL...JL* . a... / Itf.ia.X, and M.
