IS. XSillutirt REMARKABLE PHENOMENON. fJj climax is reached ! the proJL phecies are fulfilled ! arcl H. B. has gone in for DEAPEET! Encouraged by the liberal patronage he lias received in the various departments of trade in which he has speculated, he has just added a few lines o* USEFUL DHAPEIIY, consisting of FLANNELS BLANKETS CALICOES MEM'S SUITS HOSE KNITTING WOOLS COTTONS TAPES ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS ROCK SALT &c, &c. These Goods will be sold at ■ECONOMY TT 0U S E PRICES. 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, Ihis 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, Wo very soon shall see, At the price lie's selling tea, He must be " up a tree." But eighteen months have como 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 ! and by the way, While these sweet lines I'm penning, Methinks I hear them say, " He's quite as bad as li—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 PILLENS. Kf.25.3L. and JIB..
