Special Notice. —R. Hobbs considers it necessary to inform the public of his reasons for withdrawing his advertisements from the daily papers. He is so thoroughly.disgusted with the lengths some parties have gone to in the advertisement line, that he does not intend to advertise after this notice, until an alteration takes place. As to the system of advertising goods at " catching," or very low prices, R. H. would simply remark, that it is no test of value, as the quality must be seen to test the value. Should R. H. at any time advertise any special line, of which he may have bought a large quantity, the public may rely that the quality is good ; and he will not be ashamed to forward patterns to an)' part of the province, post free ; and buyers niay depend on getting the goods according to pattern. R. H. has yet to find that any man in Auckland can buy or sell cheaper than he can, notwithstanding all the absurd and very questionable pretensions of some houses.—R. Hobbs, Wholesale and Retail Draper, Queen and Wakefield-streets.—[Advt.]
