Drapery. PRINCES STREET. RAP E R Y IN furtherance of Doing Business on a method I believe quite new to the Province of New Zealand, and especially that of Otago, and accordin'! well with a system which for several yetrs I uniformly adopted in the Australian Colonies, proving eminently successful, greatly to the advantage of Purchasers, and answering the view of the Seller, I purpose offering the Residue of my prasent opened Stock at prices considerably reduced, shewing discounts varying from 20 per cent, to 65 per cent.

THE offering of Goods quite New, Modern in Style, and combined improvements of manufacture, all of which have been so recently imported at Reduced Prices, notwithstanding the value at which they have been sold heretofore, and the marked contrast with Colonial Prices ruling in Dunedin, is a method of business which colonial merchants may possibly won tier at, but a man who buys his Goods well, and knows how to select them and pays for them in cash, has a perfect right to sell them at whatever price he may think proper, and therefore, in deference to the kind Patronage accorded me by the Ladies of Otago since landing in Dunedin, I have now resolved to ! make Reductions on Surplus Stock, the special object in view being to hold over no Stock that may be quitted or disposed of.

WHEN Men in Business calculate with that nicety and certainty the expense at which they can carry out their arrangements, and command facilities in their transactions, as well as attain certain objects by a Moderate Outlay, they are naturally induced to regard the means as a part of the necessary success, and adopt them accordingly.
