The bulk Stock held over from last season will give you an immense advantage over those requiring to buy now, as the advance on heavy woollen such as Blankets, flannels, &c., is enormous. J £##* * # * * “ Your increased orders have caused all difficulties in the way of going to the fountainhead entirely to vanish, and now I venture to say that no Arm can get readier access to all desirable people. ... I believe everything going out this season will bear favorable comparison with anything reaching your market. . There is no earthly reason why you should not compete successfully with any wholesale house in New /-ealandm the matter of value. “JACKETS AND SHAWLS. —By this mail you will receive six oases, one of which contains the very latest styles. The mantles are very richly trimmed this season.” “ MILLINERY, as you will see, is from the leading French establishments, and ought to be all that can be desired.” “STRAW GOODS, tho’ vastly in excess of orders, must be right. . . . I never saw cheaper goods. ... By Charlotte Gladstone you should soon have one portion of the 20,000 Hats before mentioned. They are a desperate bargain, and ought to do you B ° o<i “ RIBBONS.—Tho new colors, so recently considered ugly by many, are now all the rage. A full variety has been sent. Watered ribbons will be much worn.” “ FURS, having been bought in summer, are fully a fourth under present prices.” “SILKS.— More than usual attention has this season been given to this line. The Blacks, in particular, you will find are exceptionally good value. You may safely warrant every qqODS.-Bradford, London, Glasgow, &c., have been carefully gone through, where the best value and most suitable goods were secured wherever met with. You will find some very choice things amongst it.” “WINCEYS and SKIRTINGS.—Of these, Mr Ewing seems to have made some very large and satisfactory purchases in Aberdeen, Perth, &c. j but upon these and other Goods purchased in his tour, he will no doubt make his own report. “PAPER MODELS.—These life-size Models represent the very newest designs in Dresses, Mantles, Jackets, Tunics, &c., &c., made specially for you.” “FANCY GOODS.—Everything new, pretty, and seasonable has been sent in Clouds, Scarfs, Gloves, Collarettes, Real Crochet, New Laces, Belts, Falls, Fair Nets and Rolls, tc., &c.
