DRAPERY. OBSERVED FACTS. UNQUESTIONED AND UNCONTRADICTED. THAT FROM VARIOUS CAUSES THE DRAPERY ESTABLISHMENT or ■J£IRKPATRICK, AND CO. HAS BECOME THE FAVORITE ONE. That, receiving a continuous supply of Manufactures from the Old Country, their place of business has been aptly described as an INEXHAUSTIBLE STOREHOUSE. That by the adoption of their modern system of trading, the people of New Zealand can CLOT RE BETTER AND FURNISH BETTER FoR LESS MONEY THAN FORMERLY. That, the new Tariff has not yet increased the selling price of any kind of poods they deal in; but, on the contrary, they sell many articles, such as Men’s and Boys’ Hats, Caps, Tics, Collars. Alloa Socks, Rugs, Bags, Portmanteaus, Millinery, Crinolines, Dress Improvers, Pads, Costumes, Ball and Evening Dresses, Frilliugs, Ruchirgs, and innumerable other articles infinitely lower than in the past. That they do not import that comparatively useless class of troods generally ahi j pod to the Colonies ; and it is agreed that the freshness and excellence of their wares possess a characteristic value of their own. That, being content with small profits, and to make sure of a large and increasing business, they offer to all Retail Purchasers every description of First-class Goods in any length or quantity at Wholesale importers’ Prices. That their Black Silks are celebrated near and far for wear. That they hold the largest and best assorted stock in the Colony of Colored Silks, Satins, Irish Poplins, Dress Materials, Skirts, Umbrellas, Sunshades, Flowers, Ribbons, Laces, Trimmings, Hosiery, Gloves, Haberdashery, and Fancy Articles. That for Mantles, Jackets, Polonaises, and Capes they stand unrivalled. That their Dressmaking, Mantlemaking, and Millinery Departments are distinguished above all others for Novelty, Style, Taste, and Fashion. That their Underclothing and Stays are unapproachable in point of excellence and value. That their superior Household Furnishings—Blankets, Flannels. Carpets—direct from the makers, are found by comparison to be the most moderate in price. That those who covet the real old make of Everlasting Irish Poplins can purchase them at K., G., and Go ’s in black and all the leading colors. —Ample chcice. That||their Ready-made Men’s and Boys’ Clothing, from Melbourne, Loudon, Bristol, and notably from their own Factory, are acknowledged to be by far the best and cheapest in Dunedin. That they are always fortunate in. securing Real Bargains—often at less than half price. That ic is almost unnecessary to remark that nothing can be lost, but much gained, by a visit to their Establishment, as all the objects of desire in Dress and Household Furnishing can be obtained fresher, purer, better, cheaper, than can be had at Secondhand Warehouses.

That their Home Buyer, from the practical knowledge he possesses of the trade and requirements of the New Zealand market, is invaluable and unerring in supplying them with the best Drapery ac the least possible cost, thus placing the firm in a prominent position to command the notice and gain the patronage of ail consumers. That, in these dear times, owing to those wh * unfortunately had to land stock during the last two mouths, the above facts are seen to the best advantage. PRESENT SPECIAL LINES FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Ist.
