DRAPERY. OBSERVED FACTS. < UNQUESTIONED AND UNCONTRADICTED. THAT FROM VARIOUS CAUSES THE DRAPERY ESTABLISHMENT OF JJIRKPATEICK, AND CO. HAS BECOME THE FAVORITE ONE. That, receiving a continuous supply of Manufactures from -the Old Country, their place of business ha ( a been aptly described as an INEXHAUSTIBTuE STOREHOUSE. That by the adoption of their modern system of trading, the people of New Zealand can CLOTHE BETTER AND FURNISH BETTER FOR LESS MONEY THAN FORMERLY. That, the new Tariff has not yet increased the selling price of any kind of goods they deal in; but, on the contrary, they sell many articles, such as Mon’s and Boys’ Hats, Caps, Ties, Collars. Alloa Socks, Rugs, Bags, Portmanteaus, Millinery, Crinolines, Dress Improvers, Pads, Costumes, Ball and •' veniug Dresses, FriiMngs, Ruchings, and innumerable other articles infinitely lower than in the past. That they do not import that comparatively useless class of oods generally shi| pod to the Colonies ; and it is agreed that the freshness and excellence of their wares possess a characteristic vai’ue 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 Fir st-class Goods in any length or quantity at Wholesale Importers’ Prices That their Black Sillas 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 nnrivalled. That their I dressmaking, Mantlemaking, and Millinery Departments are distinguished above all others for Ncrvelty, Style, Taste, and Fashion. That their Underclothing and Stays are unapproachable in point of excellence and value. That their superior Household Furnishings—Blankets, Flannel’s, Carpets —direct .from the makers, are f« >und by comparison to be the most moderate :in price. That those who covet t he real old make of Everlasting Irish Poplins can purchase them at K., G., and Co’s in black and all the leading colors.—Ample chc ice. Thatjtheir Ready-made Men’s and Boys Clothing, from Melbourne# Loudon, Bristol, and notably from their owe. Factory, are acknowledged to be by fair the best and cheapest in Dunedin. That they are always fortumate in securing Real Bargains—often at less than half price. That it is almost unneceesary to remark that nothing can be lost, but mu>-b gained, bv 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 all consumers. That, in these dear times, owing to those wh« unfortunately had to land stock during the last two months, the above facts are seen to the best advantage. PRESENT SPECIAL LINES FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Ist.
