DRAPERY. OBSERVED FACTS. UNQUESTIONED AND-; S^CONTRAv r _....... DICTED.' V;' /‘ . ; THAT PROM VARIOUS CAUSES, THE ; *: . DRAPERY ESTA BLI S H MENT OF J£IRKPATRICK, LENDINING, 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 • v , r . :l , INEXHAUSTIBLE STOREHOUSE. r. That by the adoption of their modern system of trading, the .people of New Zea* land can CLOTHE BETTER AND FURNISH BETTER PoR 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 Men’s ani Boys’ Hats, Caps, Ties, Cpllars A Boa Socks,. Rugs, Bags, Portmanteaus, Millinery j Crinolinesi Dress Improvers, Pads, Costumes, Ball and evening Dresses, Friilings, -Ruchings, and in* numerable .other articles infinitely lower than in the past. That they do’-not import that comparatively uselessi class of goods generally ehi| ped to .the Colonies ; and it is .agreed that the freshness and‘excellence of their' wares pbssess 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. n . 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, arid 1 Millinery f 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. " l ' 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 covetithe- real /old make of Everlasting Irish-Poplins can' them at K., G.,and CoV in black and all the 1 leading colors —Ample choice.^' ■■■' Thatjtheir Ready-made' Men’s and. Boys’ Clothing, from' Melbourne, London, Bristol; and notably .from their own Factory, ape 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, i hat it is almost unnecessary to remark that nothing qan be lost, but, m.u hj gained, bv a visit to their Establishment, as all the obj. cts of desire in Dress and Household Furnishing can be obtained fresher, purer, better, cheaper, than can be had at Secondhand Warehouses. j 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 a; the least possible cost, thus placing the firm iu a prominent position to command .the notice and gain the patronage of all consumers. ' That, in these dear times, owing to those who 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.
