LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— IT la a well known facts that in a large city like Christchurch many bo called “Selling Off Sales" occur which are “UH9|4l SHAMS,” simply got up for the purpose - of getting rid of the accumulated OLO STOCK of YEARS, with the usual Stale Announcement of “ Compulsory Sole ” Effort,” “Stock Taking Clearances,” •* Ar rival of New Goods " &c., &c. A few minutes’ calm reflection will be sure to convince you that these “ Selling Off Houses” have IMMENSE BENTS and EXPENSES to pay, which, mark you, mnit come direct from the POCKET of the CUSTOMER. And last, but not least, remains the startling fact that LARGE SHOPS cannot be built oui; of LOSSES.

Having thus, I trust, brought your minds into a condition to discriminate between the SHAM and the REAL, you will at once recognise that it is a well known fact that I have NO OLD STOCK ; that my Expenses are ALMOST NOTHING; that I have started in Kiver’a Buildings only four months ; that my Purchases have been FOR CASH ; that my Shop la Crammed with GOODS, bought at a great loss to the Importer ; while hundreds of my Customers every day exclaim : “ What on earth do you intend to do with all your Cheap Goods? ’ My answer is; “I Must Sell, for a Large Stock of Spring Stuff has been ordered, and is now on the water.” Iherofore every Article in my shop, from a Hairpin to a Bonnet, and from a Bonnet to a Blanket, I shall offer during July and Angust at HALF ENGLISH COST PRICE, in order to make the necessary room. Delay, therefore, purchasing your Drapery and Clothing till you come to CHURCH and Inspect my Stock, when the literal trnth of my assertions must force itself on yonr minds, and you will not only purchase yourself, but Induce yonr friends also to do so. Yours faithfnlly, C. B. CHURCH, The Cash Draper, Kiver’s Buildings, Cashel street N.B.—A Present of a Lady’s or Child’s Black Straw Bat to every Customer, fee Band Bills for Prices, also Wanted Known In “Star.” 1085
