To Mr C. F. HOLMES, Tent, Hose* and Oil-skin Maker, Kumara, Sift—You stated to me when yoil took my order for OiUskin Coats for myself 1 and Mr Glllbanka, that the articles would be much superior to anything of the kind I had ever seen before. 1 desire to inform you that t have used oil-skins for the last Sixteen years, but I never found any to answer so well as yours. They are thoroughly waterproof, and are comfortable to walk in. It is a matter of surprise to me that you have not advertised such admirable articles, as I feel convinced that they need only to be known to be extensively Worn. Reference to Mr Passmore, farmer, Teremakau, or to Mr Gillbank, will prove that I have not overstated the case.—l am, sir, yours truly, Johit Wills.

Notice to ground sluicers In particular And to the public at large. I should have advertised before, but •• the late Are disabled me from supplying any great demand at the time when I ; was made aware that my OILSKINS: were in reality superior to any evei? • seen or known before.
