QIL- SK I N COATS. To Mr C. P. HOLMES, Tent, Hose,' and Oil-skin Maker, Kuraara. Sir —You stated to rne when you took my order for Oihakin Coats for myself and Mr Gillbanks, that the articles would be much superior to anything of the kind I had ever seen before. I desire to inform you that I 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, Johx Wills.

VTOTICE TO GROUND SLUICERS iA In particular, And to the public at large. I should have advertised before, but the late fire disabled me from supplying any great demand at the time when I was made aware that my OILSKINS were in reality superior to any ever seen or known before. But lamin a position to supply OIL-SKIN SUITS, HYDRAULIC HOSE, TENTS, MATTRASSBS, AND SOU’-WESTERS, All of my own make. I shall be glad if mj customers who feel satisfied will give me a written acknowledgment of their belief in the superiority of my improved article. TAR OIL, and SEWING MACHINES, Always on hand. C. F.
