— THE — CENTEE OF COMMERCE, FOXTON. DURING my visit to Wellington for the purpose of selec'iug Guods, and engaging a Firstclass Cutter and Tailor, I was fortunate in securing the latter in every sense of the word. He has held for years the highest position as a Tailor and Cutter that any man in New Zealand can attain to, viz., the foreman in the leading Tailoring establishment in the colony (Messrs Brown and Ewing, of Dunedin). I have offered sufficient inducement for him to come and manage my Tailoring Department. I trust "that my endeavours to meet the better class of trade will be appreciated by those who are really desiring a first-class article. We would like a few good orders immediately, so that the style and workmanship may serve as an advertisement for our Christmas trude, which is very promising at present. If convenient kindly call during the day to select patterns as ) amp-light is deceiving. OUR Spring Goods HAVE ARRIVED AT THE CENTRE OF COMMERCE. EDMUND OSBORNE. FOXTON RACING CLUB. STJIVTIvrEF?
