One of the drawbacks of country life, at least to the Bnmll settler, is undoubtedly the increased price he has to pay for any articles of clothing or gem ral drapery, by reason of tho extra charges for freight or carriage. This drawback need exist no longer, for extra charges are done away with under the new parcel system which has been inaugurated at Te'Aro House, Wellington.

Under this system any of the parcels advertised will be S'-nt to any addivss in New Zealand, post free, the prices charged being exactly the same as > hose at which the goods are sold over the counter in Wellingtpn. As may be imagined, however, this liberal offer is only extended to cash customers, and all orders for advertised parcels must be accompanied by cash for the. 'amount, before the order can be executed at Te Aro House, Wellington. In illustration of the system we will give an example. Take for instance No. 7 parcel, which contains 7 yards of double width stylish fancy check tweed ; 2 dozen buttons and silk and twist to match ; 2 yards of body lining and 4 yards of skirt lining. This complete parcel will be sent, post •free, to any' address on receipt of 15s 9d, from Te Aro House, Wellington.
