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. The comprehensive catalogue and fashion book issued by the D.1.C., Wellington, conveys some idea of the resources of the popular establishment, and renders that task of ordering by post, a pleasant one. Samples of the company's new dress materials, «Src, will be forwarded with catalogue, post free, to any address. Under this system any of the parcels advertised will be ttent to any address in New Zealand, post free, the prices charged being exactly the same as those at which the goods are sold over the counter in Wellington. As may be imagiued, 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 Bent, post free, to any address on receipt of los 9d, from Te Aro House, Wellington.
