We wish you all the Compliments of the Season. < o ■AT THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR every business man should .try and purjKlX. chase Go', i, that will give pleasure to his Customers both as regards the suitac .ablly of the artidea and the prices. While walking through the Wellington warehouses last week the advertiser was ! struck with th« desire exhibited by the managers of the different departments to dispose of stocks before Xmas. In some instances he purchased goods at half price, the consequence is he purchased some hundreds of pounds worth, and hopes to give his Customers complete satisfaction. It is an old saying "an article well lougla is halt sold." We have done the purchasing and now solicit your patronage, so that the transactions may be complete. We have great confidence in drawing your attention to our prices as we know how difficult it w«uld be for anyone on this coast to try and undersell us. For many years we have been successful (through selling reasonably), in keeping any serious opposition outside of Foxton, and now we notice the grocers are following our example, the consequences will be increased business all around, and as Foxton residents say— "WE ¥tJRGiftSE CHEAPER AT OSBORNE'S." . . o *" • Outsiders will say " We will drive into Eoxtou and get our groceries now that they are catering for our trad* and c6ia||etih».with other towns the same W? what EDMUND OSBORNE, the Draper, has been doing for •so many years; If everybody in Foxton could be induced to sell as cheaply as EDMUND OSBOENE does Foxton would become a second Wanganui." It is always gratifying to see the public appreciate one's services, and I have to thank you, one and all, for past favors and to intimate it is my desire to serve you still to the best of my ability. Wishiirig you aill a Merry Christmas. Yours obediently, EDMUND OSBORNE
