We wish you all the Compliments of the Season. o AT THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR every business man should try and purchase Goods that will give pleasure to his Customers both as regards the suitaabily of the articles 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 fcef#re Xmas. In some instances he purchased goods at half price, the cdnsequence is he purchased some hundreds of pounds worth, and hopes to give his Customers complete satisfaction. It is an old saying "an article well 10-uglt is halt sold." We havfc 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 weuld 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 i residents say— "WE PURCHASE CHEAPER AT OSBORNE'S." o Outsiders will say " We will drive into Foxton and get our groceries now that they are catering for our | trad* and competing with other towns the same as what EDMUND OSBORNE, the Draper, has been doin» for I so many y«ats. If everybody in Foxton qould be induced to sell as choaply as EDMUND OSBORNE 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. v Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Yours obediently, EDMUND OSBORNE.
