T. Si WYMOND & CO. : iij •'■ c X;P-l'a'n a ; t io n ; IN reference to the Advertisement of Weblet Bboihbrs, cftutioniner 'ha public against " onr Nelson Tweed Trowsehs and Vests for 308," bur Advertisement shou <i huve read "Imitation Nelson Tweed Ttowsers and Vests 305," the word •" imitation " whs omitted (accidentally) by <ur clerk in copying it from a rough pencil memorandum. We beg to state that it was very Jar from our intention to represent them as being made up from their Tweeds ; but;ralher to have implied that we have produced a superior class of goods in every, respect;, made to our own order, to compete in lesitimate competition with Nelson Tweeds The " excell'-nce of our goods has been confirmed by ■competent judges (.not interested ones) who assure us that they are betrer ■ finished, and more to the popular taste than the goods from which they were copied. The Public must now judge between our Goods at 30s, and the Webley's »t their prioe; our principle being;' free trade and no monopoly,the latter having been the ruin oi Nelson. T. S. W. Sr Co. would add that they snail always endeavor to act Jairly and honorably with all who trade with them — selling at all times at the smallest remunerative prices, in spite of all the petty opposition they meet with. As to the " Spurious Imitation," we are prepared to give a guarantee ot durability with •' Our Nelson Tweed" Clothing. T. S. WYMOND & CO. Nelson, October 29, 1872. 2315 CRICKET BATS ! CRICKET BATS !

At the Old Stand. 2303 CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. fTIHE Undersigned beg respectfully to -■- inform the public of Nelson, that the READY-MADE CLOTHING- now advertised by Messbs. WYMOND & CO.,aatbe production of our -well-known "LOCAL INDUSTKY," is but a SPURIOUS IMITATION of the TWEED MANUFACTURED BY US. WEBLEY BROTHERS. ■WYMOND AND CO.'S EXPLANATION. P.S. — The explanation advanced by Messrs. Wymond anp Co, to our minds, is by no mean 8 satisfactory. Granted that by inserting the word IMITATION the latter part ot the advertisement is disposed of, there is still the former part of the advertisement to account for, — namely, "To of Local Industry." How the importation and sale of foreign goods can be called a branch of " Local Industry," we are at a loss to understand. We still believe it was the intention of .the Advertisers to palm off their goods upon the public as genuine Nelson Tweed With reference to quality and durability, perhaps the best argument in proof of the superiority of our Tweeds is to be found in the fact that they have been bo universa'ly imitated. We leave the matter wiih the public to judge who is right in this matter. 2302 mHE COMPETITION for RIFLE PRIZES A to be given by the PHOVTtfi IAL GOVERNMENT of NELSON, for the year 1872, vill commence on MONDAY, the ißih November, instant.
