Drapery. T I C T 0 R I A HOUSE, (Opposite the Bank of New Zealand), LAMBTON-QUAY & WILLIS-STREET. I J. MCDOWELL & CO. beg to inform their Customers and the public generally that they have jußt completed large alterations to their premises, which affords them a very large extent of room throughout their establishment generally, and also the. additional space of a gallery over the drapery departments anr 1 - gallery over the clothing and outfitting depa ments. In making these extensive alterations they have boon able to carry out a double purpose, namely, to give EXTENDED SHOP AND WAREHOUSE ACCOMMODATION, And at the same time so arrange their newshop lights that the most delicate colorings can be selected independent of ordinary weather changes, their new lights being most complete in that respect. '• j. Mcdowell and co. Have therefore very great pleasure in calling attention to their , •' SUMMER SHIPMENTS, The whole of which have just been opened up during and since the completion of the alterations, as underneath :—Ex ship Rodney, ex ship Halcione, ex ship Kinfauns Castle, ex ship Border Chief, ex Mail Steamer. j In addition to the above, we have received by the ships Howrah, St. Leonards, and b.s. Great Britain, all of which have arrived, a second series of shipments, consisting of up- i wards of one hundred packages of very choice and carefully selected goods , SUITABLE FOR THE APPROACHING ! HOLIDAY SEASON, So that we offer a larger and more complete stock in every department than we have ever exhibited during any previous season. We would, therefore, ask our customers, heads of families, settlers, and visitors to Wellington to inspect our stock before making their season's purchases, as our stock is admittedly the largest in the province, and our study is to supply goods of the most modem description AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE RATES OF PROFIT. Our purchases being in a great measure direct from the manufacturers, avoiding ii charges, and being under the supei.i buyer of large and recent New Zei perience, places us in possession of goods of the most modern description, and of good and durable quality at prices that must prove satisfactory to the purchaser. j.
