Drapery. T I C T O R I A HOUSE, (Opposite the Bank of New Zealand), LAMBTON-QUAY & WILLIS-STEEET. J. MCDOWELL & CO. beg to inform their n „=t™„. «r„} tj, e public generally that they pleted 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 and a gallery over the clothing and outfitting departments. In making these extensive alterations they have been able to carry out a double purpose, namely, to give EXTENDED SHOP AND WAREHOUSE ACCOMMODATION, And at the same time so arrange their new shop 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 Bodney, ex ship Halcione, ex ship Kinfauns Castle, ex ship Border Chief, ex Mail Steamer. In addition to the above, we have received by the ships Howrah, St. Leonards, and s.s. Great Britain, all of which have arrived, a second series of shipments, consisting of upwards of one hundred packages of very choice and carefully selected goods SUITABLE FOB THE APPROACHING HOLLDAY 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 modern description AT THE LOWEST POSSIBLE BATES OF PROFIT. Our purchases being in a great measure direct from the manufacturers, avoiding intermediate charges, and being under the super*-" 5 ™ "* - buyer of large and recent New '. perience, places us in possession of ; most modern description, and of good durable quality at prices that must pi _. _ satisfactory to the purchaser. j.
