J. McDowell and Co. offer special advantages that can be met with nowhere else in the city. They keep at all times the largest and best assorted stock of every class of goods, imported direct from the leading manufacturers of Great Britain and Ireland, which, being bought on the most advantageous terms, enables them to offer goods of sterling qualities at prices that cannot be improved on by any house In the trade. Every article is marked at a Axed price that cannot be deviated from, for ready money, from which there is no deviation ; so that inexperienced people are as well served as the best judges; the terms being net cash, without rebate or abatement of any kind. A full description of stock can be obtained from our catalogues and advertisement. Note the address—Opposite the Bank of New Zealand, corner of Larabton-quay and Willis-street, Welling on.— Advt,
