Strangers paying a visit to Wellington, and country settlers arriving in town, are very often at a loss to know which is the best house or cheapest general drapery establishment to visit for buying drapery and clothing. J. McDowell and Co. offer special advantages. 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 fixed price that cannot be deviated from, so that inexperienced people can buy equally with the best judges; the terms being 5 per cent, discount on all sums of £2 and upwards, and 2£ per cent, on all accounts settled monthly; on all quarterly accounts or statements, no reduction. We consider that cash buyers are entitled to the above discount, and have adopted the above as a permanent system with our customers. A full description of stock can be obtained from our catalogues and Advertisement. Note the address—Opposite the Bank of New Zealand, corner of Lamb-ton-quay and Willis-street.
