< airwrr" ■■■ ■»»»" —^ .Well-dressed Men—Among those ; habitual errors of conduct which are common , in both careful and careless persons, not one , is more often met with than disregard of the . advantages derivable from being well dressed; !_ yet whoever lives observantly in such a " County as Patea, is soon convinced that this < mistake is fruitful of mischievous results. All of us instinctively judge from first impressions; 1 we proceed from the exterior to the interior; a well-dressed man gratifies our fondness for beauty and our appreciation of,oeatnft.sst_’aiwi:.however cynical or unobservant, but is pleased when a well-dressed person, even if a stranger, passes by, and disposed to think favorably of him. This universal disposition cannot safely.be offended. To be habitually a sloven is to constantly, ' though unconsciously, offend numerous per- . sons, among whom the favour of some may be valuable; and therefore a shrewd nian is not content to make himself neat now and then, ‘ but always will appear well dressed. He keeps his clothes in good order, and is careful in the selection of a tailor. In bringing this maxim before public notice, 11. A. Adams, Cardigan House, is gratified by remembering that the disposition ' of a great many of his customers to appear in. ‘ public well dressed has been met by the com- , bination in his goods of selection, material, good fit, and low price. He obtains bis cloths in the most advantageous markets; he employs first-class cutters and workmen; he avoids obsolete fashions; and he is content with moderate profits in the place of the exorbitant percentage which only a few years ago was . universal, and still is frequent in the tailoring ‘ trade. His gloves, hats, shirts, hosiery, ties, and scarfs, are also such as will please the most fastidious. Whatever experience, capital, ’ care, and good taste can effect on the tradesman’s side, is done by R. A. Adams, in order that all, his customers may realise the sub- . stantial advantages of being well-dressed; and that his efforts give satisfaction, is shown by the rapid and steady increase in the number of those who deal with him. Attentive to the changes of costume necessitated by varying seasons, and of style by the dictatee of fashion, K. A. Adams has now on ■ hand a large and carefully selected stock of . cloths suitable for all seasons.—E. A. ADAMS | Cardigan House, Carlyle.— advt.
