ASTONISHING DISCOVERY. rpIIAT JOHN McLAUIN’S is the I Cheapest House in Patea for a good pair of Boots. In order to meet my engagements of the coming month, I will sell Boots 30 per cent, cheaper than heretofore. No gammon ; invoices on view. I ask any sensible person what advantage they will gain in buying boots from a Storekeeper or Draper. Do they know anything about the quality of the Boots they sell ? Decidedly no. Will they repair them if they come undone ? Why, they could not mend their own. Always buy of a man who, if the Boots he sells do not give satisfaction, will repair them for nothing. A warning to would-be Jacks of all Trades. The original Jonas, a grocer-and tea-dealer, aspired to be a Leather King. He went to Wellington to hunt for Boots, and afterwards got. bunted himself, in fact, properly hooted. After dabbling with leather, too, he has burned his fingers. He is trying to.gull honest people with a flying visit. But, Oh ! Jonas they are not to be hod. Hawcra would not have it; Wanganui would not be had ; and why think'the Patea people soft ? Good people, beware of birds of passage ; keep the money in the place by encouraging local business men, and remember , those with large families that what you buy of me I repair free of cost if they don’t give satisfaction. JOHN McLARIN, I Boot Importer ,and Manufacturer s Patea. Opposite Modl~ Office.
