AEE POSITIVELY THE BEST WITHOUT EXCEPTION Ceylon and. B 1 end e d

An Explicit Explanatfoii. Seeing tlie town aflame with red, and every draper (like the frog who tried to blow himself ont to the size of a bull) trying to outblowhis brother draper over their wonderful clearing sales, many of our customers have been enquiring -when we intend holding our sale, and why, under the cii’cumstances, we are content to remain quiet, arid make no sign ? We beg to inform them that we shall hold our sale at the usual tinie, early in August, immediately after stocktaking, when to everythirig we desire to clear, the sacrificial knife will be applied with yigour, and will cut very deep. We have no inebriation or desire te emulate the usual system of what is termed working up the agony by the aid of mythical purchases of gigantic, antique, and fossil stocks at fabulously low prices, supposititious fires, shipwrecks, trumpery alteration's, or ariy paltry reason to serve as a peg to hang the usual chronic eruption of a socalled cheap clearing sale on, sales that renew themselves regularly every month or two, rearing aloft in such stupendous and luxuriant growth, and on such slender foundations that makes the average beholder dizzy to contemplate them. Even firms of repute, fearing amidst the diri and dust of the petty warfare raging, to be overlooked or left out in the cold, lose their heads, and in their desire to emulate give untimely birth to their usual semi-annual eruption of white-wash, paperhanging, and red agony. . Our Groods are all fresh and sound, and our ordinary prices will favourably compare with the best of the so-called cheap .sales. Tliomson & Beattie. THE EXHIBITION. TEEMS - SET PROMPT CASH.
