Ap Open Letter ; Tlie Exhibition, TO OUR CUSTOMERS,— 14th August, 1893. We tender you our sincere and hearty thanks for the more than liberal manner in which you have patronised us during our Clearing Sale. We are pleased to inform, you it has been one of the most successful sales we have ever h id. This is specially gratifying to us, as this result has been attained without the aid of any of the blatant and vapouring advertising so common of late, and that, although our fellow draper's have been holding clearing sales at all seasons and under’ all circumstances, you have so freely responded to the announcement of our sale, held at its proper and legitimate time. It has also been a pleasure to, us to be informed by so many of you that we always do better than we advertise, and that you rely on our sale as the genuine one in Invercargill. We are now busy opening out our Sprang- Shipments (personally selected ir\ 81-itain by our Mr John Thomson) Beautiful Goods, and exceptionally well bought. We firing' believe that our display of Mantles, Millinery, and Dresses this season will for Style, Quality and Value, surpass anything we have ever yet shown. We shall hold our Spring Show (of which you will be duly advised) at the usual time, near the middle of September. We find this the most suitable time for our Customers, and the public always wait to see our selection before purchasing. We would just say that any reduced Dress Goods, Millinery, Jackets, Ulsters, or Furs left over from the sale, will not be put into stock, but will be sold to anyone requiring them at the reduced prices. Faithfully yours, THOMSON & BEATTIE.
