TFedical, Ac. Apothecaries' Hall, Dee street, Invercargill, November 6, 1573. To our numerous Constituents, — JI7HILE bringing before our friends intimation of the signal success of our endeavors to place luvercargill on the same footing as other chief towns of New Zealand, by direct importation from Horne — giving a most important desideratum, as it does — the guarantee of genuineness of all Patent Medicines, &c, vended at our establishment (which, by recent information, is more and more necessary, it being well known that many fictitious Patent Medicines are being made in the neighboring Colonies by unscrupulous persons, and vended through agents in this, as well as all other large centres of population, through the medium of unwary storekeepers, hawkers, &c ) can confidently be relied upon. It should be remembered that while working for the interests of the community in this particular, it can only be rendered still more successful by the units of population each assisting, so that the consumption may be more and more concentrated, and greater facilities placed in the possession of those who are working out the problem of self-reliance, and actually helping those who live around us, instead of being completely dependent upon others, who must reap a large intermediate profit, which is always invested elsewhere, instead of in our midst. We therefore, whilst intimating that we have several fresh direct shipments coming forward f commend these matters to careful cansi leration , believing as we do that we will deserve your increased support, and returning thanks for that already received, we would draw your attention to the following facts, Subscribing ourselves, JOSEPH HATCH & CO. MEMORANDA. Whilst the new ad valorem duty has been particularly heavy upon our line, no corresponding advance has been made in our prices. The various local industries in which we have thought proper to invest, have given us opportunities to transact business in some other branches with Agriculturists, Sheep-farmers, &c, on far better terms than any other house. In connection with our Fishing Trade, we can confidently recommend our Seal Oil as a very reasonable substitute for Castor Oil for axles, &c, as also the best Oil for harness, at one-half the price of Neatsfoot. A LIMITED QUANTITY STILL ON HAND. Facili'ies at our disposal give us the best opportunity to supply all agriculturists for this immediate season (to be delivered at the end of this month), at the lowest price for cash, or terms as agreed, with the finest marketable BONE DUST obtainable, delivered at the Railway Station, Invercargill, or at Riverton, orders for which must be immsdiately given, as there will be but one consignment, PER SCHOONER " AWARUA." And on this head we would wish to intimate to all householders, &c, that at an early date a BONE MILL will be established by us. Arrangements will be completed to purchase to any extent that useful adjunct to agricultural progress. Communications are requested from all districts, so that the only drawback, namely, the fear of not being able to get a sufficient quantity to work a Mill any length of time in each year, may be overcome. Waggoners will be negotiated with in respect of return freight from stations and outlying districts. CALVERT'S CARBOLIC ACID SHEEP DIP can bo obtained in large or small quantities — quality guaranteed — of which we are the largest importers and holders. We have a few surplus tons of COARSE SALT on sale. Two and five gallon KEGS, quite new, can be obtained by early application. JOSEPH HATCH & CO., DIRECT IMPORTERS, Wholesalb and Retaii , DRUGGISTS, AND DISPENSING CHEMISTS, DEE STREET, INVERCARGILL. THE Mercantile Interest and Capitalists of the Southland District are requested to meet Mr J. Hatch at the Council Hall, .Kelvinstreet, on Tuesday evening, 31th inst. Chair to be taken at 8 o'clock precisely.
