This is well illustrated by the mode in which the Drapery and' Clothing House of It. H. ABBOTT & CO., Auckland, is conducted. This firm buy their goods direct from British manufacturers and from local mills. Every half-year they publish their price list for the ensuing season, and abide by it. Their principle is to do an^immense turnover at a fractional profit, their goods are consequently priced at a figure that no competition can cut under, That very marked success should attend such efforts is as natural as water finding its own level.

To meet their large and rapidly-extending trade, K. H. Abbott & Co. have imported for the ensuing.Summer Season enormous shipments of goods, eclipsing both in variety and value anything yet attempted by them.
