~ : Dress and Fashion* ' Tj .EVV new countries of the same size and population, enjoyjhe immense advantages' JL now accorded to the purchasing public in country parts of this Province. This is well illustrated by the mode in which the Drapery and Clothing House of R. H. ABBOTT & CO., Auckland, is conducted. This firm buy their goods direct from British manufacturers and from localhnills. Every half-year they publish their price list .for theehsuihgseason, and abide by it. Their principle is to do an'immense turnover at a fractional profit, their goods are consequently! priced Jat a figure that no competition can cut tinder. 'That very marked success should attend such efforts is as natural as water finding its own level. These facts, accompanied by price lists, were laid before the country public six months ago, accompanied by the intimation"that orders of over £1 in value would be sent carriage free. . To meet their large and rapidly-extending trade, R. 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. Those country settlers who'have not yet given R. H. Abbott’s Special Parcel System a trial will, we make bold to say, on opening the first Parcel, be agreeably surprised, and will regret having so long paid considerably higher prices for goods neither so, good, reliable, or new.
