I say, Bill, do you mind that chat you and I had about the best place to buy our Groceries .in? • ToM.-Yes. (Bill) Well, did you try Mclowan? Yes. And how do you like him ? (Tom) Oh, there is no mistake he sells a good article, and very cheap too. I doi't think I ever got better To. than he give my Missus. He's a curious cove; he doesn't say it's the best. He just says it is very good, and lets it speak for itself. But —I think he is about the only Grocer who can say that his business still increased during all the depression we have had. Tom —Plenty wonder how he can get on so well, when so many are complaining, Bin —It's just this, Tom. He told mo himself he always buys for Ready Money, sella as quickly as possible,- and deals fairly with the public; and you know merchants as well as small traders require to meet a.bill sometimes, and they sell to McGowan as cheap as possible, to get the money. Tom.—Aye; that's what gives him the advantage. Bui.—l'll tell yon a secret, Torn; I have insured my life for £100, just from the saving effected by dealing at McGowan's, (Tom) Insured your life; gosh all Jerusalem 1 I thought • nobody but the swells insured their lives. ■ Bill.—Everybody with a wife and family ■ should, and nothing to hinder you while you deal at Mcflowan's; it only costs you a little over a shilling a week. Tom.—l took your advice in trying McGowan's, and I have found the advantage. I will think of this too, 'cause I would like to leave something for the wife and youngsters, and noboJy knows when an accident might happen. Bin.—Here's Charley. How goes it Charley 2 All right. What about the Town Council'» Charley.—Oh, they have given us the first instalment of their wisdom in voting nearly as much salaries as tho Auckland Council, with rateable property more than ten times the value of our 3. ■' Bill.—That's pretty hot for a start,—Hot, why ? There will be more yet. There is nothing for the Fire Brigade, nor for the Mayor. (Bill) Well, the Mayor deserves a honorarium. " Tom.—Sure they'll makesomething out of the sweepings, sewerage, and nightsoil.—(Charley) A good idea, Tom; but its just a question whether they will have the sense to make any- i thing out of it. Bill.—Would it sell here ?—Charley: Sell I ' why it's just what will ,be wanted; are we always to have a lot of stale vegetables coming E from Auckland ? It should be put up in heaps [ somewhere and sold every spring. I Tom.—Let's have a smoke. Have you any [ tobacco, B''!l?~Bill: No; we'll be passing | McGOWAN'S, and can get some good tobacco | there. — | ffi Best Bread delivered daily from Mo9owan'bJ Bakery, I
