General Notices — 'XMAS— AT IctiOWAN'S. Important Notice. TI/TOST People are aware that I do not give 'XMAS BOXES. I propose doing a better thing, viz., for ONE MONTH to present a MAGNIFIGIEHT CHROMOGRAPH | meaiuring 24118 inches, to Every Purchaser of ONE POUND of my Celebrated ■3s. Tea. How it can be done. I devote a considerable sum annually to advertising, utiA tbie proposal will return to my patrons a share of the profits of the advertisements,; they receiving, in the form of a really good picture, that which in the ordinary course would go to the newspapers. How it is to pay me. To reap a harvest, somebody must sow, and run the risk attendant upon a crop. I expect the harvest from the increasing number of people who will try my 3s. Tea, and, having once found the superior quality thereof, they will use none other. Why I do it. Because the people who give me their money are better entitled to a share of the profits than the newspapers, who simply advertise for me. TEA IS MY SPECIALITY —MY HOBBY. | 3s. TEA <^§ • .

Nothing of the kind has ever been introduced in N.Z., and the system that will be carried out in this and future drawings will far surpass the H chances of getting a Prize than in any of the Morse Consultations, as people who have frequently tried in the numerous horse consultations know to their sorrow. A trial in this drawing may convince the moat sceptical, as the drawing will take place as soon as the : Tickets are. applied for, or not; later than 28th February. 1 This Grand DrawiDg will consist of 160 Money PrzeS, amounting in all to £2000, subscribed by 4000 Members at 10a, each.
