I^IOODSONS TF ONDON ; yjt RCADE^ EASTER PRESENTATIONS. EASTER CARDS. ' A REMINISCENCE OF . the past three years marks rapid strides in the City of Auckland; a complete revolution has been made in certain well-known branches of trade — in Stationery, Clocks, Watches, Jewellery, and Fancy Goods. The opening of the London Arcade marked a favourable era for the Residents of Auckland and its neighbourhood, greater facilities then being offered for obtaining at one and the same place a selection from the most varied stock in unison with the motto, " S.P. & Q.R." THREE YEARS' experience have shown by demonstration that a nimble 6d is better than a slow Is, and that, notwithstanding the close imitation and keen competition to which we have been subjected, our business was never more successful than at present, the public readily discriminating between the plan adopted at the Arcade of marking the goods at the same universal low price, and the course now being adopted by some of our competitors — marking a few lines 50 per cent, below the prices at which they have for years supplied the same goods to the Auckland public. During our three years RESIDENCE IN the City our prices have remained the same we commenced at iw High-street, and tnough in the plan we have pursued — viz. .supplying our goods upon a lower tariff of profits than hitherto known in Auckland, we have incurred the displeasure of a few of our neighbours, we are yet content to know we have the approbation of the majority of our appreciating citizens, and as long as we remain in AUCKLAND it will be our endeavour honourably to maintain the position in which we have been placed by the extensive pati'onage we have received from the inhabitants of Town and Country, to whom we tender our sincere thanks.
