A. Gardener & Son's advertisement on onr front page. This firm is determined to keep up their reputation. From the time of their commencing business in Carterton they have repeatedly proved that they can withstand competition, no matter how strong. It is therefore ridioulons for another storekeeper from a neighboring township to post price lis's to their customers and pretend to sell at wholesale prices, when for the smallest quantities B. A. Gardener & Son supply goods in almost everjr instance 10 to 15 per cent oheaper, and in large quantities still further concessions are made.—(Advi,)
