Just two days before the tariff resolutions were accepted by the House, and acted upon by the Customs authorities, we passed entries for our latest imports of flannels and blankets, for the season, at the Wholesale Family Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington, We consequently escaped the rigorously high duty that, in accordance with protectionist proclivities, is now levied oil these Koods. Whether this stop is one in the direction or otherwise we are not disposed to ar»ue. One tiling is very, certain that we have now a splendid stock of flannels and blankets, that in spite of the increased duties wo shall sell for the old prices, at Te Aro House, Wellington. We were never better able to supply the public with both ijiiantily and quality in llannelsand blankets, and we venture to assert (hut no house in trade has so large a stock, or is able fo sell such good value for money, as we are at Te Aro House, Wellington. It would, therefore, lie ivlsc. prudent, economical, money saving on the pe,rt of cyery. one to see our ilamiels and blankets iirst before laying out a penny on these articles elsewhere. Time is money, and worry would be saved in buying all that may be required of these articles, at the Wholesale Family Drapery Warehouse. Te Aro House, Welling ton.—ADVT.
