Upon tho 30th Septcmbcrnext Messrs Wrigglesworth and Bums'. deposit ticket concession ends.

We venture to say that uo other firm in tho Colony can offer such liberal terms or act so considerately. The advantages of dealing with a firm like tho Dresden Piano Co. are thus easily seen, and when in addition to liberality the firm alsooffcrs the best value obtainable, these advantages aro increased-fourfold.
