To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored with a large consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds'are equal, and in some respects superior, to anything of the same class that can be imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past.
