Our grandfather* and grandmothers have read some ex-i crutiating poetry in advertisements in their time just as we do sometimes now. From an old newspaper dated a while! after the Flood, a tea dealer, expatiating! on the merits of hia tea, has the follow ing : . . “ For lords and ladies it is fit; Seven shillings is the price of it.” I’m not going to paint the lily or gild re fined gold by attempting to improve on that, but it should be a source of comfort to the tea drinkers of Ashburton and sur rounding districts that they can now pro cure the finest Teas at my establishment for much less money. I have just re ceived a fresh consignment of Nelson, Moate, and Co.’s Pure Blended Teas, in packets and boxes. I have also opened up an assortment of Fancy Goods, and fruits in variety are constantly arriving, so that my patrons may have plenty to chose from at the coming festive season. I wish all my kind customers a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. H. M. Carson’s New Fruit and Italian Ware house (next Bank of New Zealand), East . oliu--c.
