IN THE Fortune may favor, though she may frown; Bright morning comes after the night, And no matter how long a good man may be down, He’ll rise if he sticks to the right. In the game of onr lives, though the “ deuce ” is to play, We all have our chances of “trumps,” “Fair dealing” if you would “count honors,” we say, | And never be down in the dunlps. I The oldest of men tell us life is si span, Though the “ lane without (turning ” seems long ; When sadness creeps into the hfeart of a man I He should hurry it out with a song. Though the road be so rough that the progress is slow, ; Though our knees may be aching with bumps, 'Twill be changed if a little further we go, So never be down in the dumps. Should folk disappoint—say, your tailor, to wit, With separate garment or suit, Visit G. J, F. Lublow for perfection in fit, And saving your money to boot, He’ll suit you with all that is novel and rare, And prove himself a regular “trump,” For giving both cheapness and thorough good wear, So never be down in the dumps. To give Stylish and Reliable • Material!., Perfect Fit, and unmistakable Cheapness, is the state of perfection attained in the Clothing supplied by G. J. F, Lublow r .

As the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends ib a great measure on the support which is giveii to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancred street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By fallowing this course they will be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will also be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry thi s idea to a practical issue they have just; been favored with a large consignment ol the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming set son. 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 thrfiir 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.

It admitted that Clothing Manufac turers are the best judges of SEWING MACHINES. Please Read Theie Opinions, viz,, The New 1 Wheeler and Wilson has more than realised our expectations as to speed, durability, and also in Economising Labor, our work people express a decided pre ference for them on account of the ease with which they are worked.— Beaxh, Schiess, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, West. For Hat Binding and Cap Making the Wheeler and Wilson Machines are the best we have in use ; they do more work and require less labor than any others we have tried.—A. Masters & Co., 60, Princess street, Dunedin. We use Wheeler and Wilson Machine and find it superior to any other, both for Economy, Efficiency and Speed, to any other we have tried.— l. and A. Don, Dressmakers, Duncan street,. Dunedin. We have had Wheeler and Wilson Machines'in use for the last three years ; we find them more suitable than any other machines and very durable. —Yates Sons & Co., Drapers, George street, Dunedin. I have pleasure in stating that the Wheeler and Wilson Machines have given me entire satisfaction. I consider it a better machine for work than any other I have tried.— Peter Stewaet, Draper, Great King street, Dunedin. I like the Wheeler and Wilson better than any other machines I have used, it is lighter to work, much faster, and for dressmaking, etc., it cannot be surpassed. M. Cavanagh, Dressmaker, Caversham, Dunedin. , We have 20 No. 6 Wheeler and Wilson’s in use ; we consider them the best for Leather Work ; they give entire satisfac tion.—Alderson & Sons, Manufacturers, York street, Sydney. MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 | Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines —“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Whkei.ee and Wilson . Machine, which performed the feat of sewing together all the parts of a pair of moleskin trousers in nine (9) minutes, doing its work smoothly and well. ” ONLY GRAND GOLD PRIZE, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1878. BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The new Straight Needle Wheeler and Wislon have no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tire and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has much less friction than the shuttle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more and greater improvements than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute. CAUTION. Beware of Hawkers and also Puffing Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly injurious to the health of the operator. Inspect the New Wheeler and Wilson ROTARY ACTION MACHINES And judge for yourselves. They run by hand and foot, and are warranted to give entire satisfaction. TIME PAYMENTS. i TIME PAYMENTS.
