“Special Adyertiapinents. INTRODUCTION OP THE PARCEL SYSTEM. Fashion H-ovsb, , V: Cashel street, Oht&tchurch. Great success'has been achieved in the Old Country by the introduction of the ‘‘Numbered Parcel System,” for the supply ard purchase of useful household drapery, thousands of parcels being for warded to the order of distant customers upon thb distinct understanding that any article not proving satisfactory to the pur chaser, the money in all cases to be re turned. This system is now being intro duced by E. 0. Brown & Co., FASHION HOUSE, Christchbrch. The splendid stock of General Drapery in Sill departments has been purchased by E. o.,Brown and Co., from the Trustees in the Estate of the late firm of Craig and Smyth, at a very large discount off post for cash. Thus articles sold under cost price leave a good margin of profit for the vendor, while giving unsurpassed value to the purchaser. In all parcels we stake our reputation on the values, and, as suggested above, re turn the money in all cases where the article is not satisfactory.
