Friedlander Bros 7 DISPOSAL OF BUSINESS. 1 IMPORTANT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT. Friedlander Bros. beg to announce that they have disposed of their IRONMONGERY AND GROCERY BUSINESS TO MR. HENRY ZANDER who has now taken possession, and will conduct the same solely on his own ac count from this date.



Business Notices. WAR WITH RUSSIA.—At the P ret sent juncture it would be difficule for any one except a prophet of th highest rank to say whether or not the present negotiations between England and Russia will lead to a general European war, or whether they will end in smoke. The absence of full information as to what is transpiring between the two countries may indicate that the political breeze is blowing harmlessly past; or, it may be the awful silence which generally precedes a storm. In either case, we ought to be prepared for the worst. If a general war breaks out the price of nearly every article of commerce will rise. Among other commodities, wool and labor will go up. Now is the time, therefore, to lay in a stock of clothing, before the g moral ad vance begins. In ord«r that we may not be caught napping we have just purchased a Splendid Assortment of Winter Tweeds and other materails necessary to a well equipped tailoring establishment, which wn are prepared to offer at unusually low prices for cash. Regarding style and fit, it is almost needless for us to repeat what everbody knows, viz, that by our scien tific mode of cutting, and the care exer cised by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit is an impossibility.— Ceaiohead asd Co., Merchant Tailors, Tanored street.



.ISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP. In consequence <1 0 1 ft MEEOH &' Co., of Ashbu > Dealers, having been dissolved, and in order to facilitate a settlement between j JOHN MEECH (who takes over the business) and his retiring partner, a CHEAP SALE will commence from to day, of the whole of the stock of well seasoned furniture of all kinds, ironmon gery, crockery, etc., will be cleared out at HALF-PRICE. All debts owing must forthwith be paid ■to J. 0. DUNCAN; agent, or to JOHN MEEOH ; either of whose receipts will b a sufficient discharge.



Selling Off! Selling Off!! Selling Off!!! DRAPERY AND CLOTHING. FRIED LANDER BROS. have also resolved to dispose of their Drapery and Clothing Business, but as the stock in these Departments is much in excess they are determined to reduce it, and in order to do so everything will be re-marked at Astonishingly Low Prices.



This is a rare opportunity for Cash Buyers, and one we feel confident the inhabitants of Ashburton and surround ing districts will tabe advantage of. Gome prepared to buy ; we are prepared to sell, as NO REASONABLE OFFER WILL BE REFUSED—FOR OASU. THE DRESSMAKING DEPARTMENT is still under the management of Miss GREEN, and dresses will be made up during the Sale at 9s fid, 10s fid and 14s fid. Style and Fit not to be surpassed. BOOTS. BOOTS. We keep only the BEST MAKE IN COLONIAL BOOTS, viz, “Lightband and Allan’s,” which are acknowledged to be the most durable boots manufactured in the colony, and our PRICES WILL BEAK FAVORABLE COMPARISON WITH ANY HOUSE IN TOWN.

Thomas E. G. Wright D. Williamson J. Ward Robert Wilkin, J.P. Bankers—Bank of New Zealand Solicitor —0. W. Purnell. Secretary—Alfred Banting. The Provisional Directors, having ar ranged for the purchase of the land, buildings, and woollen manufacturing machinery lately belonging to the Ash burton Woollen Factory Company, have decided to form a Company for the pur pose of completing the work and com mencing the manufacture of woollen goods as early as possible. (a) The section of land on which the buildings are erected faces the main road from Ashburton to Mount Somers, and contains seven acres of freehold, distant miles from the Ashburton railway station, and in every way well suited to the purpose for which it has been selected. (b) The buildings, which are "f brick and exceedingly well built, include engine-house, boiler-house, dryina room, main mill-room (200 ft x 80ft), mechanic’s shop, woolshed, dyehouse storerooms and offices. (c) The machinery includes 36-h.p. en gine and boilers, wool-scouring ma chines, scribblers and condensers, mules, twisting frame, looms, milling and finishing machinery, all quite new and of the latest English design.



The laud, buildings and machinery are offered to the public for L 5.500 (being £,8,000 less than the actual original cost) To connect the shafting with the engine and machinery, which is now being done, and to put the whole into thorough working order, an expenditure not exceeding LIOOO may be required ; the Company will then have a Factory complete in every respect, fitted with the most modern appliances, at two-thirds less cost than any other Com pany in the colony j the total cost not ex ceeding L. 6,600. Mr Greenwood, who is at present acting as chairman, has had large experience in the manufacture of woollen goods in Eng land and is well acquainted with the re quirements of the colony. Under his supervision the machinery is being placed m position, to be ready for active opera tions when the next clip of wool comes to hand in October next. Other factories in the colony, started under much less favorable auspices, ate now paying with regularity dividends of 10 per cent, as well as placing substantial amounts to their respective reserve funds. It is, therefore, with much confidence the Provisional Directors recommend the un dertaking to the public as a thoroughly sound and safe investment. The Provisional Directors have already subscribed for LIO.OOO worth c£ shares, and now invite applications for the re mainder. Five shillings per share will be payable on application ; five shillings per share on allotment; and the balance will be called up as occasion may require, at the rate of five shillings per share, at intervals of not leas than two months. Applications for shares will be received by any of the Provisional Directors, the Company's bankers, or by the Secretary. 9 867
