Friedlander Bros PfSPOSAL OF BUSINESS. 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 condoet the same solely on his own ac count from tbia date.



Selling Off! Selling Off!! Selling Off!! I DRAPERY AND CLOTHING. FRIEDLANDER 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 Lo w This is a rare opportunity for Cash Buyers, and one we feel confident the Inhabitants of Ashburton and surround ing districts will take advantage of Come prepared to buy ; we are prepared to sell, as NO REASONABLE OFFER WILL BE REFUSED—FOR CASH,

Business i- otices. WAR WITH RUSSIA.—At the pre sent juncture it would be difficult for any one except a prophet of the highest rank to any 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 wa 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 catting, and the care exer cised by us in fitting the figure, a mis-fit is an impossibility.— Craighead as» Go., Merchant Tailors, Tancred street.



D ISSOLUTION OP PARTNERSHIP. In consequence of the firm of J. MEEGH & Co., of Ashburton, Furniture Dealers, having been dissolved, and in order to facilitate a settlement between JOHN MEEGH (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. C. DUNCAN. agent, or to JOHN MEGCH ; either of whose receipts will b a sufficient discharge.

Capital L 30.000 (with power to increase to L5U,000), divided into shares of L 5 each. Provisional Directors— George H. Greenwood (Chairman) T Bullock, J.P. E. G. Crisp, Geo. Coleman J. Chalmers C.

Thomas ft’. G. Wright D. Williamson J. Ward Robert Wilkin, J.P. Bankers—Bank of Australasia. Solicitor—C. W. Parnell. Secretary—Alfred Bunting. Tne 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 jpur poae of completing the work and com mencing the manufacture of woollen goods as early as possible. (а) 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. (б) The buildings, which are of brick and exceedingly well built, include engine-house, boiler-house, drying 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, mutes, 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 LB.OOO less than the actual original coat) 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 moat modern appl'ances, at two-thirds less coat than any other Com pany in the colony ; the total coat not ex ceeding Lb, 600. Mr Greenwood, who is at present acting as chairman, has had large experience in the manuiacture 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 in position, to bo ready for active opera tions when the next clip of wool comes tw hand in October next.



Other r actories ia the colony, started under much less favorable auspices, ate now paying with regularity dividends of 1U per cent, as well as placing substantial amounts to the.r 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.



Tho Provisional Directors have already subscribed for I*lo,ooo worth of shares, and now invite applications for the re mainder. Five shillings per share will be payable on application ; live 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 less than two months.



Application* for shares will bo received by any of the Provisional Directors, the Company’s bankers, or by the Secretary.
