OH YES! This recurring Christmas Season gives nrn the opportunity to thank most heartily my numerous customers for tho r continued patronage of my p'ace of -business, and to express my great safcisftiction at the marked increase in my trarlo during the year. Disclaiming as I do all ' humbug,' I wish to say that my ambition is to do the largest trade in Ashburton, ard if I don't do quite that, i moan to try to deserve it by giving cons: ant and prompt fittentlon fo all orders, and good value in every department. This will, I trust, srcure at least a further largo increase in the coming year. To those who have not hitherto patronised nio, I would respectfully suggest that they give mo a turn. A new picture almanac awaits each of my regular customers, and I wish a merry Christmas and happy New Year to all. It is not necessary to enumerate the various articles in my well-selected stock, which embraces groceries, Italian and fancy goods, pr 'visions, crockery and glassware, fruits, conftctnnery, &c. &c* Prices will be found very reasonable.
