LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE beg to return our sincere thanks for the very liberal patronage accorded us since opening in Ashburton.

We intend CLOSING THIS BRANCH at an early date, expecting that your future orders will be posted direct to us at Christchurch, where they will receive the personal attention of the firm, and will be forwarded to your address, carriage paid.
