Our reference books contain several million names, and our extensive connection enables us to make special terms with "the i most suitable wholesale manufacturers of I each class of goods, so that even after add ing our shipping commission of H to 5 per cent, (according (o amount) our prices still compare favourably with those of the manitf actuvei s. : •We supply goods made specially to any style, quality or pries; and on-, receipt of indent, wich" full and clear instructions, and remittance of cash, or produce to cover our knowledge of the trade enables us t» place the order at once in. the best hands, and the goods are promptly forwarded. We make up sampie cases of most goods from £5 upwards ; and as we utilise our long experience in choosing such goods M are most likely to suit the market for which. they are intended, we confidently recom mend buyers to order these sample cases, for by doing so they will obtain the latest and most taking novelties. Consignments of produce receive careful attention, and we give advances to any extent. Prompt and painstaking attention to the interests of correspondents, together with exceedingly moderate charges, and plain and straightforward dealings, have enabled us to maintain for the greater part of a century, a reputation which we value too much to allow it to be tarnished by the unsatisfactory execution of i single trans action.
