It will be, perhaps, surprising to many that we should adopt the present course of giving Goods at Cost Price, ■ but we do so on principle alone. First —To counteract ! the influences brought to bear on tho public in these extraordinary times ; second—To give the inhabitants the benefit of some very large and advantageous pur chases made a few days ar;n, and also at auction ; and Third—To let the people of Auckland sec where they can get best value for their money. It may be necessary, in the present crisis of Trade to remind the Public that we are not offering an old and moulded worn-out stock, that has been lying in tho fixtures for }rears ; but we are giving them FIRST-CLASS GOODS, purchased under unprecedented circumstances, and al perfectly new. k Inspection Invited !
