[adyebtisement.] 3New Zealand I have travelled through, And it has pleased me much, Sirs, To find that rivalry exists, Amongst colonial Butchers. fTis Beef and Mutton I have found, In quality superior, And if of him you always buy, You'll never have inferior. So roll you up to GEORGE'S shop, And do not think it funny, That there, and only there, you'll get, Real value for your money. By reason I will here explain : 1 get my Meat much cheaper, And in my wife's domestic claims, It costs me less to keep her. But in mj travels I have seen, No Meat to GEORGE'S equal, And if the wherefore you would know, I'll now supply the sequel. He's really master of his trade, As I have proved by trial, And sure I am this statement will Admit of no denial. The Shop you'll find in Wakefield-street j And if you are out buying You'll find no other house in town Such bargains is supplying. Of all the Meat that's there for sale It's quality is Buch, sirs, That GEORGE mustTeally be pronounced The be3t of Auckland Butchers. Note the address: E. GEORGE & CO., Queen and Wakefield-streets.
