As A Xi A M B THE OPPOSITION THOUGHT EASILY TO GET RID Olf HIM, BUT UNFORTU NATELY FOR THEMSELVKS, THEY FOUND OUT HE IS AS (^ITRONG AS A T lON !! ! WORKING MEN OF AUCKLAND : Will you calmly stand by und encourage the Opposition in their determined attempts to injure the man who has been your friend for the last fourteen years. Yea, J. LEVY has proved himself your friend in the truest sense of the word, for was he not solely the means by which you were enabled to obtain Ready-made Clothing here in Auckland at prices but slightly in advance for what they were made in England for. His doing so did not please those who had been "fleecing " you, and many have been the efforts made to " shut" him up. But notwithstanding all, J. LEVY still knocks out. and has seen the process of "whitewashing applied to many of those who styled themselves your friends, whilst he feels that he himself stands out as a "brand plucked from the burning." And why is it thus? J. LEVY at once openly confesses he owes it all to tho strong support which he has received from the Working Classes, and would at this tirre especially direct their attention to the fact that his WINTER STOCK for 1878 is now unpacked, and will defy competition, whether as regard to style, durability, and tho LOW FIGURES at which they are marked. . ,g;J ust cast your eyes down the following list, and you will be astonished :— Men' Heavy Woollen Shirts (extra sizes), 3s 6d —worth 7s 6d Boys' and Youths' ditto, 2s 6"—worth 5s Coloured Moleskins (a larue shipment daily ex pected), 4s 6d—worth 8s 8d Men's Galatea Jackets (lined with either wool or Italian cloth), |5s ||d—worth 25s Men's Tweed Trousers, gs I Id—worth 14 6d Trousers and Vests (superior Mosgiel tweed) ISs ||D-iull valne, 27s 6d Aberdeen Socks, per pair. Is—worth Is 9d White Shirts (large variety). 3s Qt>-~ worth 6s 6d Overcoats (in Ulsters) from £| Is to £4 4S Boys' and Youths' Ulsters (any size), at a very low figure Collars, per box, from 3d. 40s. Double-breasted Paget Suits; worth 7os. " That licks you." , When you have done so. you will be led to exclaim Is That So !Is That So !! but what ■will you say when you are rold you can get a Crimean Shirt for 3< 6d. One and all will remark "Well, LITTLE LEVY is not a bad sort, we will give^ him a call." Do so, my friends, and he will not disappoint you. Just Opened—The American Unsurpassables, a new style of Paper Collar, which do not show the grease. Quite a novelty. Remember the old address :— J.
