S A JL A M B THE OPPOSITION THOUGHT KASILY^O GET RID OF HIM, BUT UNFORTU NATELY FOR THKMSELVKS, THEY FOUND OUT HE IS AS QTRONG AS A T lON ! ! ! WORKING MEN OF AUCKLAND : Will you calmly stand by and encourage the Opposition in their determined attempts to injure the man Avho has been your friend for the last fourteen years. Yes. J. LEVY has proved himsolt your friend in the truest sense of the word, for was he net solely tho means by which you were enabled to obtain Ready-made Clothing here in Auckland at prices but Blightly in advance for what they were made in England for. His doing so did not pleaso.those who had been "fleecing" yon, 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 ho himself stands out as a " brand plucked from the burning." And why is it thus? J. LEVY at once openly confesses ho owes it all to the strong support which he has received from the Working Classes, and would at this time especially direct their attention to the fact that i his WINTER STOCK for 1878 is now unpacked, and will defy competition, whether ac regard to style, durability, and tho LOW FIGURES at which they aro marked. Just cast your eyes down tho following list, and you Avill be astonished :— ■ Men' Heavy Woollen Shirts (extra sizes), 3S 6d ' —worth 7s 6d Boys' and Youths' ditto, 2s G->—worth 5s ; Coloured Moleskins (a large shipment daily'ex pected), 4s 6r> —worth 8s 6d *»•*••"»•' Men's Galatea Jackets (lined with either wool or Italian cloth), 15s Hd—worth 25s ' Men's Tweed Trousers, gs I !d—worth 14 6d Trousers and Vests superior Mosgiel tweed) 15s I Id—full lvalue, 27s 6d Aberdeen Socks, per pair, is—worth Is 9d White Shirts (large variety), 3s 6d—worth 6s Cd Overcoats (in Ulsters) from £| Is to £4.4s Boys'and Youths' Ulsters (any size), at a very low figure Collars, per box from 30. 40s. Double-breasted Paget Suits; worth 755. " That licks you." When you have done so, you will be led to exclaim Is That So! Is That So 11 but what will you say when you are told 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 di-appoint you. Just Opened—The American Unsurpassables, a newcstyle of Paper Collar, which do not show the grease. Quito a. novoity. .

LADIES, TAKE NOTE OF THIS !— Two important points should not be lost sight of in selecting a Sewing Machine. First: Be not misled by long and extravagant puffs in tho papers about Machine, which are frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, camonly parrot-like repeat the puff. 2nd: Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because it happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pay dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his intimate knowledge of Sewing Mechanism, can confidently recommend Taylor's Patent SeAving Machine, as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stitch Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras, 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent's, • T.
