the; question is often asked how F. TOMLINSON, f DRAPER, PARNE I. L, ; "SELLS SO'CHE APr ; ", ; ; Ist. Because having had 17 years' experience in the Drapery Business, ho has a very good idea of the Value'of Goods. 2nd. Because he has no heavy City Rates, Water Rates, &c., to pay, but is under a very nominal rent. 3rd. Because he is always able to meot' his bills before they are due (taking ;the discount), and is, therefore, in a position to Purchase Goods on the saino terms as the Largest Establishments in Aiick; land. •.;.:.; ...

There is much being made lust now by some persons in the Clothing Trade about supporting Local Industry, but '.•■':■ , SAMUEL COOMBES Challenges any House in the Trade to Shew that they Employ as Much Local Labour as he does (that is Auckland Labour), and Money spent elsewhere than in Auckland might almost as well be spent in London, as far as we in Auckland are concerned. Samuel CJoombes MAKES THE BULK OF THE CLOTHING HK SELLS! : In fact, the Bulk of the CLOTHING SOLD at the CITY CLOTHING MART ia Manufactured on the Premises ! Tho only important exception being Geelong Tweed, or Australian Tweed Goods, which are manufactured in Melbourne, and as SAMUEL COOMES Haa made Large Contracts in Melbourne for those Goods, enabling him to sell them Much Under Wholesale Ppices ! 1! The 27s 6d and 30s being fully 20 pei.- cent, under what a much inferior article would cost in any Wholesale House. US' One Trial will suffice to prove this fact. In the TAILORING DEPARTMENT, SAMUEL COOMBES Has Completed, since the 29th of May, 1878, 4726 Measurements! These Figures speak for themselves. JUST OPENED: 200 GALATEA JACKETS, 10/6.
