Always Something startling i! kst please read this. ~m CHEAP HoTIdAY SUITS FOB PLEASURE SEEKERS. I have very much pleasure in announcing to the Public of Auckland that in addition to the 25 CASES OB1 MEN'S BOY'S, AND YOUTH'S FASHIONABLE READY-MADfC CLOTHING by the Glenloru, I have just unpacked 12 cases more of the same goods, ex Loch Fleet. They were made by the Best Wist End of London Tailors according to my own directions to suit the requirements of this market, and will ba found to bo the FINEST SAMPLE OF GOODS ever landed here for Summer wear. It ia not my custom (as is v-ry often done by some shop-keepers), to bring off the back shelves las year's Goods, and advertise them as " New Stock." I would specially call the attention of parents and guardians to the shipment of JUVKNILB HOITS. Although only opened out last week, their adaptability both ssregards' stylo and material, has caused more than half of them to be sold. Those therefore who wish to see the rising generation " smartly dressed" for the Holidays, should without delay pay a visit to my establishment. FIRST COMB, FIRST SERVED. *ar SPECIAL. Among the Shipment will ba found also KXTRA LARGE Men's Trousers and Ve3ts-a want which Was hitherto much felt. PRICES. As I have to send Home shortly a large sum of Money to secure my next Winter Stock (at the usual large discoant for cash), lean con fidently assure the public that the whole shipment will be sold at such low figures as is not likely to occur again for some time. " Small Profits and Quick Returns" has always been my motto, and this is the secret of my business still increasing. TOWN AND COUNTRY PEOPLE, Look in at the OLD SHOP before going elsewhere. Straw Hats, Caps, Shirt's, Dust Coats.JjScarves, Ties, &c, in eiidless variety. 1 j£^--i. J.
