Because ho has no heavy City Rates, Water Rates, Sec, to pay, but is under a very nominal rent. 3rd. Because he is always able to meet his bills before they are due (taking the discount), and is, therefore, in a position to Purchase Goods on tho samo terms as the Largest Establishments in Auck land. Having an Us usually Large and Well Assorted Stock, I am giving Extra Value for Money, as the STOCK MUST BE REDUCED, previous to making necessary alterations for tho SPRING TRADE. F. TOMLINSON Draper, Parnell. mO THE PUBLIC OF AUCKLAND. There is much being made iust now by some persons in the Clothing Trade about supporting Local Industry, but SAMUEL COOMBES Challenges any House in the Trade to Show 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, aB far as we in Auckland are concerned. Samuel (Joombes MAKES THE BULK OF THE CLOTHING HE SELLS I In fact, the Bulk of the CLOTHING SOLD at the CITY CLOTHING MART is Manufactured on the Premises ! The only important exception being G belong Tweed, or Australian Tweed Goods, which are manufactured in Melbourne, and as SAMUEL COOMES Has made Large Contracts in Melbourne for those Goods, enabling him to sell them Much Undkr Wholesale Ppices 1! 1 The 27s 6d and 30s being fully 20 per cent, under what a much inferior article would cost in any Wholesale House.

DYNAMITE is the Safest and Most Powerful Explosive in use. The Safety of Dynamite During Transport and Storage. Extracts from the Official evidence given before the House of Commons Select Committee on Explosive Substances—Parliamentary Ses sion of 1874 London. Boxes filled with dynamite have been thrown from a great height, and found to sustain any amount of shock without exploding. They have also been placed upon an open fire, when the dynamite burned slowly away without ex ploding.—Parliamentary report—Blue Book, page 179. Dynamite has been in a railway collision, and, though tho van and boxes containing it were broken, no explosion took place.—Blue Book, page 182, par. 2979. Maior Majendie, R.A., H.Ms. Inspector of Gunpowder and Dynamite Factories, states, in his evidence (page 18, par. 100), that the law re lating to dynamite is as much too stringent as the gunpowder law is too lax; aad (page 20, par 115) that the time Ims come for relieving safe nitro-glyoerine preparations from such un necessary restrictions as the nitro-glycorino Act mpoßes upon them. Profetteor Abel, tho Chemist to Her Majesty's War Department, gives hi 3 experience that Nobel's dynamite is one of the safest, most powerful, and most convenient explosive agents applicable to industrial purposes.—Blue Book, pages 56, 57, and 59.
