Public Notices. j^DVICE TO LADIES,, The Ladies of Auckland are now casting ab<iu#i for their new SPRINGAND SUMMER DRESSES. The two considerations tituftTfefelghof most importance way be said to be-^PiOKJtND Peiok. A word of timely advice, therefore, may not to out of place. Look around well before buying. Dozens of Ladies select at first sight only, to- • disappoint themselves by seeing an article a few days after that wouldl be much preferred and often at a lower figure. For instance, a lady remarked only a couple of days since, " Did you see that charming and magnificent lot of prints at Abbotf sin Newton ? I led quite-vexed that I have bought" -These were the actual words uttered, ana we fear will be the sentiments of not a few, as they review the stock now. showing at the above-named's establishment. ' In refer-. ence to which. R. H. ABBOTT & CO. wish'to i say that they, have searched: the markets. >. in i every direction to enable them'to place before their patrons a choice, profuse, and unwearying variety of Prints, Hats, Bonnets,JßßKjummer Goods in general, all at as reasonab'SHpflguro as it is possible for them to be got for money. We have now over 1,000 designs iii new Prints, and our Stock will be replenished by vNoveltie»; by each steamer. We further beg to inform our well-wishers that, notwithstanding the un denied badness of the times, our trade shows an. j increase of from 50 to 70 per cent, month by month upon last year's trade. This is a great proof to us of public encouragement of our endeavours to place before the public an EXCELLENT VARIETY OF GOODS at the Lowest Obtainable Figure for Cash, and, encourages us to still further efforts on behalf of our patrons: It has never been a part of bur policy to deceive the public in the slightest degree by large advertisements announcing bogus reductions, etc.. If we announce a Cheap Line, our customers can bear us out that it lias never been over-described., We hope this season to open out from time to time Lines as Astonishing as Heretofore, of which announce ment will be given. Besides offering Good Value and a Splendid Assortment of Beiges, - Prints, Millinery, and Season Goods in general, we have Just Opened a Job Line of Bojfs'* Youths', and small Men's Flax Shirts of Good Quality, at Is. each. The regular value of these is fully from Is. 9d. to 2s. 6d., at R. H. ABBOTT & CO., Earangahape Road, and Upper Symonds-streot v. Proc"lamation. b., TO THE ELECTORS. THE RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS.
