To the Ladies of Gisborne DEAR MADAM, — 'lhe object of this announcement is to tell you of the arrival of new goods, avd to mention one or two other things,-that will not only interest you, hut will he of material service in helping you to dress well. . Our first shipment, which includes novelties and regular merchandise for every department, is now being unpacked, These goods come to us direct from the World's principal manufacturers and represent ihe lest values obtainable in correct styles for Autumn and Winter wear, having been selected with special care by our London buyers. ' . ' * This is a progressive age, and a progressive business must have a courteous and well trained sale s force. To this end we have secured the services of three ladies, each of whom are specialists. Miss Smith who made herself so popular with ihe Christchurch ladies, bg reason of her ability, judgment , and refined taste, while being the principal lady in the Mantle and Costume department of W. Strange and Co., now takes charge of our Mantle and Costume Department. .. , 1 - . '. z Miss Ranks, who is in control of our Millinery room, is without doubt the cleverest artist that Gisborne has ever had. Tier six years experience in an important position in the Model room of such a high class house as Farmer and Co., of Tilt Street, Sydney, puts the stamp of excellence, on her work, but when we tell you that for the past three and a half years Mils Ranks has had charge of-the Millinery room of Hordern Pros., Pitt Street, Sydney, we feel we have said enough. We quote the following extract from keen business friends regarding Miss Rank's ability. “We duly received your letter of Bth inst., in reference to Miss Ranks; It took us some MUe time to obtain full information about the lady,'as toe had to go about it quietly so as not to in any way endanger her position with her present employers. One of the responsible men in the same firm informed us, that Miss Ranks was in charge of their Model Workroom; was a very good prat ical designer, and gave entire satisfaction in every way. From what we have hard ice have no hesitation in s, ying you will be very fortunate indeed, if you secure her services." Miss Parties, who took charge of the Sales part of our Mi< inery six months ago, has become so favourably known for her skill in suggesting suitable styles, and her fine bv mess cagabilities, that it seems superfluous to mention her name, suffice it to say that Miss Parties, Miss Smith, and Miss Ranks will be glad to place their knowledge and advice at your service, any time you can m ke it convenient to call. _ . In conclusion, let us say, we are strenuously striving I? - attain the ideal Store service, and as in the past, so in the future our efforts will be fixed upon the fittest demonstration of this policy. With our sincere thanks for past favors. We remain, Yours Faithfully) WILLIAM PBTTIE & CO., LTD. T. E.
