es of Gisborne DEAR MADAM,— llie objeci of this announcement is to tell you of the arrival ofneio goods, avd to mention one or two other things, that ivill not only interest you, but will be 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 the best values obtainable in correct styles for Autumn and Winter ivear, having been selected with special care by our London buyers. This.is a progressive age, and a progressive business must have a courteous and icell trained sale's force. To this end toe have secured the services of three ladies., each of ivhom are specialists. Miss Smith who made herself so popular with the Christchurch ladies, by 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. ... Miss Ranks, who is in control of our Millinery room, is without doubt the cleverest artist that Gisborne has ever had. Her six years experience in an important position in the Model room of such a high class house as Farmer and Co., of Pitt Street, Sydney, puts the stamp of excellence on her work, but vfiien ice tell you that for the past three and a-half years Miss Ranks has had charge of the Millinery room of Hordern Bros., Pitt Street, Sydney, ice feel we have said enough. We quote the following extract from keen business friends regarding Miss Bank's ability. “We duly received your letter of Bth inst., in reference to Miss Ranks. It took us some little time to obtain full information about the lady, as ice had to go about it (quietly so as 'not to in any way endanger her position with her present employers. Cue of the responsible men in the same firm informed us, that Miss Banks was in charge of their Model Workroom; was a very good practical designer, and gave entire satisfaction in every way. - From what ice have heard we have no hesitation in saving you will be very fortunate indeed, if you secure her services." Miss Barnes, who took charge of the Sales part of our Millinery six months ago, has become so favourably known for her skill in suggesting suitable styles, and her fine business caqabilities, that it seems superfluous to mention her name, suffice it to say that Miss Barnes, Miss / mith, and Miss Banks will be glad to place their knowledge and advice at your service, any time you can maf e it convenient to call. In conclusion, let us say, we are strenuously striving [to attain the ideal Store service, and as in the past, so in the future our efforts will be fixed upon the fullest demonstration of this policy. With our sincere thanks for past favors. We remain, Yours Faithfully, WILLIAM PBTTIE & CO., LTD. T. E. TONEYCLIFFE. Managing Director. ’ P.S. — Opening Display, Wednesday, Thursday , Friday and Saturday
