■tow Su u H H H e H 3 H Goodwill and Confidence On Wednesday we concluded one of the most sucecsessful and brilliant Bargain Sales ever held at PETTIE & GO’S. The reputation of this store on a solid foundation. We have the goodwill and confidence of our customers, which are our, most valued assets. No matter what bargains others may offer, the people know that our bargains are better. We thank You To you residents of the town and country alike —to every one wbo has patronised us to the extent of even a shillings worth —to yon who have tested our Values, and recommended them to others—to you who so graciously made your purchases amidst the noise and dust of alterations during the past month, we record our sincere thanks. A Store of Character The Store like the individual, earns a character which may be good or had according to the methods employed in earning that reputation. In conducting our bnsincss we have fixed principals whereby every customer receives the same advantages. The people know" that the values here are always fair, that it ih always possible to buy goods cheaper at PETTIE’S than to send away for them. Keen Prices No Abatement We sell our goods at keen prices. We don’t look for big profits. When we render an account we insist on receiving the full amount, which is the only fair and honest way of doing business. We positively would not trade with a manufacturer who would do his business in any other way, and we want all our customers to have the same confidence in us that we have in the merchants we do business with. Most people now realise that when they buy a pound’s worth of goods at PETTIE’S, that there is full twenty shillings worthof a!, ue and that no abatement is made or expected. T. E. TONEYCLIFFE, MANAGING DIRECTOR. H H H H H H H H H H H H H We allow 5 per cent discount on all goods paid for at time of purchase, I- 3f per cent discount if paid by the 20tli of the month following the first rendering K of the account, after which no discount is allowed. ■ } H ‘‘Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor ere shall be.” So wrote Pope and no one will be disposed to question the truth of the sentiment. We do not pretend that PETTIE & CO. is without faults, or that w r e do not make mistakes. But to quote Dryden, “ Errors like straws upon the surface How', he who would seek for Pearls must dive below.” A surface view of our business may reveal faults, trifling, perhaps stiff faults; but .those who understand PETTIE & CO., know full w r ell that down below" the surface lies our firm fixed and unalterable determination to deal with all patrons, fairly, courteously, and without subjecting them to annoyance or inconvenience. , We have just passed another milestone in our business journey, and we seize upon the occasion to say when a mistake or a misunderstanding occurs we are always eager to rectify the matter as soon as it is brought to our attention. We w'oiild far rather have a complaint made to us, than have a customer keep silent and feel that the Store has been unfair. H H H H
