‘GREAT REDUCTION
In the price of
BOOKS, LAW AND COMMERCIAL STATIONERY,
PRINTING, AND BOOKBINDING.
EVANS BROTHERS,
TAKE this opportunity of thanking the public of Ballarat and the surrounding district, for the patronage hitherto awarded them, and beg to state that they have just completed re-marking the whole of their very extensive Stock, and revised the list of prices for Printing, which will be in future at
MELBOURNE PRICES.
E. BROTHERS are anxious to prevent the necessity of Bankers, Merchants, and others
SENDING TO TOWN FOR THEIR GOODS,
And have in consequence reduced the prices for
PRINTING, RULING, BOOKBINDING,
and
PAGING:
as well as
BOOKS AND STATIONERY,
To such a rate of charges as will
SUIT THE TIMES.
EVANS BROTHERS,
Printers, Stationers, Booksellers, Bookbinders, Paper-Rulers,
and
Account Book Manufacturers,
