Auckland department store Smith & Caughey – in Māori, Te Mete rāua ko Kauwhe – ran this advertisement in Te Korimako, a monthly magazine in the Māori language, published from 1882 to 1888. The full-page ad says that if someone ordered goods worth more than £1, the purchases would be sewn into canvas and delivered free on direct routes from Auckland. Many city stores delivered to country customers.
