Business in Waipawa. : - Taken generallyy Waipawa business people are well satisfied with the results of the community half-price Isale wnich was inaugurated in Waipawa on Saturday last. It was somewhat unfortunate that the day should have been wet, preventing the sale being conducted under ' normal conditions; However what was lost .on the swings was no doubt gained on the roun.dabouts, for the rain put an end to shearing and haymaking on Saturday, resulting in many people eonnng into town who would otherwise perhaps not have been able to attend. Throughout the day the town was exceptionally busy, and trad^speople, especially those in the larger way of business, report that they had a very good day and are convinced that the effort'was well worth while.
