Thoughts For The Times

Tun Swing or Business

The slump in business conditions has demonstrated again that the great movements in the business world w-iich make good times or bad times are spontaneous and beyond control. They are due to mass action and mass psychology. The business of the country depends upon the purchases and policies of tens of millions of individuals, and when they become generally possessed of a. spirit of confidence, and go ahead with their planning and.spending under its influence, we have a period of prosperity. The difference between free spending and careful economy by all tin; people of this country meaps a vast difference in the volume of trade and the level of prices.—LT.S. Comment.

Mr J. Kellys of the staff of the Christchurch Press, and formerly Editor of the “Grey River Argus,” is one of the pressmen accompanying the Prime Minister’s Party on its West Coast tour. Messrs M. Houston and Co. direct special attention to their auction sale in the mart to-morrow afternoon at 2 o’clock when the whole of tho first class furniture and effects in the estate of tho late Mrs Duckworth will be disposed of. The run is on “No Rubbing Laundry Help” in Is cartons"—W. Perry and Co. wholesale agents for “No Rubbing.” Visit the great clearing sale, prices are right down. You get the best value, up to date goods, and genuine bargains. We are constantly readjusting our prices to conform with the falling markets. Keeping abreast of the times is our business. Our low prices ore the reason for our wonderful growth. Call and see the fresh bargains.—McGruer and Co, Hokitika and Greymouth.—Advt.
