SHOPPING METHODS
THEATRE TICKETS IN PURCHASES . SYDNEY, October 29. Sydney’s bargain hunters have been having the time of their lives during the last week To' give a fillip to trade; to help the public to balance its domestic budgets, and to keep in employment a vast number of counter hands, nine big city establishments, comprising one of Sydney’s biggest shopping blocks, launched, in concert and along spectacular lines, a huge bargain sale drive, involving more than £1,000,C00 worth of high-class stock much of it at prices below wholesale figures. It was these retailers’ practical contribution, not without regard, of course, for their own interests, to the solution of the problem of bringing down prices to meet the times. An intriguing feature of the drive was the presentation to the best bargain shoppers of £SOO worth of tickets for admission to a musical comedy. In more prosperous days windows would probably have been smashed in the on-slaught on such a wealth of cheap, yet high-class stock. As it was, however, the massed attack on these shops was quite sufficient to justify the campaign.
