A RECORD SALE.

“THE HOiVIE OF GOOD VALUE."

"Follow the crowd" was the order of the day yesterday, and before realising it the idle passerby was magnetically drawn to the doors of “The Home of Good Value," where an enormous bargain sale is in progress. From the opening of the doors at 9 a.m. of this drapery emporium in Normanby Road yesterday the premises were thronged with eager purchasers on bargain-hunting expeditions. That they were not disappointed was evidenced by the eager manner in which the many lines were snapped up. and by the satisfaction expressed at the value obtained at ridiculously low prices. A particularly pleasing feature of this sale is the fact that despite the large number, of shoppers who attend, each clamouring for bargains, the staff at Mr Gamble’s is fully capable and sufficient to give careful attention to their requirements. The huge crowd is being handled satisfactorily, and it will not be the fault of the management if anyone goes away dissatisfied. To facilitate matters, and so'as to be in a position to deal expeditiously <vith his customers, Mr Gamble has installed the railway system of cash bails from the various departments in the emporium, thus saving the assistants considerable time and energy in rushing to a cash register for change.

Mr Gamble states that those who participated in the rush for bargains yesterday have not quite secured all th" "plums” offering, as ne has yet a number of cases of goods- not unpacked, and which he intends to display as soon as sufficient room is made. The sale Is a genuine clearance one, and everything must go tc make room for new goods arriving daily. Do not judge the bargains by the window displays, but visit the interior of the premises and it will be realised that the sale is no "Yankee boost,’’ but one where genuine bargains can be obtained. “Aeroplane quality a- submarine prices” aptly describes the sale. A lot is heard about the high cost of living and the need for economy, and a rare chance is now offered the public of Paeroa and .surrounding districts io replenish thc-ir wardrobes and linen cupboards with good articles at prices that defy competition. The sale will be continued for a few days longer, so as to give the countryfolk, as well as town residents, an opportunity to secure some bargains.*
