FOXTON’S SHOPPING WEEK.

COMMENCES ON SATURDAY NEXT. Foxton’s shopping week and spotting competition commences on Saturday next and concludes on Saturday, June 4th. THE OBJECT. The object of the shopping week is set out in the circular, a copy of which will be forwarded, per postj to every householder in the town and district, and reads as follows: — “The business people of Foxton whose names appear in this circular will afford town and country folk an ocular demonstration of the fact that it pays to shop in Foxton. The spotting competition provides a novel and compelling means to that end. When looking for the corresponding number of this circular in the windows of business places ennumerated, you will have brought under your notice the variety, excellent quality and comparatively low prices of goods in Foxton business houses. Distant fields may look green, but in your home town you will find that all your requirements can be met, without sending yoiur money to build up outside businesses. The money you circulate locally adds to your prosperity, and promotes the best interests of the town, Therefore be patriotic, and let Foxton prosper.” SPOTTING COJIPETITION. A spotting competition, with 80 free gifts of a total value of £SO, provides an added interest. Each circular issued contains a number and if the corresponding number is seen on any article in any of the shop windows of business people set out in the circular, all that the holder of the circular has to do is to claim the gift.
