Tim pace is not slackened ; the great winding-up business sale now running ab A. Spence’s establishment is going as merrily as ever. This mine of good things, which gives unouestionable dividents to investors in it, is far from being exhausted. It takes time to realise a ‘dock totting up to several thousands of pounds in value, even when prices are cut as' low as they are here. The proprietor wishes it lo bo clearly understood that this is an honest and earnest endeavour to dispose of his stock, in order that he mav retire from business in Stratford, and that he is making an absolute sacrifice of profit to attain his object. Drapery and clothing values at his store are. therefore, incomparably superior to current market values; in other words, he eould not continue to sell at flip present greatly reduced prices and expect to continue in business for any length of time, nor could anyone else. . But make no mistake, it is not in any spirit of philanthrophy that lie is making tin’s great saerifiye, it is simply because lie is making a big bid for the money which you must spend in purchasing the commodities which he sells and which you require, and he knows that it will suit him and suit you, too, to spend it with him.
