Tlio great winding-tip business sale at A. Spence’s drapery and clothing store, is still booming. The interest which this economy event has aroused- is certainly remarkable. Of course the bargains are ’ruly exceptional in theii money saving character. Ladies who are> keen bargain buyers are surprised beyond measure at the ruthlessly reduced prices on seasonable goods which are everywhere apparent. To those who want to make their money do its full share, this is a grand opportunity. Especially are the bargains attractive in the showroom, where high quality goods are offering at prices that are decidedly favourable to modest purses. Ladies’ Coats and Costumes, and Maid’s and Children’s Coats are conspicuous for their greatly reduced prices, an# are certainly worthy of cho consideration of every economical barer. . x
