frank and earnest advertising It so happens, that certain of the English manufacturers from whom we buy are sometimes unable specifically to execute our orders and they substitute send something '‘similar." And more often than otherwise these substitutes don’t happen to be just what we know the public want. It isn’t practical to send them back to England so at keen prices some are sold, the balance “hang-fire” and become "White Elephants. * Even at Sale prices you wouldn’t be interested in some of them, but, how do these appeal to you. Here’s a few examples the best of the bunch we'll admit! 20 Tweed Overcoats Not exactly the latest cuts —last seasou’s, iu fact. Not many different shades to choose from but the materials are O.K. We’ve sold plenty of their kind at £-4/5/- and £5/19/6 and still have to hear of a dissatisfied wearer. There are any number of men about who’ll be glad to have le for £2/2/28 Sports Coats The balance of a shipment of 100 — but they won’t move at normal prices. Mostly smaller sizes—possibly the trouble—would make fine working coats. 12 Velour Felts 15/e 20 Boys ’ Jersey Suits Travellers’ samples—that have got a little soiled. Good as ever otherwise. They are going out at 9/19 Boys’ Tweed Overcoats We sold a goodly number of these at sale prices. These are the balance —well picked over we’ll admit—but worth easily twice the asked price of 17/e A few odd hats—small sizes. They haven’t sold at the normal price of 35/-. But you’d be interested in one at 10/6 Stop—we haven’t said anything about “greatest bargains,” “huge sacrifice,” etc.—no need to—come in and see for yourself. 44 Zephyr Neglige Shirts The colours spoil them —they are the kind nobody seems to be interested in at the normal price of 6/11. We’ll sell them now for 2/11 24 Pairs Fancy Hose Small sizes, and out sizes—we’ve been selling plenty of their kind for as much as 5/6 —but you can have any pair of these at 2/4 Pairs *‘Keltic” Shoes As their brand infers, they were made in Scotland. The manufacturer would weep if he heard we’d cut the usual price of 49/6 down to 29/6 TOE L Victoria lArcade duchlancL “WHITE ELEPHANT" SALE To -morrow and Saturday mr FTHMOf Valuing public confidence, we’ve represented these goods at exactly what they are—so you won’t be disappointed.
