SALE OF LADIES' BLOUSES

SENSATIONAL BARGAINS AT THE MELBOURNE. We sometimes tell the "why" of a bargain—tell it in few words. For example, an English Mouse manufacturer offered his complete range of spring am! .summer samples to our buyer at •a discount o'f 25 per cent. Our buyer declined, but a few days -dater made a sporting offer to take ithe lots at 33 1-3 per cent. off. We got them. Now you have heard a lot lately about 33 l-3rd discount; just see how it works out in this instance. Supposing, for the sake of argument, that the maker's price for a blouse was ss. I'M*, less 33 1-3 ncr cent., bring 6 the How , price down to 3s 4d. Now add to this our landing charges of 40 per cent., and the manufacturer's 5s blouse in England lands here in our store for 4s Bd. After nutting on our usual small working profit we arc thus able to sell at practically what was the maker's original price to the wholesale. You will see that a "job" discount like this from a maker is quite a different "horse" from a "inb" discount from a warehouseman. We tell you all this because we think there is no better way to advertise these ladies blouses than to explain how We bought them. Common sense will show von that you arc going to make a savins of 50 to 100 per pent. The lot eomprisofi linens, striped and fancy crashes, delaines, hopsacks, silk muslins, Indian linens, voile*, all-over white embroidered, etc., and all have collars. Manv are trimmed with latest _ fancy buttons, and some have tucked f'-ouis. .The new fishmoutb sleeve and fancy ties and tassels are much in cvi.l»nv. Prices arc Is fid to 8s (Id.
