Our buyer declined, but a few days later made a snorting oiler to take the lots at 33 1-3 per cent. off. Wo got thnm. Now you have heard a lot lately it 33 l-3rd discount; just sec now „„ rforka out in this instance. Suppming, for the sake of argument, that the akcr's price for a blouse was as. Tin*, j ss 33 1-3 per cent., brings the Home price down to 3s 4d. Now add to th:« our landing charges of 40 per cent, and the manufacturer's 5s blouse in England lands here in our store-lor 4s Bd. Aft-'r putting on our usual small working prolit we arc thus able to sell at practically what was the maker's original price io the wholesale. You will sec that <i ••job" discount like this from a maker is quite a different "horse" from a "job" discount from a warehouseman. W e tell you all this because we think there is no better way to advertise these ladies' blouses than to explain low iwe bought them. Common sense will show you that you are going to make a saving of 50 to 100 per cent. fancy crashes, delaines, hopsacks, silk muslins.
