SALE OF LADIES' BLOUSES SENSATIONAL BARGAINS AT THE MELBOURNE. We sometimes tell the "why" of ii bargain—tell it in few words. Fur t.v ample, an English blouse manufaetum offered his complete range of spring and summer samples to our buyer at a discount of 25 per cent. Oui buyer declined, but a few days later made a sporting offer to tnkr .the lots at 33 1-3 per cent. off. Wc got tliem. 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 aker's price for a blouse was ss. This,

less 33 1-3 per cent., bring* the Home price down to 3s 4*l. Now add to this our landing charges of 40 per cent., and the lniinufacturcr's 5s blouse in England lands here in our store for 4s Sd. After putting on our usual small working prolit we arc thus able to sell at practically what ivas the maker's original price oo the wholesale. Yon will see that a. "job" discount like this from a .maker is quite a different "horse" from a "job" discount ironi a warehouseman. W e 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 you that you are going to make a saving of 50 to 100 per cent. I The lot comprises linens, striped and fancy trashes, delaines, hopsacks, silk ' muslins, Tndian linens, voiles, ali-ov.»r ' white embroidered, etc., and all have . collars.
