SALE OF LADIES' BLOUSES

SENSATIONAL BARGAINS AT THE MELBOURNE. We sometimes tell the "why" of r '' bargain—tell it in few words. For exf ample, an English blouse manufacturer '" offered his complete range of spring and '" summer samples to our buyer at '' in discount of 25 per cent. Oar " ibuyer declined, but a few days • biter made a spurting offer to take f the lots at 33 1-3 per cent. off. We got 11 them. Now you have heard a lot lateiy • about 33 1-3' rd discount; just see how 1 it works out in this instance. Supprwl ing, for the sake of argument, that the f maker's price for a blouse was ss. This, i less 33 1-3 per cent., brings the Home i 1 price down to 3s 4d. Now add to th's I our landing charges of 40 per cent., and . the manufacturer's 5s blouse in England '.i lands here in our store for 4s Bd. After I putting on our usual small working pro- ; fit we are thus able to sell at practically > what was the maker's original price :o the wholesale. Yon will see that a i "job" discount like this from a maker , is quite a different "horse" from a "job" 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, you that you are going to make a Baving of 50 to 100 per cent. The lot comprises linens, striped and fancy crashes, defames, hopsacks, silk muslins, Indian linens, voiles, all-ov.r white embroidered, etc., and all have collars. Many are trimmed with latest fancy buttons, and some have tucked fronts. The new fi.hmoiith sleeve and fancy ties and tassels are much in evidence. Prices arc Is 6d to 8s 6d. Sale is for seven days only.—Advt.
