BLANKETS, RUGS, OVERCOATS. ADVANCE SALES. AT THE MELBOURNE. At no other period in our whole history have we been enabled to offer such astounding values in staple goods as at j present. Various reasons may be adduced to show the reasons for this happy state of affairs, wider buying scopedue to the increase in the number of our branches—and foresight in forward buying when the price of wool was low. Our five Taranaki stores distribute such a huge volume of merchandise that manufacturers and "jobbers" are eager competitors for our "spot" cash business, with the result that we buy and sell at prices that make our competitors fairly wonder "how it's done." Just as we benefit by our 'spot" cash buying; methods, so does the buyer who deals' at our stores, because the savings effected by us are in turn passed on to. him, thus consolidating our goodwill and increasing our sales. The saving on these offerings are fine examples of the benefits derived bv shopping at the Melbourne.
