THE COLOSSAL.

C61ossal. — That is the name applied to the half-yearly clearing saies engimeered by Messrs Price and Bullied, Ltd., Tay street. They have one now in progress, and in passing We might incidentally mention that it will terminate on Saturday of next week, the 31st. These saies are now so well established in favour with the buyers from town and country alike, that it is not surprising that they have positively assumed "colossal" dimensions. To the ordinary individual uinitiated into the secrets, and we presume there are secrets, of succe&sfully running a cheap sale, the work involved is certainly not apparent. Messrs Price and Bullied's system and met-hod is unquestionably up-to-date. They prepare most thoroughly and display their wares in such a manner that to do business is a matter of the slightest trouble. A review of the various departments and sections will bear this out. While not wishiag to unduly lengthen this article it would not he amiss to make some slight reference to the class of goods supplied by Messrs Price and Bullied, Ltd., and the sources from which these sanue supplies are ohtained. The standing instructions to all buyers include, amongst others, the importaiit one of quality. There is a stamp of quality apparent in all stoeks selected by the departmental buyers. Now as to the sources of supply, the very best markets at Home and abroad are open to this firm. They have a London representative looking. after their interests on the other side of the world, and the colonial manufactured goods are selected from the Dominion's leading mills and factories. Under these , conditions it is not therefore surprising that the firm do a large and remup.erative business over a wide area of this Dominion, and that when such goods as they stock generally are offered, as in the present instance, at sale prices that "Colossal" saies assume such dimensions.
