NEW ZEALAND RETURNED SOLDIERS' ASSOCIATION.

CLOTHING FOR SALE BY DEFENCE DEPARTMENT. With further reference to the above matter I have pow to inform you as follows : — • 1. The enclosed list, which has been supplied to me by the local Defence Headquarters, is the one that must he used in making up requisitions. The lists and prices previously supplied to you were those supplied to me by Headquarters oi the R.S.A., and they differ materially from those now supplied, which Defence Headquarters assure me to be correct. The issue of the new list may cause some confusion, but the trouble ; has emanated from Wellington and not from here. It will be noticed that some articles mentioned in the R.S.A. list are not included in the new one and vice versa, while some of the prices are also different. 2. The new list shows the maximum number of each article that may he ordered by a-ny individual. 3. So far as country members are concerned I have arranged that, if local Associations send me lists in duplicate showing the names and addresses of members and the number s of articles r.equired by each, the Defence Department will post the goods direet to the members free. These lists must show clearly the name and address of each man, the number and description (including grade and size where necessary) of each article required, and the price of it. 4. Goods for men residin-g in Dunedin will be supplied to the Dunedin Association in hulk, and the Association will have to be responsible for the distribution to the men. If other Associations prefer to do so, they also may send in one big requisition, have the goods forwarded to them in bulk. and arrange for the distribution to their members. 5. The goods will not be on view in Dunedin until 1st December by which date saies for country districts will be completed. Any member who wishes to see the goods before purchasing will therefore have to make his own purchase at the Defence Stores and take delivery of his own goods. 6. Full particulars will be advertised in the course of a week or so for the benefit of the general public. Will you please note that requisitions are to reach me not later than November 25th, they are to be in duplicate, and must be accompanied by cash. The following is a list of the articles for sale.
