The name of James Smith Ltd. has been associated with many noteworthy purchases of big drapery stocks during recent years, but none have promised greater savings than this big cash purchase of the assigned stock of the CRESCENT MANUFACTURING CO., of Christchurch. As stated in the letter from the liquidators (reproduced) our tender of 10/3 in £ was successful and we have lost no time' in placing this stupendous offer before our customers. An outstanding feature of this big cash purchase is the fact that all the >. goods, which are of an exceptionally high quality, are new and fresh, never having been shown to the public or offered for sale. Following our usual policy, the whole of the big saving of 9/9 in the £ will be passed on to our customers; while our big stocks of general j drapery will be drastically reduced. - : .- - T«.ta»*M> _■. : ■ • - : ' : ■ ..»■■._ ■-... ■■ ■ TELEPHONE 2578 s.i" -.„■■„ *v oi .r^: T EO ,,«.
