AN ANNOUNCEMENT by WOOL WORTHS Tlie citizens of Wellington have expressed so much interest in the pending opening next month! of our Store in Willis Street that we feel a few facts about our organisation will be of interest. ' , ■ ' ' • '• ;.: :; THE COMPANY: This New Zealand Company already successfully operates Eight Stores throughout the Dominion in the following centres:—Queen Street, Auckland; Karangahape Road, Auckland; High Street, Christ church; Princes Street, Dunedin; Broadway Avenue, Palmerst on North; Victoria Avenue, Wanganui; Dee Street, Invercargill; Cuba Street, Wellington; and now Willis Street., Wellington. . SHARES : Every share is held by New Zealanders arid .. Australians. • _ '.-■■• ••'■'.■• ■■• STAFF: Realising that a large measure of our success depends on the service given by our Staff to customers, we encourage our assistants by paying wages, in many instances, much in excess of the rates laid down in the Shop Assistants' Award. For example—no assistant in Woolworths receives less than £1 per week and furthermore 216 female employees (104 Seniors and 112 Juniors) out of a total of 333 receive above Award rates. We have by concessions and privileges , . bettered the working conditions of our Staff generally. For example last year every Woolworth assistant was granted one extra week's holiday on full pay. Our advertisement for shop assistants appears elsewhere in this issue. In accordance with the Company's policy we are engaging the staff from the residents of the town in which our Store operates.

Zealand made Goods, and then to Goods made within the British Empire. To-day, 93 per cent, of our turnover is made on British Empire Products, Our 8 Stores already serve 16 million customers annually. This huge turnover permits us to buy in quantities, which bring ' surprisingly good quality products at low prices.
