C.E.C.A. WAIMATE FIRE SALE.

A hundred and more men and women worked bard all to-day breeJcin.g off case litis and ripping; open littles, receiving anil preparing further salvage bargains J lor the C.F.C.A. lire sale, which re-j opens at Penrose's to-morrow. The I wettest ttitfl most damaged part only! of this la rye stock has been cleared ; j the best and soundest goods will be ! sold this week. It i.s astonishing; to • see tho number of bargains that are! ready for the resumption <>!' the sale on j Tuesday mornings. It i.s clear to every- j one that tlm sales turnover at Penro.-.e's |

must have been unusually heavy during the first three (lavs' business, yet the store seems ns full ns ever, the casual observer being unable to detect any diminution in th'> quantity of goods ! stored there. Kvery fixture is bulging with stuff. Piles of drapery are packed to perilous heights on the top of fixtures or anywhere that room can be found for them. The receiving of such a large quintity of goods as ivkr slocked by the C.F.C.A. would displace j ibe regular stocks of. the largest store.' The charm of it all i.s that it. cannot cosily be exhausted. : shopners from town or country can assure themselves of getting a full supply of salvage bargains for at least another fortnight.' With this stock we shall offer at Is per ypi'd ;i huge quantity of Koslyn allwool flannels flint in the usual way are Is 7.Vd per yard. Quite a run has set in for the salvage sheeting: four men were k"pt working for three days cut- j ling of!' sheeting orders, so great w.'is ! the dfina-od for this lii"\ The eagerness; for flooreloths and linoleums is also | very grent. people recognising that ! these goods are very little worse, in- j deed only the first yard of each roll ; being smoke-stained. The price, how- ! ever, of every yard is salvage price. I Everywhere in the store there are j special bargains. The' most versatile! wants can be made up from the sale of the Canterbury Farmers' Co-operative ■. Assoeintion's stock, which reopens to-! morrow at D o'clock.—[Advt.] j
