GROCERS SHOPS BESIEGED.

NATIONAL ECONOMY BONDS SELLING EAST. Dunedin has launched many enterprises, showing the rest of New -Zealand that progressive movements, leadership, may always be expected of our southern city. National economy bonds, issued by Oswald M. Smith and Co. Ltd., head office Dunedin, owners of eighty wholesale and retail stores throughout New Zealand, have appealed tremendously to keen housewives. To buy groceries, tobacco, and other household necessities at lowest of prices, with lower prices yet to come, less a cash discount of 2$ per cent., is an opportunity too good to be missed. Householders will give continued support to National Economy Bonds, issued at £1 only, terms if desired. They are obtainable at any Star Stores shop, where groceries are to be cheaper than ever, where quality is a watchword, combined with quick service, and delivery if necessary. A discount of 2.]- per cent, on Star Stores low, and yet to be lower, prices, is something greater than a discount on prices considerably higher elsewhere. Housewives, husbands of Dunedin, see that yon purchase your National Economy Bond for £1 to-day, thereby keeping household expenses down. Discounts on lower prices will be worth collecting. The Star Stores are issuing discount coupons which are payable in cash from to-day._ In the north many husbands are buying bonds and entering their wives’ names thereon, tho action and thought undoubtedly being appreciated by wives. That the scheme to cheapen cost of living is being widely discussed is evidenced by the fact that an organisation with big chain stores throughout Australia—who wore supplied with advance proof copies of prospectus by the New Zealand advertising agents—cabling asking for complete prospectus. It is reported the shops of tbo Oswald Smith group were last weekend throughout New Zealand besieged by keen housewives and husbands purchasing bonds.—[Advt.'l
