ECONOMY AT THORPY’S

There are a lot of funny and sarcastic things said about bargain hunters and sales, but there are few people who can resist the temptation to economise and at the same time gain every satisfaction with the goods procured. Messrs Thorpy’s Ltd., of Greymouth, give every genuine Greymouth shopper an admirable chance to cut down living costs at this critical period, in announcing a great Salvage Sale, to commence to-morrow at 9 a.m. You will remember Collins Bros’, big Christchurch fire. Thorpy’s have rendered Greymouth people a service in buying up Collins Bros, salvage, only a small portion of which smoke and water has damaged. The majority of the salvaged goods are in first class condition. Elsewhere .in the “Star” appears a listed advertisement of some of the bargains made possible by Thorpy’s. The insurance companies paid out, and gave the Greymouth firm the chance to cut prices so much that the Sale is the greatest below par Sale of Drapery and Clothing ever held in Greymouth. Every member of the community is catered for equallj r well. A glimpse at each department may give you a slight idea of what a glorious day’s bargaining is in store for you. What do you think of these?—Ladies’ and Children’s Ripple Cloth DressingJackets, at 4/11 each. Children’s smoke-soiled Nightdresses 1/10 each. Children’s Woollen Jumpers, Salvage Price 3/8 each. Thorpy’s could quote hundreds of snips just as sensational. Wives will rush the Quilt department. Could you resist this? —120 Fine Quality Honeycomb Quilts, fewonly slightly smoke soiled.
