£3500 WORTH OF BOOTS.

TO SELL IN THREE WEEKS.

There's a proposition. It would appal some people. But Stewart Robinson tackles the job with a snula. Just £3500 worth of new stock, bought in the prist few weeks, are going to te sold for spot cash over Stewart Robineon's counter, in Cashol Street, before June 10 next. There won't be any worry about it. The people are so sure of Stewart Robinson's values that the shop will bo kept right busy. No man in Christchurch has ever sold so many boots and shoes to perfectly satisfied customers. The reason is not far to seek —tho prices are lower, and the values are biguer. ... . ~ Mr Robinson told something of n » selling plan "to a " Lyttelton Times representative yesterday. Wo are boot salesmen,'* he said. "We buy enormous quantities of boots, but we buy them to sell. We don t hold stocks—we sell them. In the past few months we have brought m *,3juu worth of footwear. Every pair is for immediate sale. Every customer can depend upon petting what he or she asks for, if it is in stock." " But." queried tho newspaper man," is it wise to go on soiling at such low prices when you know that wholesale prices are rising bo fastr You know you can't replace at anything like these figures." > " I'm going to take the risk. 1 m fortunate in having very big stocks, as you've just seen for yourself. As long as I've got the boots I'm going to sell. I've got a big staff, and I've got to keep them busy. These prices will do it. Nearly every pair of boots and shoes in the list von are publishing in your paper for me on Wednesday is offered at less than to-day's wholesale price. Emphasise that. "My obiect is to keep on selling boots—selling rapidly. What's the good of hanging on for a higher price when low prices bring a quick return? Refer to Stewart Robinson's big advertisement on page two of this issue. Whilst most of tho lines aie held in goodly quantities, the nnces suggest the necessitv for petting in early. The stock-taking sale opens to-day. t
