Great Britain's Volunteer Force of 240,000 is maintained at a coat of under .£BOO,OOO a year —less than .£4 a head. Ladies and Gentlemen, if you have not already visited the surplus stock sale at Mr C. Smith’s of drapery and clothing, I would strongly advise you to do so without delay. He is selling splendid dress materials at Is lid, 2s lid, 3s Hd per dress, and first-rate boys’ worsted knickor hose, la all sizes, and a lovely lot of millinery bonnets at 8s lid, worth from 20s to 30s j ball nets in all shades 4Jd, and beautiful evening shades in nun’s veilings and orepons at 8s lid per dress; and about two thousand boys’ knioker suits, 3s lid to 5s lid, worth twice the money.—Adyt. The Pear Tree brand of waterproof garments aro said to be perfect, both for health and comfort. They are odourless, sewn and taped throughout, well ventilated and guaranteed thoroughly waterproof. Only the leading drapers and outfitters keep this particular brand of goods in stock, and customers should see, when buying an article, that it hears the trade mark of the manufacturers. The making of the goods is rapidly developing into an important local industry, and this fact, added to the excellent workmanship put into every prticle, makes it worthy of the support of all New Zealanders. .
