THE QEEAT SALE AT THE ECONOMIC. Messrs George and Kertdey report that the first week of their fourth half-yearly sale has j been the largest and most successful they hare yet had, far eclipsing the previous ones.

Today Messrs George and Kersley announce a fresh batch of wonderful bargains. For instance, the/ will offer 700yds of silk-finished shell and Indian art muslin, worth 6s per dozen yards, for 2s lid and 3a lid the dozen yards, in many of the newest art shades suitable for draplngs, drosses, decorations, &c.; also a quantity of shot-corded ribbons at 6id per yard, worth double. In the showroom a number of the very best mackintoshes in stock, originally marked up to 57a 6d, wil* be offered at 37s 6d each. The rush for the capes and jackets, from Is 9d to 30s each, still continues. The cry ia—Still they come [ And no wonder; for, in the words of the “ Economic ” poott — ’Twas deeds that won the Empire, ’Tia value wins the trade. 301
