LATE COMMERCIAL

STOCK EXCHANGE. (Per United Press Association). AUCKLAND, June 9. Sales—Auckland Harbour Board 6 per cent, debentures, £lO6 10/-; Waihi, 27/6. SMITH’S. 22 links in the chain of years. Every link has been forged in the fire of honest purpose and welded with an untiring energy encouraged by achievements. The history of the Progressive Stores means more than the change and growth of the building, from frame to brick, from brick to stone and steel. It represents the success of earnest endeavour and honest merchandise. It means the recognition that has come because it has been earned by upright methods and hard work. From 1900 to 1923, twenty-two busy years, there has never been a slackening in the effort to improve. These twenty-two years of success means much for you. It places at your disposal the offerings and the services of one of the most modem and progressive stores in the Dominion. It protects your every purchase with an irreproachable good name and the highest standards of value. Great preparations have been made for the biggest drive in our history. Over £75,000 of new and fashionable drapery, clothing, furnishings and wearing apparel of every description will be piled out and on sale in all departments, to welcome back the peoples’ favourite shopping day. Watch the papers for special aeroplane announcements. It will be to your advantage to visit Southland’s largest Departmental Stores, and view our grand display and wonderful offerings. They are worth coming many miles to see. Every one of our efficient staff will gladly show you round. H. & J. SMITH, Ltd., Progressive Stores, Tay and Kelvin Streets, Invercargill and Main Street, Gore.— (Advt).
