NINE MORE DAYS

If you owned a large retail store and you had only nine more days left in which to make a final clearance of your winter’s stocks—what would you do ? We know 1 You’d get a move on—you’d cut prices to but a fraction of their regular worth—you’d let the red pencil take charge—and you’d tell the people about it. That is exactly what Smiths are doing—they’ve let the red pencil take charge, and here are a few examples of the havoc he has wrought— Heavy-weight fugi silk, 30in wide, is reduced from 3/6 to 2/6; 54in. navy serge from 10/6 to 6/11; Georgettes from 8/11 to 5/11; Ayr wool from 10/9 lb to 7/6 lb; embroideries, 6 to 12in, to 1/3 to clear; doctor flannel at 2/6; double width madapolam at 1/-; double bed white blankets at 25/- pair; double bed grey blankets at 19/6 pair; men’s heavy all wool socks 1/3 pair; noys’ striped shirts at 3/11 —and hundreds of others I These are memorable days for shoppers at Smiths—see the 30 wonder windows—read the advertisement on page 7, and call or post your order to H. & J. Smith, Ltd, Tay street, Invercargill.
