SUGGESTIONS FOR GORE SHOPPERS

H. AND J. SMITH, LTD., GORE.

THE CITY STORE.

According to travellers and men who are in a position to judge, Smith’s Gore Store is one of the finest laid out shops in the South Island—in fact, it offers you all the advantages of a City store. Now that the hustle-and-bustle of Christmas is working rapidly to a climax it is good to know that Smith’s spacious aisles and roomy departments offer the greatest shopping comfort and service possible at this time of the year. The Christmas decorations are chosen in the greatest taste, the displays are as cheerful as they are impressive, and the deportment of the whole staff is alertly bright and breezy. Smith’s claim to be the Merry Christmas Store is certainly borne out by the huge crowds that daily throng every depart-

ment. Elaborate arrangements have been made, too, for the reception to Santa Claus, who is due to make a triumphant entry to Toyland on Thursday at 2.30 p.m. Every department seems to have caught the Christmas spirit at its best, and customers have testified to its infectiousness. At this time of the year it is more noticeable than ever that all roads lead to Smith’s, the Merry Christmas Store—the public of Gore knows from experience that for the ultimate in service, efficiency and cheerfulness they MUST shop at Smith’s.
