A WEATHER DISASTER.
"What’s wrong with the weather? Tliat’s what everybody wants to know, and although Rev. Hates tells ns pretty correctly what is coining, lie does not tell us the “why and the wherefore.” Anyhow, it has completely knocked the life out of the Drapery Trade, and brought about the most serious setback to the sale of Summer Goods, that the writer, during 35 years’ experience, has ever known. However, “Nil dosperandnm,” the Robinsons “Never say die.” They believe in taking life as it comes, and making the best of it. They have determined to move out their season’s stock, a great part of which lias just arrived ex “lonic” and
“Turakina,” at the same keen cut prices—irrespective of profit in some lines—as they do at their After-Sea-son-Sales. This means that they are going to do now what they usually do at the end of February— hold a big realising sale of their splendid stash, for cash only, as a Christmas greeting. Tin’s sale will start on Saturday Next. December 16th, at Robinson’s. Manchester House. x
