The people yon envy most are the people who get everything they want out of a lower income than yours. W© know most of these people,' we often see them on “Our Premises” getting what they want. Our, low profit and quick turnover method explained in familiar language, is just! merely “More Thingsi Per £.” That is the secret, and anyone i s welcome to share it with people who get what they wlint. —The Auckland Warehouse Drapery and Clothing Store, near Post Office, who brought prices dovr*
