No. 1 AUCKLAND, SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1929 Telephone 40-940 Happy Sequel to Apparent Dilemma! John H. Comfort says “It’s hard to believe” Residents of Epsom were startled yesterday morning when a big furniture van pulled up outside the home of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Comfort. Surefy the Comforts were not leaving yet out came a lot of furniture, which was promptly put inside this van. Of course, Mrs. Oldham Chesterfield popped over to the Comforts right away to find out what it was all about. “You’re not leaving us, Joan?’’ asked Mrs. C. “Leaving you? Oh, no! We like it here too much,” was Mrs. Comfort’s reply. “We are just refurnishing the home. John and I grew a little tired of the old furniture we’ve had it since we were married, ten years ago so we decided to get something new, and more comfortable, and more up-to-date. Tonson Garlick’s sale decided us, and, really, you’ll be surprised what we’ve saved through going there. I got such a lot of those little extras we’ve always wanted, too a spare bridge table, and an extra smoke stand for John, and so on. “And when John came to pay the bill you know what men are when there’s paying-out to be done he said, ‘By Jove, Joan, this is a surprise. I can hardly believe we’ve got so much for our money.’ “So, there you are!” And Mrs. Oldham Chesterfield, our readers will be glad to know, came straight to Tonson Garlicks and took full advantage of the sale prices to refurnish her Living Room and Bedroom. 5^ Odds and Ends There’s a Rimu Settee going on the auction block at 34/6.

Yes, mistakes do occur, and the fallibility of the most brilliant merchants is brought home to roost. It is not always possible to gauge public taste. Sometimes a highly optimistic buyer over-estimates his requirements—and gets left with a surplus stock that keeps him at his wits’ end to know what to do about it. Another time something will go out of fashion over night, and the store gets left with a line of goods that are mighty hard to find buyers for. In the meantime the results of these very human errors are taking up very valuable floor space; they’re also keeping capital tied up, and with constant inspection and moving are getting shop-worn. Ancf then we begin to get annoyed each time we see these stubborn items. We want to get rid of these “guests who have outgrown their welcome.” What could be more fitting then than to tell you the truth about their unhappy past. There will be no making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear —just plain unvarnished facts—even if it hurts. First of all, though, we had to make the prices right, and you can take it from us that they are unusually good—(if you heard the protests from our accountant you’d not want further, proof—he says these sacrifices are keeping him awake at nights). However, that’s our funeral—the bright side of the picture is yours—you know the old proverb—“an ill wind, etc.” Confession is Good for the Soul ! Just to make this a little more like the page of a newspaper, we must, of course, say something about Free Insurance. Well, there’s a special paragraph devoted to it on the left.
