BLANKETS, RUGS, OVERCOATS. ADVANCE SALES. AT THE MELBOURNE. s c At no other period in our whole his- ' : tory have we been enabled to offer such s astounding values in staple goods as at j present. Various reasons may be ad- i duccd to show the reasons for this happy ' state of affairs, wider buying scope— <- due to the increase in the number of i our branches—and foresight in forward > buying when the price of wool was low. i Our five Taranaki stores distribute ] such a huge volume of merchandise that i manufacturers and "jobbers" are eager i competitors for our "spot" cash business, with the result that we buy and sell at prices that make our competitors fairly wonder "how it's done." Just ~ as we benefit by our 'spot" cash buying i methods, so docs the buyer who deals | at our stores, because the savings effected by us are in turn passed on to . him, thus consolidating our goodwill . and increasing our sales. The savings on these offerings are fi'ie examples of ' the benefits derived by shopping at the ' Melbourne.
