[ ■ ■ * ■ MB Ceases To-day ▼ A Stunt that Flopped! Candidly, we planned a stunt, and it failed, flopped miserably. The new Postal Regulations were the cause. We organised a big Mail Order campaign and bought 250 Alarm Clocks to be used in connection with it. Then the budget axe fell, and we had to abandon the stunt. Clocks are not in our line, so we are going to sell them cheap. They actually cost us 5/2 each, and now we’re going to toss them out at 5/- ea-they would be real good value at 10/- each. Gee 1 you ought to hear their cheerful ring—makes you enjoy getting out of bed. They’re reliable timepieces, with a convenient regulator, which you are not likely to have to use. They’re enamelled in the modern note, bright, cheerful colours. Remember there are only 250 of these clocks in Christchurch, and they’ll all be gone in a day or two at this absurd price.

It will officially cease To-day. In the past it has been very convenient to dial 396, and have the correct time given immediately. Many a clock has gone without attention just because it could be corrected every morning. Now it will have to be taken to the repairer, and made reliable, or replaced by a new one, bought from the stocks of the advertisers on this page.
