Think of it —a sale of furs right at the beginning of the winter season. This has been made possible by the purchase by the Nevada Fur Cu., Avenue, of all the liquidation stock ot Blandford’s Fur Co., Palmerston North. The sale, which starts on Wednesday, is a most unusual event for this time of year and will giv-e women a marvellous opportunity of securing a lur coat at reduced prices, and one that you would be wise to take advantage of if at all possible. These sale prices will never again be offered as all pells are going up in price. There u- a stock of select coats, including musquash, dyed squirrel, flank musquash and beaver coney —lovely rich skins made in the new styles. They are carefully made, finished to the smallest detail and well lined. Remember that a fur coat, in addition to being a becoming and smart garment, is a form of healthy insurance, as it protects the wearer against colds, 'lhe prudent woman knows that to buy her furs during the sale at the Nevada Fur Co. will save many pounds. , The sale does not start until Wednesday, and there are going to be some amazing bargains.*
