Miss JUNE BENSON THE D.I.C. s MAIL ORDER SHOPPER SAYS—- • Good Morning, Out-of-Town Friends . . . • What a pile of correspondence I have answered this week —all concerning my last Saturday’s letter to you in which I discussed clothes for small daughter. My word, what a host of smartly dressed little girls there will be this year, in their D.I.C. coats and frocks! • Now, to-day I have several items of interest to you all—l spent quite some lime wandering round the Store chatting to the buyers of the various departments. They are all so willing to help me that it is rather difficult to know just what to tell you about for, unfortunately, there isn’t sufficient space for everything I’d like to write. However, first of all, have you seen the snappy little cotton frocks in our Mantle Showroom for only • Probably you read the advertisement for these on Thursday —well, it’s quite true, you’d think they were worth 59/6. I was astounded when I saw the price ticket, only 19/9. Some of them button to the waist, while others button right from neckline to hem—and they are in the brightest, gayest, floral designs that I’ve seen for many a day. Yes. in all sizes, too. from SSW to OS. (2 Coupons). • As I meandered across to the Undie Department, I thought I would ask the buyer if, by any ' chance, she still had a few English Interlock Vests—remember, 1 told you about these a week or so ago. They’re splendid value, with short sleeves, for only . Yes, there are a few left—so if you didn’t write in for yours before. or if you think you’d like yet another one or two, send in your money and coupons now—--2 for each vest. • On another page of this paper you’ll notice an advertisement for “Vitality” Shoes from the D.I.C. Shoe Salon—well, I had a peep at these “Vitality” models myself, and, believe me, it will be well worth your while to pop into the Store and see them next time you’re in town. Of course, they are all one price

And there are, besides really smart shoes for walking, courts for evening or formal wear. • Remember the name—“ Vitality." • Ah! What is that I see over in the Furnishing Department? Why, Frilled Curtain Net! Just in time to give a touch of Spring to your windows, to freshen up your room. Yes, Cream Frilled Curtain Net and the price is—--4/11 Yd - • Tennis Socks—you may think at first that it is a little early to be considering such articles as tennis socks, but here we are into September, and Summer is not so very far away. Quite frankly. I think you’d be wise if you bought two or three pairs of these tennis socks now before they are all sold—they are in shades of blue, green, navy, besides white, and are /<a Pr< only * • Here is something that you are always interested in. I know—hairpins and safely pins. I asked the Haby buyer if she’d put aside a liberal quantity for outof town customers, for it is not every week that you are able to come to town. So just write in to me for your requirements— I’ll post them immediately. • Now. you busy housewives, how about a brand new apron to help brighten the monotony of cleaning and cooking. You know, a fresh, gay, easily-washed apron can act as a real tonic, especially when it’s a colourful floral one such as the D.I.C. can show you, for only 9 By the way, I wonder how many of you saw the delightful window display of pre-war model frocks? Yes, we're back to the days when beauty ruled supreme and these frocks have not only beauty but exclusive simplicity and an attention to detail that is really amazing. Ask to see them in our Mantle Showroom next lime you are in the Store. You’ll fall in love with them all. • And now. until next Saturday, I must cease my scribbling. I'm looking forward to receiving just ns much, if not more, correspondence this coming week, and I know I won't, be disappoinied. Good shopping at the D.I.C.
