Lorna London wishes All You Mothers - "HAPPY HOLIDAY TO-MORROW" This past week has been a very busy one for us all in the Alert Store. Mother's Day Gift shoppers and Mail Orders have kept us on our toes. The arrival of the 3-ply English knitting wool early in the week created quite a stir—but then the colours were so very lovely and the quality of a much higher-than-usual standard that word soon spread round town and we had to cope with a positive avalanche of requests. The original shipment from England has been sorely depleted but if you care to write early I may be able to send you some 2oz. skeins at 1/9 oz. The colours still available are Royal and Navy Blue, Maroon, Lemon, Bottle Green, Skv Blue, Nigger Brown, Blue Mixture and Pink Mixtures the latter two being very attractive. Don't forget to write’soon for our stocks will not hold out very much longer. Our special offering of Children's Coats is still creating a lot of interest—to most visiters it seemed hardly possible that we could make such a bulk purchase and yet get the large number of individual style* and attractive tonings—but it is true . . . there are 50 distinctively individual stylings and variations of 19 different tonings. Do you remember the prices? That's right . . . they're from as low as 79/6 each. But then this is not unusual for Londontown, the Store that HAS increased the purchasing power of Wanganui and Surrounding Districts Make a point of seeing this very, very special range of Coats when next in town—and remember—write NOW if you require any of this beautiful English 3 Ply Knitting Wool (1/9 oi.J.
