London, Gora ami Co. aro advertising tlil'co good exchanges in to-night’s wanted known columns. Lull particulars given on application. ( AN UNEXPECTED EVENT, I ()u Friday, .May fith, something unimua! j. in the way of a sale will lake place at I the Kconomic. That. Mich "omul anil cheese" lines such as Manchcsto: and furnishing Roods should he offered «! "silly" prices, hardly sounds foasib’e. Let the firm claims' that it, is perfectly ■true in this case. The director: haw stated that the stocks of these two departments arc much too high and a speedy eoductiun of the same must be made b' - offering the goods regardless of cost. U is confidently expected that there will be very few incomplete ‘‘linen cupboards" in Wanganui when George and Kcrsley’s sale ends.

To-morrow (Friday) an important sale of new furniture will bo held in the Central Hall, (iuyton Street, commencing til 1 o'clock, when a nice lot of articles will bo offered, all made of the best limber, and well -finished. The sale will be conducted by Mr J. 11. Kecsing, on account of Mr Wm. Arthur. See our auction columns for further particulars. The Economic's great clearing sale of Manchester . and furnishing goods starts on Friday, May 9th. at 9 o’clock. Read bargain sheet published in to-night's issue by George ami Kersley, Ltd.! THE BIG AUCTION SALE. Clark and Co.’s auctio'ir sale of bankrupt' stock and travellers’ samples, which took place yesterday and to-day in the Union Hank’s old premises, appears to have been a centre of attraction for bargain hunters. The big ground floor of the building was literally packed with buyers, who found no difficulty in securing their requirements at prices that appeared satisfactory to themselves. “The man behind the hammer" proved himself an expert at keeping thingj “moving". Household goods of every description wore sold at very low prices, clothing, bedding, saddlery, harness, cutlery, and almost any commodity for outdoor and indoor use, being “knocked down” practically at bidders’ own prices. The' sale will bo continued to-morrow at 11 a.in., and on Saturday at 10.30 a.m. HOW TO MAKE A BOARDINGHOUSE PAY! The above is a very vexed question with many ladiis in Wanganui. The advance in juices of labour and the increased cost of living, almost make a solution impossible. A great item ia the replenishing of the linen cupboard from time to time. Damask cloths, table napkins, towels, sheets, pillow sliijw, etc., will wear out, and the problem is where is the best shop to go to to rejilaco them? George and Kersley claim that the .Economic, m the place. Through a decision of the directors, the furnishing and M. * hest.w stocks must be reduced speedily, and, as this has to bo done, something out of the ordinary has to take place. TliL event takes place on Friday morning next, at. 9 o’clock sharp, when the great clearing sale of Manchester and furnishing goods will commence, and the goods, it is said, will be offered at prices strange to Wanganui to effect the desired reduction.
