HOLMES BROS. WINTER SALE.
In accordance with their policy of giving to the shopping public seasonable goods at the height of the season and at lowest prices possible, Holmes Bros. make a special announcement in a full page advertisement which appears on Page 9. This sale of winter goods will commence at 9 o’clock on Monday morning.
As a result of better buying facilities made possible by the large quantaties needed for the Bundaberg and Mackay stores, goods have been bought at prices never before thought possible, and these advantages are now being passed on to the shopping public.
A close perusal of Holmes Bros. full page advertisment will convince readers of this statement. Many items are selling at prices which represent approximately half to-day’s retail value. The opening hour’s bargains include remnants of dress goods, at one-third usual price.
Blankets will be needed very soon,
