DOLLAR SILK DEPARTMENT OPENED,

A Dollar silk department has beon added to the Sinceres, Dollar Store, Youmati. Real Chineso silks! of various valuss and numerous de-" signs will be sold there but the cost i of same will not exceed a dollar.' With the spring very much in evidence and everyone thinking of now dresses for the sunny days, the new department hopes to do a brisk trade.

Kowloon daily becomes more im- portant to the colony and the Sin-! cere Yaumati branch opened in the year 1919 does not lag behind the times. To provide suitable" space i for the new silk 'department slight alterations in the arrangements of the store have been found necessary and instead of the 10c. 20c. 306. ete, up to the value of one doller stalls, there are now 100 25c. 60c 75c. and dollar departments. These 'new bargain counters should prove more attractive as they offer a wider scope and provide easy access to the commodities displayed. Many new spring lines and novelities are now for sale at really attractive prices.

A visit to the store is to be re- commended but telophoric orders are given prompt attention and Kowloon residents are invited to just ring through for their require monts which will be executed with every care.
