Remnant Goods Sale and Shipboard Notes
A chaotic blend of catalog like sale items offering ladies coats half price and wide ranges of wool goods, flannelettes, blankets and lingerie flannelettes marked down. The text shifts to brief biographical notes on Lord Pirrie and shipbuilding, then to Commonwealth land surveys, a NSW rugby tour invitation, and finally price cuts by the NSW Flour Mill owners, ending with medical ad copy for Woods Peppermint Cure.
