Shopping By Post.

MAIL order shopping, as a convenient method of purchasing any require ments, should commend itself to residents of the Pacific Islands. The difficulty connected with it, however, is that it often savours of “buying a pig in a poke,” as the buyer is very often in the dark as to what his purchase will turn out to be. To anyone possessed of the mail-order catalogue issued this month by Messrs. Anthony Hordern and Sons, Ltd., the process is made nearly as simple and clear as buying over the counter. The catalogue is profusely illustrated and lists all the “Senior Stores” goods, giving prices. A page of advice and information to mail-order shoppers should also be found helpful.
