Men join the bargain trail
Belfast's
bargain hunters hit the sale-trail again to-day. On
this, the third day of the winter sales season the city stores were
attracting men as well as women hunting for those bargains.
Most people seemed to be looking for clothes. Mrs. Hilda
McCabe, of Waveney Park, Belfast, came out of one Royal Avenue store
delighted with a new winter coat - a bargain at £15. "I really
only went in to look but I'm delighted with the coat," she said.
"There was £3 knocked off it." For Mrs.
Gertrude McKee, of Tudor Oaks, Holywood, the goal was a new pair of
boots to keep out the winter cold. The sales are a "beanfeast"
for the students, especially 18-year old Miss Christine Long, of
Victoria Road, Larne. "I'm going to get a pair of trousers,"
she said, "I only intend to pay £2 for them so I expect I'll have to
have a good look to get them. But I'm not paying any more." She and her
friend Miss Judith McKinler (19), of Bay Road, Larne, were spending
some of their college holidays combing the sales for "best buys." The boys
were bargain hunting too, Mr. Terry Black (24), of Sea - unfortunately there is no more
