And 100 persons (mostly women) stor- Su WIP View Au vA cis Hall on Bond Street Inside - - a rumage sale, "The line - up began a half hour early and when they heard something about go - we had a rush on our. hands,' said Mrs. E.R, Snow, publicity of- ficer for the Golden Jubilee Chapter of the IODE, which sponsored the sale. They 'darted towards the U- shaped 'counter' armed with cardboard boxes to fill with the spoils, Racks of second ~ hand clo- thes for men, women and child- ter were lined along one side of the hall, LEGLESS TABLE On the other side, miscell- less cardtable, a barrel - chair with a broken seat, and a child's circular playpen were scattered on the floor, Assembled on the counter were; a wide array of wear- ing apparel, one old vegetable masher, four rolls of wallpaper, one doll with a broken neck, a box of baby food, empty rel- ish and pickle jars, a bicycle bell, several combs with more or less all the teeth intact and a pink toilet cover. Other articles for sale inclu- ded: an unassembled christmas chime, one golf bag without clubs, records, a workman's lunch pail, a plastic bag of rol- lers, a popcorn cooker and a bust of an unidentifiable man. Men's ties and hats were in great abundance as were sec- ond - hand shoes that occupied the surface space of several tables. PRICE RIGHT The rummage sale offered everything from artificial flow- ers to torn 'nylon stockings. And, the price was right. "Just a few of the goods have general prices, but for the most part we bargain with the cus- tomers who like to get the prices down," said Mrs. Don- ald Brown, regent of the Golden Jubilee Chapter, One lady bought a pair of men's black leather boots, sev- eral dish cloths and a lemon strainer for 95 cents. Another snatched at a steam iron for $1 not knowing if the steam worked or not, Another bargain - hunter bought a broken electric radio for 10 cents with the hope that it might be repaired. Standard prices were set on ladies' coats and suits -- $1.50 and dresses ---$l. 'Children's coats sold for 75 cents and as- sorted shoes for 50 and 25 cents, TOO BIG "If I had been smaller, I could have bought a sult," said a customer who said he wore a size 52 in clothes. But he was able to buy a bottle of pre- shaving lotion (almost full), socks and shirts for 50 cents, "I think I am satisfied," said \a lady who bought a wool vest and a table cloth for 25 cents, A man who bought a pair of Size eight ski poois for excur- sions north of Cobourg said the boots were "by no means new" but he thought he could fit them. He paid 50 cents for them. In one corner of the hall, a three - year - old boy called Tommy was playing with some children's records, "See the broken records? Do you think I should buy them," he said. Tommy's mother did buy him three of the records . for five cents but not to play on the hi-fi, "Tommy likes to =. hie 4 the records even if "re : cracked," said his grand. ~ mother, But Tommy's hesitant mother said: "Yes, but he might like to play with them on my stereo," - TORN NYLONS A woman described her pur- chase this way: "She charged me 15° or' 20 cents for a box of torn nylons but maybe I can match them up with some I have at home, At the bargaining fable, comments like: "This shirt ts worth 15 cents wouldn't you say?", or "I'll give you 50 cents for that," or "Is a $1.20 too much for you," were heard frequently. ren either for summer or win- Dhe Oshawa Simes OSHAWA, ONTARIO, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1966 Taylor Blasts GM Cut-Off 5 evees|of the company's insincerity in|exceeded that figure. fess pee wot gg ye : rl dential with layotts.
