Factory direct sale set for next week

TWO LONG-TIME North Shore
residents are pooling theic talents
to kick off a new fashion venture
this Thursday.

Ron Gilmore and Connie
Leroux will open the doors of
Fashion Corner to shoppers for
factory direct sales from April 25
to April 28. The clothes on sale
are designed and nianufactured at
the Venables Street factory.

According to Gilmore, women

per cent cheaper than the current
retail prices. The designer for

well as done freelance designing
for local retailers.

Leroux may be known to many
North Shore residents as the
owner of Misty’s Tea Room in
West Vancouver.

The fashions will be sold at the
factory shop only four days of
each month in order to keep
fabrics and styles seasonal and up
to date. Although smaller sizes
wilt be available, the emphasis will
be on women in the size 14 to 20

range.
Gilmore added that additional
sizes — both large and petite --

wilt be made as warranted by de-
mand.

Styles will include jackets,
skirts, pants, walking shorts and
tops in a coordinated range of
fabrics from fine wools to cottons
with a small collection of
loungewear made in 100 per cent
cotton.

Fashion Corner is compiling a -

mailing fist to inform customers
of future sales and provide an
update of new fashions. Those
who wish to receive the newsletter
