Yikes! But what does "Early bird get's the right size” even mean? It's a bloody awkward sentence even without the superfluous apostrophe. 

I agree it's awkward. I think it's trying to say that merchandise will be
selling so quickly that you can be assured of getting the size you
want only if you arrive early at the sale (as in "The early bird catches
the worm").

remark that she's an American editor and proofreader now living
in Melbourne. (I guess I should also admit that I'm about to add
Australian citizenship on Australia Day :-> )
