WHY NOT INVITE TRADH'
Excursions on Special Days Would
Helm Merchants.

The success OF "trade excursions"
In other towns has attracted attention
from the merchants here and many
believe 1t would be a good thing to
inaugurate the plan in this city. The
News suggests that the merchants Of
Abilene get together and arrange for
trade excursions from Woodbine, En-
terprise, Herlngton, Hope, Solomon
and Chapman. The trains run so
that the people coming from these
towns could have plenty Of time to
trade before returning home. And II
the merchants would organize and 60
at the matter in a business way 1t is
certain that the railroads would give
them such low excursion rates as
would bring hundreds Of people from
these towns to Abilene to trade. Ar.
range a special bargain day for at
least one excursion every month, ad-
vertise II and then note the success
which will attend 1t.
There Is no better time than now
to inauguratc such q scheme and we
hope to see our merchants take the
matter up and arrange for trade OK.
