Lewiston Merchants Week.

Lewiston and Auburn are enthusiastic
over Merchants Week and no energy is
being spared which would tend to make
it the biggest and best ever. The follow
ing matter clipped from the Lewiston
Sun. is of interest:
While Merchants Week this year
promises to eclipse in many ways all pre-
vious efforts by local merchants in this
direction the grand exhibition of manu-
featured products of local industries in
City Hall. will be great feature. Local
merchants do not believe in doing things
by halves, and already the special COM
mittee, consisting of Mr.. Perry of the f..
s. Paul & Co.. and Mr.. King of the Low
King Co., has interviewed the manufac-
turers in both cities, to make sure that
the proposed exhibition will be general
and include a great variety of the manu-
featured products of these cities. All of
the big manufacturers are enthusiast
caly in favor of the scheme and will aid
in every possible way to make the exh-
bition a great attraction and an unqual-
fled success.
Lewiston City Hall has been engaged
for the entire week and the matter of
installing the exhibits will begin in ample
time TO insure lHt SSSlelllitit
lfent of all of the different lines of manu-
featured goods turned out by local mills
and shops. The variety of manufactu
products turned out by local industries.
is surprisingly large and the exhibition
will be of instructive interest to all Ad
mission to the hall will be free, and there
will be attendants on hand to give ont
any information desired.
The plan is receiving enthusiastic sup
port on all sides. The manufacturers.
the merchants and the people in general
who have heard of the proposed plan be-
lieve that it will result beneticially to all
concerned. The quality, quantity and
variety of goods manufactured in these
two cities stand second to none of similar
population in the country. They have the
goods andnow they propose to show them.
1t has been suggested that when the peo-
pie have q better understanding OF the
quantity and quality of local products.
they will see more clearly the advantage
of patronizing home industries. The
scheme is to be carried out on big scale
and its success is already assured. The
exhibits will include those of the Lewis
ton mills. Auburn shoe shops, Androscog
gin Foundry Co., etc. Many smaller in
dustries also the wholesalers will have
attractive exhibits.
The Lewiston and Auburn merchants
believe in Showing the public" that
these cities are really and truly thettrad-
ing center sof Maine. That they have thu
quality and variety of goods at right
prices and that those who spend their
holiday money in these cities will make
no mistake.
