MERCHANTS MAKE BIG EFFORT.

The merchants of any town who
expect to get and hold the trade of
territory in which there is competition
must hustle today. They must pull
together all the merchants all the
time. Morrisville recently had
grand bargain day when large crowds
were drawn to the town and is plan
ming for another. Hardwick recently
had a merchants day that drew a
crowd of 1900 people to town and are
going to have another. Here is an
accurate account of what happened on
Hardwick's day.
The enterprise of the town merchants
in instituting bargain day seems to
have been rewarded sufficiently to
have met their expectations. A con-
sentative estimate places the number
of out of town visitors at approx
mately 1900. Those of the number
who took advantage of the offer of a
free dinner numbered so and this
number would probably have been
larger if some had not been under the
delusion that they must purchase goods
dinner ticket.
1t is believed that the visitors felt
that the entertainment provided was
as good as promised and the bargains
as good as advertised. A large room
in the Kimball block was provided for
all who wished a place to rest and
ladies were in attendance ready to
care for children left in their charge.
"a EO -
enjoyed and it was intended that
everyone should be given an opportun-
lty to ride. The band concerts added
a great deal to the pleasure of the
guests and much favorable comment
was expressed in regard to the music.
The stores were in holiday trim
and the attractiveness of the decora-
lions was supplemented by the at
Effectiveness of the bargains offered
inside. Some of the merchants served
free punch to all the thirsty. During
the two days and evenings of bargain
days the combined sale of seats at the
Lyric and of Idle Hour theatres
amounted to 1000. Taken all in all the
merchants and business men feel we'll
satisfied with the success of the under
taking,
An incident of merchants day is
the fact that Mrs. Joseph Deferry and
her son seven years of age, of Potter
vile, walked to Hardwick and back
home both days, making in all about
twenty miles walk.
1t is also stated that free horse
feeds were given to all on that day
and many other things to make the
day pleasant one were done. Hard
wick merchants did an immense
amount of advertising in various way
to get the people and there is no doub
about the lasting benefits of thu
scheme. The Monitor heartily ION ON
mends the scheme and --nooests tina
the merchants OF this place get t.
