merchants make it bargain day. Tell
the farmers in every nook and corner

at the same time offer them bargains
in every line of merchandise. In this
way | believe we could draw an i'm

market day and bring a good days bus

IF the Chamber of Commerce or the

half way and we can make the day a
huge success. 1t is time to begin to
