BARGAIN FESTIVAL
 THURSDAY, APRIL 20 NEW YORK STORES THANK OF FIRING TO THE WO-
 MANS CLUB.
Chance for the Public to Help Alon! Club Building At No Expense.

The next Teal big event of public interest in these parts will be a gener- al assembling of the friends of the Woman's Club of Phoenix who desire to donate to that institution the price of a brick, a shingle, a pound of nails or a sack of cement, and as much more as they please, to facilitate the early completion of their fine new club house now under constTuc- ton at the corner of First avenue and Bennett Lane. The assembling will be at the New York store which has consented to act as fiscal agent for one day, tomorrow, Thursday, April 20, the only day in which con tributions can be made in this way. And the manner of the contributing will be as follows:
 on Thursday, April 20, the New York store will give ten per cent of its cash sales to the building fund of the Woman's Club. That is es- timated to fully and perhaps more than cover the days profits on goods sold Proprietor Charles Korrick is more than glad to give the ladies the benefit of his profits for that day be- side putting the cost of a days eX- penses in the profit and loss column, for he believes that in the long run there is no loss In addition to that he will mark goods just a little closer on Thursday, than for any oth- CT day.
 As a cold -blooded business propo- sition that may look a little odd on the face of it, but it figures out nicely, in this way. MT. Korrick has been in business long time and has pros pored He holds the membership of the Woman's Club more or less re- sponsible for his prosperity. A good many of their dollars have passed over his counters. He expects by square dealing in the future to get a good many more of them because he hopes to try and deserve a goodly portion of their continued patronage. This is to be his way and his day for showing appreciation of past favors. IL is not a bait for future business for that matter will take care of itself The customer who drifts into the New York store on Thursday to take advantage of a special bargain, no matter how big it is, will be under no obligation by reason of that fact, to ever go there again.
 MT Korrick would like to see the cash sales on Thursday larger than the sales on any other day in the history of the store, because it won't cost him any more to do a big busi ness than little one and he is just as anxious for the club to get a nice percentage as are the members of it. IL is his thank offering, wherefore the price festival
 one thing that should be borne in mind is that patrons on that day should not ask to have anything charged, if they expect the club to re- Ceive the benefit of their buying. Even if one is credit customer he can afford to bring his pocketbook that day, for it will be to the ad- vantage of the club and not MT. Kor- rick, and he is perfectly agreeable | to the arrangement The club will want to know where it stands when night comes and MT Korrick of l course cannot sell the goods on credit | and at the same time pay the club | a ten per cent commission in advance, | nor can he open a set of books Tor | that special day. This will be a day | when the language of cash will be | more clear and emphatic than at any | other time, and at the same time will | be music to the ears of more people.
 Recognizing MT. Korrick's efforts | in their behalf the club has decided | that it would be a nice idea to have a committee of its members in the store on Thursday, both as a courtesy to MT Korrick and in a fitting way to recognize a proper appreciation of his customers on that day. For that purpose a committee of twelve ladies | was appointed at yesterdays meet ing. under the chairmanship of Mrs. J S Griffin. Half of them will be | in the store in the forenoon and half of them in the afternoon. They will not be clerks but will serve rather as a reception committee. Of course they | will have a general interest in what will be going on and if anybody stands around with a ten dollar bill in his hand that he can't get rid of they will try and help him attract the at tcntion of a clerk. The forenoon committee will be on duty from g o'clock to F o'clock and the after noon committee from 2 to o'clock. These are the busy shopping hours, usually. The members of the commit tee will not be ejected should they choose to come earlier or stay later but these are the hours during which they are supposed to be there. The forenoon committee will be com posed of Mrs. H. $. Bury, Mrs. $. Nicholson, Mrs. G. W. Vickers, Mrs. w. L. Pinney, Mrs. Otis F.. Young, and Mrs. Emory Kays. The after noon committee will be composed of Mrs F. NJ Tafel, Mrs. r.. F.. Kirk land. Mrs F. T. Ceilings, Mrs $. K. Levy, Mrs W. W. McNeff and Mrs. J. NJ SWetnam.
 Another view of the case is that Mir Korrick is making it possible for the friends of the club members to help them along a little by buying something they need and giving the club the profit They can help the club and not be out anything them selves.
