The Hartford merchants are wise. The
Richmond merchants might take q
tip from them in regard to the Rich
mond show which will be held the
week of February 17th-2sth, the lat
ter day being Washlngtou's birthday.
The show is going to bring thou
sands of visitors to Richmond. II Is
going TO bring guests to the hotels and
purchases to the dry goods and de-
partment stores, not to mention the
smaller shops. Nobody will come to
Richmond without purchasing some
sort of souvenir, even If II Is only
a gift for the folks at home.
The merchants and the storekeep-
ers will do well to spread the news
I of the Richmond automobile show
afar.
