Merchants Enthusiastic
The Retail Merchants association
took ND the matter of uniform fall
and spring opening weeks some
months ago and Secretary w. A.
Clarke, Jr, was instructed to "feel
out" the sentiment Of the merchants
on the subject. The plan was met
with universal approval and the
dates suggested by the association
were also acceptable to the great ma
jority. Thereupon the association APP
pointed a committee to promote the
idea and see to 1t that each mer chant
lives up to his promise to aid ir max

committee is headed by one OF Rich

"The Confession" Is the play from
