The Board of Trade Dollar Day in
Perth Amboy Will be held Friday,
April II. The day will be given over
to shopping carnival. during which
a dollar will go farther than ever be-
fore. AS an investment in good viii,
the merchants of Perth Amboy will
offer staples and standard goods. as
well as remnants at unusual prices
for the accommodation of buyers.
Not everything offered will be
priced at an even dollar, because
many merchants do not deal in arti-
cles of such small value. For in
stance, a dollar bill of furniture,
though 1t were SO in value, would be
of little use, but a discount of doll
lar on each SIS or $40 of value
would be worth while. Shoppers will
be greatly interested in a dollar dis
count on SO or SIS hat or a So dis
count on a SIS or 500 suit. Dollar
Day will offer many such bargain dis
counts.
The range of offerings will cover
practically everything usable for the
person or the home, for father, moth
er, son, daughter and baby, for the
kitchen, parlor and bedroom. for
utility or adornment for business or
pleasure. 1t is an exchange of the
merchants wares below par, for YOUR
dollars at par; 1t makes your dollar
go farther; 1t increases purchasing
power. A thrifty merchant is al
ways ready to attract new customers
by bargain. 1t Is a good ADVERTISE
ment.
The Board of Trade Dollar Day is
