A dollar bill will nave greater pur-
chasing power than at any time since
the first event of the kind last year.
Local merchants have combined to
make the day an unqualified success.
Their individual announcements will
be found in this issue of the State
Journal, and it will be worth while for
the prospective shoppers to give them
careful consideration.
Shoppers in other towns who at
tended the dollar day event last year
saved money and will be back again

funded according to the amount of
purchase. The local buyers may take
advantage of all the bargains; the
only difference will be that there will
be no railroad fare to be refuded.
