LAKE CHARLES SEMI
ANNUAL DOLLAR DAY

The second big Trading Festival
known as Dollar Day, will be held in
Lake Charles. on Wednesday, April
10Th, and all indications point to the
conclusion that this event will be, il
possible an even greater success than
that of last October. When one
remembers the jam on Streets, res.
taurants, confectioneries, movies, etc.,
1t seems as though 1t would be hard to
excel IL, but this yesr the advertising
has been on larger scale and the fame
of the first festival has been so talked
about, that hundreds who might have
been skeptical about the first day, will
attend the second.
The merchants also. who were not of
course certain as to the success Of the
affair. have every confidence this year
and are making extra preparations to
make showing far In advance Of the
last.
The outside advertising staff report
to the Commercial Club, that the
greatest enthusiasm is being mani.
tested and from all over the country,
north, south, east and, west prepare.
tons are being made to attend Dollar
Day.
To enumerate the many special
bargains to be offered by the mer.
chants would take too much space, but
the public can rest assured that they
will be surprised at the offerings.
1t is to be remembered that these
Dollar Days, are not intended to be
occasions for proft.making by the
merchants, but are for the purpose of
getting outside residents of this section
TO become acquainted with the com.
plete stocks OF goods and prices here in
Lake Charles, with view of enlarging
the trade area of our local stores.

$4,000 from the concern, which leaves
a balance of S23,7OO yet due him. The
matter has been the subject of eXten-
sive litigation in the Chicago courts

whether he will be able 10 collect the
rest Of the money or not He has al
ready spent small fortune in fight
ing the case.

ter now" he said Tuesday Worth

gO's gay life was an open book after

They sure opened my eyes" he
