ing the day, and last night some
fears were expressed that Bill had
been eloped with by someone who
wanted him for souvenir, instead Of
letting Bill travel around as much as
possible.
People Started In Early.
The crowds started early yesterday
morning. The weather was practical
ly ideal. and the good roads induced
large number of out of town shop
pers to come here in their machines.
Early in the morning machines were
lined along Main street, and people
were nocking into the stores even by
ten o'clock. Some Of the stores had
such tremendous rushes that it was
necessary to close the doors temper
arily and admit the people in detach-
ments.

ness was rushing last spring, over
300 purchases had been recorded be-
fore eleven o'clock, when last spring
che total record of purchases for the
entire day was only 400. This proper
ton of increase prevailed In practical

stated last night.
Many From Out Of Town.
The gratifying feature of the whole
affair was that big majority Of
shoppers were from out Of tI& city.
The trains into Keokuk brought big
crowds, and many came by auto. The
interurban cars across the river were
packed to the platforms and an over.

The merchants this time offered
even greater bargains than they did
last spring. Dollar Day Is an adver-

and the merchants are hoping that
shopping in Keokuk is going to be-
come habit with the people in the
surrounding towns.
Chairman Lowitz OF the Dollar Day
committee. said last night that he
felt that the day was an even greater
success than the first Dollar Day, and
that the response to the bargain call
was gratifying, because 1t showed
that the people realized last spring
and will realize this time that they
are getting the entire worth of their
money. The merchants, he said,
were gratified at the amount of out
of town trade. ID @s u

Keokuk Retailers League
Bargain Day Proved More
Attractive Than One
Last Spring.
CROWDS START IN EARLY
Gratifying Feature is Out Of
Town Trade Mr.. Bill Dol
lar Started in Early
and Kept Busy.

Dollar Day, under the auspices Of
the Keokuk Retailers league, proved
even more Of a success yesterday
than did the first one held last May.
Those who doubted the ability OF the
merchants to draw big crowd here
few days ahead of the big circus at
traction, had their misgivings shat
tered when they saw the first crowds
early yesterday morning. For Dollar
Day shopping in Keokuk began early
and continued late.
Superlative degree adjectives must
be used to. describe the feelings of the
Keokuk merchants over the success
Of their second Dollar Day. That
they gave good bargains last spring
was attested to by the fact that the
return engagement Of Dollar Day
brought crowd which was twice or
three times as large as that Of last
spring. Dollar Day is now assured. It
can be given three or four times a
year. and will draw immense crowds
IL the merchants will continue their
policy Of throwing their goods on the
counters at the prices at which goods
were sold yesterday.

Advertiser. Got Business.

One very noticeable feature Of the
Dollar Day enterprise yesterday was
the fact that it was the merchant who
advertised in the daily newspapers
who did the business. The merchant
who took space in the papers. found
that his store was the popular one.
Those who depended on window dis
plays and the fact that 1t was Dollar
Day failed to show anywhere near the
patronage that the progressive mer
chant who realized the value OF adj
vertising did.
Ask any. Of the merchants and they
will tell you that there was practical
~ no blind shopping" yesterday.
People came into the store and asked
to purchase certain articles which
we saw advertised in the papers,"
There was practically no looking
around. The shoppers had 1t firmly
impressed in their minds that certain
stores were offering certain big bar
gains for a dollar and they came to
these stores and asked for these bar
gains. Every merchant said that this
