DOLLAR SUPREME
RULER TOMORROW
Merchants Will Demonstrate
Their Advancement by Of
fering Rare Bargains
STYLE SHOW OPENING
Stores Will Make Splendid
Demonstration of Modern
Merchandising

Not the least of the features which
the people of Harrisburg and visitors
from other parts of Pennsylvania will
be privileged to enjoy during the cele-
bration now in progress will be Dol
lar Day tomorrow.
The celebration would not be COM
plete without giving the public a spe-
fcial opportunity to have demonstrated
to them the great strides which Har-
risburg stores have made at the same
time the civic improvements were be-
ing taken care of. The development
of the city along these lines has not
been accomplished with a blare OF
trumpets and a sounding of hautboys
but is the gradual, almost impercep-
tible growth of public sentiment
merged into individual progressive
ness. The merchants of Harrisburg
are justly proud of their forward
movement and a celebration feature
of the nature of a Dollar Day is addi-
tional proof, if that were needed, OF
the active spirit which characterizes
movements of this sort in Harrisburg
Stores Are Cooperating
Dollar Day will hold sway in prac-
tically all the stores of the city to-mor-
row. The Chamber of Commerce is
responsible for the idea and inaugu-
rated the plan with the cooperation
of the merchants for the double pur.
pose of giving the public a chance to
investigate intelligently the mercantile
situation and enabling the merchants
to really show what has been accom-
plished in recent years.
The big day will start unofficially
with Merchants Night this evening
At 7.30 the Style Show will begin with
the simultaneous lifting of curtains in
all the show-windows, which have
been specially and tastefully decorated
for the occasion. During the after.
noon the windows were shaded, in the
majority of cases, and the surprise in
the way of artistic window trimming
saved for the evening illumination.
The display of the best which the
merchants have to offer will be a big
factor in making gay the appearance
of the city and when all the show win
dows are lighted up, the casual passer-
by, of which class there will be many
for the next three nights. will imagine
himself in fairyland. There Is a bic
surprise in store for those who visit
the business section of the city at z. 90
tonight.

Dollar Day has been tried success
fully in other towns and has always
met with popular approval 1t has
been found that the people are keenly
| interested in the offerings of the mer-
chants this occasion and the idea has
been popular wherever it has been at
tempted. The merchants have tried
to arrange their sales with the dollar
as basis. Goods will be marked down
and unusual opportunities will be
given to buyers tomorrow The adj
vertisements in the Telegraph this
evening offer special inducements that
ought to be of interest to the conserva-
tive purchaser as we'll as the bargain
seeker. There is no question but that
