County Snap Up Bar
gains Today
MEN, TOO, AMONG
THE EARLY SHOPPERS
To-day is Dollar Day.

Today is Dollar Day.
All the merchants in the city,
working in cooperation with the re-
tail advertisers committee of the mer-
camille section of the Chamber Of
Commerce. are extending to the Will
mington people any number Of bar
gains. which, judging from the crowds
that swarmed up and down Market
street and in and out Of the stores
all day will be snapped up in no
time
All day long the stores and streets
were packed In some incidences
whole families were seen shopping to-
gether. An exceptionally large num-
Der OF automobiles stood along the
curb and many motorists were seen
slowing away bundles OF all shapes
and sizes with the Smile that won't
come of" on their faces. A noticeable
feature Of the day was the air Of gem
eral satisfaction with all purchases
that prevailed.
Thanks to the splendid co-opera-
tion of THE EVENING JOURNAL,
whose stories and "ads" on the Dol
lar Day" were widely read there was
an unusually large number Of out of
town shoppers who came to the city
expressly to take advantage Of the
dollar Day" bargains They com
menced 70 come to the city as early
as 6 o'clock this morning. many ar
irving by boat some by train and
automobiles, while others came in
carriages.
It was a happy cheerful crowd that
thronged the streets and stores today.
Evidently not one person had a
Crouch how could they with so
many bargains right before them
Many OF the stores employed different
methods in the way OF conducting
the sales today In some stores a
fiat discount on all sales was allow
ed, while in others reductions on all
articles we're made. In every store
however the Dollar Day was OBJ
served in an entirely satisfactory
manner and many really wonderful
bargains were secured. All house
holders and others. including mere
men," many Of whom we're seen
sheepishly but triumphantly carrying
all sorts of bundles, we're apparently
entirely satised with the results
gained. and it was generally con-
ceded by not only the shoppers but
the merchants themselves that this
dollar Day" was one Of the mos
successful the city has ever had.
