MERCHANTS MAKE
BIG PREPARATIONS
For Observance of Spring Dress
Up Week Here from March
80 to ApriIf8.

Great preparations are being made
by the progressive merchants OF
Clarksburg for Spring Dress Up
which will be observed here from
March 80 to April s. Immense stocks
of the finest goods the markets af-
ford have been bought and are ar
riving by carloads every day. The
transfer companies and private trucks
are being kept busy getting this mer-
chandlse from the freight and express
offices to the various stores.
And the people residing in Clarks-
burg trade territory are not idle but
are taking invoices as It were and
making up their needs with the In
tention OF buying new wearing ap-
parel, new housefurnishlngs, new gar
den and farm utensils. etc., when
Spring Dress Up arrives. It Is pre-
dicted that the volume of buying in
Clarkshurg during Spring Dress Up
will equal and probably exceed that
of the holiday season. ''Prepared-
ness" Is the watchword now on the
part of both merchant and patron,
preparedness not for opposition but
for mutual cooperation which will
result in a larger volume of business
at reasonable profit for the merchant
and the best goods that money can
buy for the patron.
