ing country to visit this city during

The First Oress-upp Week.
The first Dress-Up campaign was
observed in October. 1915. and con-
sidering that the idea was strange
and untried, It was great success.
The first editorial and cartoon which
introduced the idea to the trades
appeared in the July %. 1915 issue
OF Womens Wear. Within few
days the other Fairchild publications

Mems Wear, the Chicago Apparel

also took up the idea and within
three months of the time that the
first suggestion was made, two thous-
and retail merchants had exploited
Dress-Up Week in their newspaper
advertising. The event in which the
Keokuk merchants will participate
will be the fourth national Dress-Up
Week.
More than twelve hundred newspa-
pers carried Dress-Up advertising
last spring and gave news and edi-
tortal space to the support Of the
idea. These newspapers, according
to the latest American Newspaper
Annual. have an aggregate circula-
ton Of more than twenty-one million
copies.
Dress-Up was observed as q city
wide fete in 264 cities. In each of
$40 other cities some Of the mer-
chants featured Dress Up last sprins
but did not work comparatively.
A touch Of official dignity was Civ
en- to the spring Dress Up campaign
by the proclamations Of two COVER
nors and forty-two mayors who ofd-
cially recognized the value of the
Dress UP campaign and urged their
people to take part In 1t.
Only one state in the union failed
to participate in the Dress Up cam
paign Of last psring. The single ex-
ception was the state of Nevada.
On the Eve Of Tremendous Campaign
And now merchants everywhere
are preparing for the fall Dress UP
to be observed throughout the coun-
try as q nationwide festival of
clothes. The Indications point un-
mistakably to q campaign which viii
be at least as much greater In influ-
ence and in results as the second
campaign was greater and more re-
sultful than the first.
The country at this time is exceed
ingly prosperous. The conditions
produced IN the United States, partly
as a result Of the war In Europe.
have made Americans 50 prosperous
that It seems more than doubtful II
anything which could happen on this
or the other side of the Atlantic
ocean, could hurt these prosperous
conditions, at least for some time to
come.
