The stage is again all set for Dollar
Day. The bargain day of all the bar
gain days of the year is at hand. For
weeks housewives have been postpon-
ing their purchases in order to take
advantage Of the reductions in price
which their experience of last year
taught them they would find tomorrow,
when Dollar Day prices will rule.
In the rural districts shoppers will
come to Kenosha by the score to visit
the stores and lay in supplies Of wearing
apparel, household furnishings and
groceries and meats.
Groceries and meats will be so re-
duced in price that there will be pala-
table meals served tomorrow night af-
ter the days shopping is over at a
cost that will make the housewives
think the good old days of few years
ago are back again, when one could
buy dinner for a family Of five or
six and not have to invest the last
penny in their pocketbooks to make it
possible for all to get enough to eat.
Already the shop windows are dec
orated with sample bargains which,
GIVE jtst hint Of the delectabllities
which the shopper will find within.
Hosiery that ordinarily cost twice as
much viii be for sale at way down
prices. The woman who has postponed
the purchase of her winter hat will find
that for dollar she can find desirable
headgear, and her husband, too, should
not miss a visit to his pet furnishing
store for there he will find bargains
that will fill his soul with joy. Kitchen
utensils, always fascinating to the
housewife, are shown in some of the
windows in alluringly attractive form
at prices that can never hope to be
equalled on ordinary days
Most of the merchants in town have
gone into the attempt to make this
Dollar Day day that will be remem-
bered by the buyers of the county
as long as they remember there is
store, at all.
The shopkeepers have combed their
stocks with the idea of cutting every
article to the lowest point where they
can sell without mourning too great a
loss, although in many instances they
do sell at a slight loss over their
wholesale prices. They are making the
sacifce this one day of the year to
show their good will to their patrons.
The purchasing power of dollar
will be so increased tomorrow that in
however much respect the silver disc
is held today, tomorrow it will mean
many times more and the man with a
few dollars ready to invest will have
the chance of the year to make
elacticity the dollars most not
abe characteristic.
And even though one is unfortunate
enough not to be able to buy much, he
should at least entertain himself with
a stroll about the town examining the
store windows for it is matter of
curiosity as to how the merchants ever
can do what they are to do tomorrow
in the matter of price reductions. The
showings in the windows are partic-
ularly attractive from an artistic point
of view as they have been prettily ar
ranged. But it is the financial end of
it that will make the showing partic-
ularly interesting to the man and
woman who is trying to stretch his
dollar to its farthest limit in these
days of excessive prices.
While it is an impossibiIity to go in
to the separate bargains or to give the
notice that many windows individually
deserve, it must suffice to say that no
one should miss visit to the stores
tomorrow if he either is looking for
bargains or if he is interested in what
the merchants of the town are willing
to do to help their patrons over a sea-
son of high living cost.
