1T is the best and, I think, the

good-natured crowd of bargain hunt

buyers from every point of the city
and nearby points. and at 8 o clock
when the sales began the stores were

At II o'clock a look up the street
showed no let-up in the arrival of buy
ers and the mid summer event of the
local business world was justifying its
claim that the city couldn't get along
without Dollar day.
The values to be had are genuinely
bargain does not tell it right From
conversation with buyers and being
about through the day with the crowds
it was clear that people were getting
big moneys worth and that there is an
abundance of the good values to meet
the demands.
A lot could be written of the Incl
dents Of the day, but there was a
tenseness of purpose with the average
buyer which spoke volumes of the de-
sire to make the old dollar stretch the
limit this year.
II was wideawake, hustling crowd
