DOLLAR DAY WEATHER..
Fair and Warmer Saturday.

| With fair, warm weather predicted
for tomorrow, Keokuk's semi-annual
dollar day will be a success. The
weather was the only uncertain fea-
! ture about the big event, and now
that the question is settled. there is
no further doub. as to the ultimate
| success.
Chairman Miller of the committee
in charge of Dollar day, has been
assured by the keokuk merchants
that they are all ready for the open.
ing sales tomorrow. and that they
will have bargains on their coun-
tiers such as have never before been
offered. Considering the high costs,
and the uncertainties of the market,
this is going to be real bargain
day, this sale of the Keokuk mer
chants tomorrow.
The shopper is going to find every
thing he or she desires, from paper
of pins up to house furnishings, and
everything is going at bargain.
The Dollar day sale held last fall
was record breaker. The one
which will be held tomorrow prom
Uses to put this in the shade, in the
way of values and bargains.
Period sales will be conducted
again this time, the plan Tor LnlS
being left to the individual merchant
to work out as he sees best. 1t will
mean continuous offering Of bar
gains, and the late buyer will have
the same chance as the early one.
Shoppers from out Of the city who
are coming in by train will find bar
gains to their liking, and those who
live here or people who drive in
from nearabouts will be pleased with
the offerings, the committee believes.
Keokuk stores are going to offer
such attractive bargains that you
can't afford to miss any of these, is
the slogan for tomorrow's big dollar
sale. Dollars are going to make a
noise like they are made Of rubber,
and they're going to stretch over a
big list of bargains.
