At meeting of a small number
ct the merchants Of the city, Fred
McCarger, secretary of the Mer-
chants Association Of Montevideo.
gave a splendid outline of the work
which the association has donelfor
that city. The meeting was in
formal. and he'd in the Plymouth
Clothing company store.
After hearing him speak and
some discussion, those present de-
cided that it would te very good
plan to have a celebration on the
day that the paving was to be open
ed to the public, together with q
Sales Day. combining these two day
into one large affair. The plans
and details are being worked out
this week by the businessmen Of the
Booster Association.
I'VE had much smaller gather
ing at our first meeting, said Mr..
McCarger, but we stuck to it and
now we have large membership
and have accomplished one thing
which has made US famous through
out the U. S. That is our sales
day, and we have letters from all
over the country wanting to know
how we make such a success Of it,
am sure that with the spirit that
lyou have shown and with the start
that you have here tonight, there
is no reason in the world why you
business men should not put across
a good successful sales day
Montevideo now has a sales day
every month, the Merchants AS
sociation having charge of it. The
association has been organized for
four years, and has been growing
bigger and better every year.
Milbank businessmen plan to put
forth every effort to make this one
| Of the biggest, if not the biz gest
days the city has ever had. Enter
tainment in the way Of street sports
will be provided with suitable
prizes for the winners. Foot races
obstacle races, tug-o-war and all
the sports which were featu red at
the old time picnics will be IN the
bill, and every one will have an op-
portu1ity to enter. During the
afternoon bargain hunters Wi. tave
their great opportu nifty. Ev-ry
merchant will have It Of

In the evening. a pavement dance
will be given. with the city band
furnishing the music and plenty of
room to dance. The concrete will
be treated so that it will not be
very rough. There will be no
charge. anyone can dance whenever
and as long as he likes For those
that do not enjoy this past-time an
outdoor movie will be provid ed
which will be free,
The celebration will be carried
out entirely with al idea Of COM
munity day. to give the people,
who do not. do their trading here
now an opportunity to become ac-
cuainted with the merchants and
the city. to create an interest in
Milhank which will lead tie to
want to come again. It will be in
the nature of a county fair. a earn
ival, Fourth Of July celebration
and bargain day all rolled iLto one
and given over to the people who
come here.
While the exact date when the
paving will be completed cannot be
set. it will probably be along the
first or middle part Of June. The
actual work Of pouring the concrete
will not take over two weeks of
steady work, but the weather con-
ditions and the date Of starting
will determine the date Of compile
tion.
