MERCHANTS PLEASED
WITH BARGAIN DAY
Inquiry Among Dealers Finds
Them Satisfied With
Wednesday Sales

Inquiry made among local retail
finds them eminently pleas
ed and satisfied with the business
done by them on Wednesday. which
was Bargain Day. The concensus Of
opinion, according to Mr.. s. NJ. Wool
son, is that, while, perhaps, the vol
ume was not as great as some other
Bargain Days, 1t was nevertheless,
wholly pleasing and satisfactory view
ed in the light OF present day condi-
tions.
Compared with last Saturday the
business of Wednesday went far be-
yond. 1t is the opinion of many local
retailers that Saturday was one of the
poorest IL not the poorest, business
days, Mt. Vernon ever has experience
ed. The volume of business done
Wednesday serves TO confirm the re-
tailers in their good opinion of the
value of these sales days.
The retailers already are working
on their plans for the next Bargain
day in September promising to pre-
sent then some exceedingly attractive
bargains to the buying public.
They also are getting set for the
next Dollar day sale that comes in
October. The uniform success which
retailers attribute to these special
sales days, as we'll as the favor with
which they are regarded on the part
of the buying public would seem now
definitely to have permanently estab-
lished them as a permanent feature
in the business life of Mt. Vernon.

The House committee on reform In
the civil service yesterday reported out
three bills amending the civil service

One of these is the Lehlbach bill for
correcting the situation principally in
the Post Office Department, where
employees were retired without an

retirement and lacked only a short time
of being entitled to annuity.
Another bill takes care of the situa-

master General or other government
officials refuse such certificates when
employees desire to take advantage OF
that provision in the law which al
