INN
Dollar Day may not bring in
quite so much money but it does
shake up the trade and the public.
It increases the number of trans
actions, gets people into the store
and not nearly all our wants or
needs can be satisfied for a dollar.
1t shows the public what the store
keeper has in stock and 1t also
gives the clerks and owners a new
idea what the public will buy and
puts them on their mettle to have
a stock which will appeal to the
buying public. Many of the large
cities have these Dollar Sales, and
smaller cities like our Vermont
cities have them. Bradford is
natural trading center and 1T has
been suggested by one of our store
keepers that Dollar Day would be
a good thing to try out here. we
are rather of the same opinion. 1t
makes dollar go a little further
for the purchaser but it also helps
the store, man to distribute his
goods, advertise his stock and him
self as up-to-date and willing to
share on the profits even of a le-
Ultimate business margin.
Of course, we can all see some
faults in our Vermont roads, but
Just the same we enjoy hearing
that H. A. Mixer, official represen-
tative of the Automobile Blue
Book Pub. Co. says that =" Yer
mont is building the best gravel
roads today of any State, and the
best roads in the country today are
gravel roads," We cannot find any
fault with Mr.. Mixers late quail
fication of the quoted statement,
that gravel roads have to be kept
up and must be oiled. He does
not believe in heavy oils like tarvia
but a thin oil, spread on soon after
the road is built. Those of us,
who have driven much in New
England this summer, know that a
large part of the surface of the
road has been transferred to the
meadows in a cloud of dust.
Gravel roads held down by a thin
oil or solvay are excellent.
Here is a girl down in Memphis,
Tenn, who died by her own hand,
at seventeen, not because she was
a bad girl but because gossip said
she was wild. 1t ought to make
one stop and think before giving
tongue to that juicy morsel, had
on hearsay; or venturing that ex-
pressive shrug of the shoulder when
a girls name is mentioned. Not
many girls who are unjustly talked
about by their elders commit sui
eide, but it is a cruel, underhanded
sport-this hunting down and STAY
ing character. Better let guilty
one or two escape than wound so
many who are innocent.
Things are surely adjusting them
selves with the Eastman kodak
Co. reducing wages the beginning
of this month and the General
Electric announcing cut in wages.
There surely has been a cut in
prices and the next cut has to be
wages before we can begin to see
the daylight of normal times.
The only trouble with the COM
ing conference will be to find a
patient for the clinic. They will
all be willing to reduce the blood
pressure of the military fever of
the other nations, but only the
other fellow will be considered an
apt subject.
James B. Estee and Thomas H
Cave, Jr., would be glad to sue.
