"a Saturday Pay Day Crowd" G. I.
Brown veteran traffic policeman.
called the Dollar Day throng which in
vaded Topeka this morning before the

this way all day, it will be the equal,
if not the beater, of all the sales day

Brown ought to know crowds. they are
his dish.
The outstanding feature of today's
Dollar Day crowd, in addition to the
size of it, was the early hour in which
it commenced to buy. Trains arriving
in Topeka this morning from the trade
territory of Topeka, brought hundreds
of customers who waited outside until
the stores opened.

believes, with the ajority of the mer-
chants, that today is going to break
Dollar Day records in Topeka.
E. C. Williams, manager of Crosby

about the Dollar Day last year, which
was the biggest ever staged in Topeka.
Williams believes that the sale today
will outrank that of May II. 1920.

the fee was made $50 Mayor Cor
