Harris Hardware Co.-Did good
business all day and we are glad to
meet cur friends. Want them to
come again next Golden Rule Sales
day-and they will find US at the
old stand
One noticeable thing about the
large crowd in town was many new
faces seen on our streets. Old mer
chants who know every person in our
county, say they saw people who were
strangers to them and they were
among the buyers in our stores.
And the best success of the dav
was the auction sale of farm stock
and produce. Cattle and pigs were
sold and they brought satisfactory
prices. In fact, the farmers who
brought stock to sell were so well
pleased with the returns that they
will all bring something else next
Golden Rule Sales day. This auction
department will become very popu-
lar and be generally patronized by
our Carroll county farmers.
From opening to close, the day
was success and every person, both
merchants and farmers, were more
than satisfied. All will anxiously
look forward to the first Monday in
November when the next Golden Rule
Sales day will be celebrated.
