Days featured by the Redwood Falls
Merchants Association was held We'd
nesday, June 9Th and was voted a sue
cess both by the merchants offering
the many snae bargains and by the
out-of-town visitors who purchased
them. The attendance was very good
in spite Of the fact that this is busy
time on the farms, and many cars
from a considerable distance were no.
ticed among the great number of
machines parked on the side streets.
Many comments of satisfaction were
heard from the visitors who were
agreed that the merchants were really
offering the genuine bargains claimed
for the day; and in many stores the
unadvertised bargains proved quite
as great attractions as the specials.
Merchants are already making up
their lists Of offerings for the second
Bargain Day, Wednesday, July 13,
many Of them stating that they will
"cut prices" even more than they did
for the first sales day.
Not so many people registered as
was hoped, the four hundred, fifty
names being only very small part of
the total attendance. Women seemed
especially reluctant to register,
Next Bargain Day all Redwood Falls
City residents will be asked to refrain
from registration and the visitors
asked to give their names in order
that the prizes that will be offered
may be awarded to the visitors. Be
low is the list of prize winners and the
prizes, which were donated by the
various business men of the city.

For the next Bargain Day Clerk Of
Court w. G. Weldon and Rev. Bur
dette L. Main are offering an opport-
unity to would be newly weds who
wish to reduce the H. c.. L. Mr.. Weld
on will furnish marriage license
free of charge to any couple which
will be publicly married and Mr..
Main will perform the ceremony and
keep his hand tight closed when the
fee is offered. The Gazette will fur
nish the wedding announcements and
there is no doubt that number of the
merchants will willingly contribute
various household necessities should
two young people wish to avail them
selves of the opportunity. 1t IS
hoped that the "crowd0 seeking these
gratuties will not be so large as to
be inconvenient.
Wa. Hauck, the secretary of the
Redwood Falls Merchants Associa-
tion will be glad of suggestions from
the outside visitors. The putting on
of these Bargain Days is an expert
ment and the Association admits it
has much to learn concerning how to
properly conduct them. While sur
prisingly few mistakes were made
last Wednesday considering that this
was the first venture Of the Associa-
ton, it is admitted that some mis-
takes were made and there will be a
great effort on the part of Mr.. Hauck
and the officers of the Association to
prevent these same mistakes in the
future. Therefore any suggestions,
or constructive criticism will be most
heartily welcomed by Mr.. Hauck.
