COMMUNITY SALE PLAN
Experiment Being Tried by Merchants
In North Adams.

An interesting experiment is being
conducted by the North Adams mer-
chants All the retailers Of the city
have been gotten together by the
chamber OF commerce and will put on
community sale, each man having
promised TO do his share to bring back
the price TO more nearly normal
level. The procedure in former years
Of most merchants has been for each
man to try TO hold his sale at a diff
ferent time frcm his competitor.
Conditions are so extraordinary at
this time that North Adams mer-
chants feel that extraordinary meth
DDS should be used to meet those con
ditons II the general public can be
persuaded that retail values have
really reached their low level they
will start buying which will have a
tendency to make demand for manu-
factared goods and therefore place
business back on a normal basis.
