DOLLAR DAY AT CLOVER.

Dollar Day observed at Clover last
Saturday by seventeen Of the leading
business firms, was characterized to-
day by those taking part as a decided
success. There was a tremendous
crowd Of people in town on account of
Dollar Day" and they bought hun
dreds of dollars worth of merchandise
and other articles While some Of the
merchants did considerably more busi-
ness than others, practically every mer-
chant did as much as he expected to do
and in some instances more. Dollar
Day last Saturday was the second Dol
lar Day that Glover merchants have
held, the first having occurred last
May. 1t is very doubtful, however, If
the volume of business done the Sec
opd Dollar Day was as large as that of
last May. However, it is the opinion
of business people interviewed by the
reporter of The Yorkyille Enquirer to-
day that there were as many people
here for the second as there were for
the first. Money appeared to be pretty
tight" Saturday and although most at
tractive bargains were offered, people
were inclined to buy only that which
they were almost compelled by neces-
sity to buy.
Dollar Day Committee.
AS a whole the merchants were well
pleased and they consider that the en-
terprise> put forth was well worth
while. The committee responsible fol-
the advertising of Dollar Day consisted
Of Messrs. S. A. Sifford, ]. c. Ford and
]. E. Brison. The advertising columns
of The Yorkville Enquirer were extern
sively used and the country around was
deluged with circulars advertising Dol
lar Day. The advertising brought the
crowd.
II am very we'll pleased with results
obtained Dollar Day." said w. H. Sher-
er, we'll known grocer, when asked
about Dollar Day business. There
was a big crowd in town and we we're
kept busy"
I'VE are highly pleased with the re
suits obtained" said Sam ]. Matthews
OF the Campbell Quinn company, when
asked about Dollar Day.
1--WE offered about 600 pieces oi
aluminium ware as a Dollar Day spe-
cial." said ]. Clyde Ford of M. l.. Ford
e. Sons. II think we had possibly 4C
pieces left Saturday night We did all
right"
"Yes, there was big crowd in town,
but they were not buying hardware,
said Mr.. j. p. Sifford of the Glover
Hardware company, when asked about
Dollar Day. 1.-The crowd came early
and stayed all day and most OF the
merchants werc pretty busy
Large AS Last May.
'In my opinion the Dollar Day crowd
Saturday was as large as that here last
May" said M. M. Stroup of the First
National bank. "The business people,
think, did about as much as they ex-
pected to do and in some instances
more. We had the crowd all right
1T was a magnificent crowd" said
Mr.. JAS A. Page, cashier of the Bank
of Glover, in discussing Dollar Day;
but | don't think the volume OF busi-
ness was equal to last May when Clo-
YER had her first Dollar Day. There
were lots of lockers as well as buyers;
possibly more" ;,
"I think people were fairly well
pleased with Dollar Day business said
DR.. r. l.. Wylie of the Glover Drug
Store. I'VE didn't have such big day
ourselves because the crowd was not
buying the kind of articles we offered.
Still we have no kick to make"
Lots of people in town and lots OF
goods were sold," commented Gray Nc
Elwee Of the City Pharmacy, in talklnS
about Dollar Day. We didn't have any
big rush, but we were kept fairly busy.
