Merchants Pledge Custom.

gain Day of Year-Expect
Out-of Town Shoppers

Thirty of Alexandria's progressive
merchants are preparing to show the
citizenry of Alexandra that their
hearts are in the right place and in
proof are offering previously un-
heard of bargains to the shoppers who
will visit their stores on the first
quarterly Dollar Day of 1922 which
falls on tomorrow.
The merchants declare that they
intend to cooDerate with the buying
public in the fullest sense of the word
and in attestation of that declaration
will give bargains, and more than
bargains; selling in many instances
even lower than the cost price of the
goods.
A glance at the advertising sections
of today's issue will cause all to stop
and contemplate the low prices of
many of the necessities of life. You
will then clearly see the truth Of the
merchants words when he says that
he is trying to give his fellow citizen
Just a little more than his moneys

Dollar Day. for a number of years
but, it is said this will mean more
than any other ever held in this city.
1t is the day in which the merchants
hearts grow big and they take the h
sumers' view point and try to do 'un-
to him that which he wishes done
unto himself-that is. give to the pur-
chaser more than his money really
buys Of course merchant cannot
be expected to do this charitable act
more than four times in any one year.
bnt when he does it is duty Of each
one, to the merchants and to himself
to see that the job is we'll done.
The Weather man promises fine
day and the 18th is pay day, they
say that times are hard and that
every cent counts and the merchants
are coming across handsomely. All
these conditions working together and
in harmony makes the prediction that
this Dollar Day will be the best Dol
lar Day ever held in the city seem
already to have come true.
