FRIDAY and Saturday bargain DAYS
should rebound to the benefit of the
buying public as we'll as the merchant
as it will help both. The Age Herald's
move was an ideal one. These DAYS
should continue to benefit the public
and the merchant, especially where
prospective patrons of an establishment
j who call are able to find what they
saw advertised. Business with us has
been much better than we expected.
Ascannot say just what effect our bar

than our store Friday was filled with
people, some of whom were possibly at
Ntraeted to it because of the wide pub-
Helty we have given to our sale in con-

business. Speaking as a merchant I
approve of bargain days on Fridays
and Saturdays.
