The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-20

Al one of the committee mem- bers put it, "The people of Water bury will have come to a newer appreciation of the value of the dollar bill after the big event on Thursday" The purpose of the event Is to acquaint the buying public of the city with the fact that so long as tke dollar remains out of circulation, so long will the chances of better times remain un- determined. The Chamber of Com merce, merchants, industrial lead CTS, banks, public utilities. news papers and in fact. every type and form of business in the city have put shoulder to shoulder in a big push toward making "Waterbury Day" a sensation.
 Advertising the project not only in Waterbury. but in surrounding communities, Is one way that the committee has attempted to do its part. "Waterbury Day" will be heralded from as far north as Nor folk and south through the entire Naugatuck valley. Bargains, bar gains, bargains will be the cry of the business men of the city on that memorable day to come. the same cry will be taken up by the shoppers as they visit store after store and realize that this project that has been in the making for many weeks, is no mere gesture on the part of those who have the goods to sell.
 The only thing that will be lack ing in making Thursday, "The Big Bargain Day of the Big Bargain Year." similar to an Armistice Day celebration will be the numerous bands. There will be parades from all directions just as there were on Armistice Day in IS. The parades and marches will be the shoppers armed with large shopping bags 70 take to their respective homes the amazing buys to be found in the local business institutions.
 An armistice will be declared on that day. It will be in the form of a halt on the part of the mer- chants and business men from ord!- nary daily business methods while the shopper calls a sto., to his daily putting off of purchasing his neces- sities. The business man and mer- chant meet the shopper on a com mon scale that day. The former opens his store with the marvellous bargains and the shopper resumes his buying in a real old fashioned d way.
