Dollar Day
Georgetown is going to have a
dollar day. At least the movement
is under way and some time in the
next few weeks the final plans will
be completed. Dollar day marks a
new departure in the business life
of Georgetown. The success of
which has followed the institution
of the dollar day in other cities and
towns assures its success in
Georgetown, and why not.
Georgetown is the county seat of
Sussex County; almost everybody in
the county comes to Georgetown on
legal business sometime during the
year, and many from outside the
county. Concrete roads radiate in
every direction from Georgetown,
and il is the real hub of the county;
sixteen miles from Lewes on the
east; sixteen miles from Milford on
the north; fifteen miles from Laurel;
fourteen miles from Bridgeville on
the west; twenty miles from Selby-
Vile; sixteen miles from FTankfOFd
on the south. with Milton, Millsboro
and Glendale only eight miles away;
while DagsbOrO, Millville, Ocean
View, Lincoln. Greenwood, Roxana
and Harbeson, rapidly growing
towns, are within a few miles ride
OF Georgetown. Certainly so con-
located, Georgetown af-
fords an opportunity for quick dis
tributiOn and quick service over the
whole county. This is an asset OF
of which business calls
should be made to the advantage of
the business of the town, and of
the people of the county. The sue
ress of dollar day will prove it.
