Extensive Plans For
Dollar Days
?
History in the merchandising
world will be made in Williamston
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
September 19, 20 and 21st?when lo
cal merchants offer the greatest ar
ray of Dollar Days bargains ever
heard of in eastern North Carolina.
Tens of hundreds of specials will
be placed at the disposal of thrifty
shoppers during the three days.
Sponsored by the Williamston
Chamber of Commerce, the special
trade days are certain to attract
throngs from miles away, for never
before have such great bargains been
offered on such an extensive scale.
Practically all Williamston mer
chants are cooperating in the spec
ial trade festival for the last three
day of this week, and a really worth
while opportunity is being offered
the thrifty buyer to purchase stan
dard and reliable brands of goods
at marked savings.
Instead of offering prizes and
many other inducements to attract
the shoppers for this event, the par
ticipating merchants concluded that
the offering of merchandise bar
gains would have more appeal. These
merchants are really going to put
on sale many items that were priced
up to $2.00 for the price of $1.00.
Many other items priced in the high
er brackets will be given substantial
reductions as a tie-in with the Dol
lar Days sale.
Although the merchants feel that
they have purchased a sufficient
amount of the special items which
they will put on the dollar bargain
counter, it is impossible to anticipate
the demand, so the suggestion is now
made to the wise shoppers of this
area to get an early shopping start
on opening day.
In all towns and cities a Dollar
Days sale is supposed to stand out
as the moat outstanding trade event
which the merchants sponsor, hence
every effort will be made at this
time to carry out the Dollar Days
sale in Williamston in a way that
