History in the merchandising
world will be made in Williams ton
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday?
March 6. 7 and 8?when local mer
chants offer the greatest array of
dollar day bargains ever heard of in
eastern North Carolina. Tens of hun
dreds of specials will be placed at
the disposal of thrifty shoppers dur
ing the three days.
Sponsored by the Williamston
Chamber of Commerce, the special
trade days are certain to attract
throngs from miles away, for never
befoie have such great bargains been
offered on such an extensive scale .
Practically all Williamston mer
chants are cooperating in the special
trade festival for the last three days
of this week, and a really worth
while opportunity is being offend
the thrifty buyer to purchase stan
dard and reliable brands of goods
at market satings.
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 j
merchants are really going to put
[on sale many items that were pric
j ed up to $2.00 for the price of $1.00.
Many other items priced in the
higher brackets will be given sub- :
;stantial reductions as a tie-in with i
the Dollar Days sale
Although the merchants feel that i
they have purchased a sufficient I
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 early 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 most outstanding trade event j
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 the i
buying public will be pleased. If;
you are looking for bargains, it is ;
your chance to get them and the Wil- j
jiamston merchants will be glad to
welcome you to their store.
Darden's Store Is

has added special buys for the occa- |
sion, and is, along with other firms, !
offering a golden opportunity for
thrifty shoppers to fill their mer
chandise needs.
Head-the list of bargains appear
ing in the firm's advertisement to

present for the biggest shopping
festival in Williamston in many

Israel's Is Listing
Dollar Day Specials
Nat Israel, owner and operator c
Israel's, Main Street. Williamstoi
is extending a cordial invitation t
all thrifty buyers to take advantag
of the super dollar days bargains e^
penally planned for dollar days i
Williamston.
As a cooperator in the movemer
to acquaint more people with Wil
Hamston as a modern, reliable an
convenient shopping center, th
management in addition to dollai
days specials is offering reduce
prices on a store-wide scale.
If a person hangs pictures on the;
slant, he probably sees things big-'j
ger with one eye than with the oth
er. says the Better Vision Institute.
That yisual condition, known as an
iseikonia. makes a slanting line ap

Living Cost Rises
Considered Low
Though you may have spotted
price rises in some things, and got
the impression that living costs were
on a strong uptrend, fact is living
cost rises have been amazingly low in
comparison with v hat was feared
the war would bring, on the basis
of the 1914-18 experience. National
Industrial Conference Board's re
port on 1940 shows that the wage
earner paid only nine-tenths of one
per cent less than in 1937. The sur
vey covers food, clothing, housing,
sundries, light and fuel. The board
uses 1923 as the standard for living
costs. With that as "100", costs dur
ing 1940 for the fields surveyed ag
gregated 85 3. Which means that the
purchasing power of the '40 dollar
was 117.2 per cent of what it was in
'23 . vpu could buy as much with
a single round dollar in those essen
tials as you could have got for $1.17
in 1923
So maybe prices aren't going to
run away, after all?though we cer
tainly heard plenty of talk express
ing fear of just that when the de
fense drive was just starting May
he we should knock on wood. But
the experts sa^y this stability in cost
of living, thus far. in spite of num
erous "inflationary"' influences, has
been due mainly to three factors. (1)
Our abundance of foodstuffs and
raw ..materials; (2) mutual determin- i
ation .arising out of experience in
the other war. on the part of both
business and government to keep j
prices down; (3; comparatively small;
number of labor disturbances, to
date.
IT orkgioek Sum berg And
V'alueg Are Dourn In Stale
North Carolina farmers had 299,-1
000 mules on hand January 1 as com
pared with 305,000 for the same
date a year ago. Hie average value
per head was $150.00 as compared
with $17100 a year ago. and total
value of $47,387,000 or about 9 per
cent less than last year's value of
$52,287,000. The number of horses
was estimated at 72,000 or 1,000 more
than for the previous year. The av
erage value per head of $103.00 was
$8 less than last year, and the value
of all horses was down 6 per cent
from a year ago.
