Phone 10 r ' 1 _ ' ASHEVILLE BARGAN CARNIVAL TO BE HELD SEPT. 22. 23, AND 24 Plans are now being rounded into snape lor Asheville's fifth semi-annual .bargain Carnival, which Is to take place September 22. 23, and 24. With the approach of this event, a rapidly changing attitude is evident on the part of the merchants and general public of the surrounding towns. When the Bargain Carnival was first instituted, people in the surounding towns felt that it would hurt their business. On the contrary, however merchants have found that this event has encouraged buying in general, and that when people learn how easy it is'to buy the less commonly used articles in Asheville, it enables the local merchants to confjne their stocks to items they can sell quickly, thus increasing their profits The rapidly growing highway system has been a * """friimtincr . factor in wiiuiwv?o tiiis connection. The Bargain Carnival is confined entirely to members of the Asheville Merchants' Association, and is conducted under certain rules which . assure [iruly "unusual values for those I wiio take advantagte of it. While no definite reduction is specified, the rules demand a bonafide, substantial reduction. Ail past Bargain Carnivals have attracted rearmkable interest, and as the Fall Carnival is generally the greater event iof the year, a record-breaking crowd is expected in the city for these three days. This is particularly true because people are in tne mood now for shopping for their winter needs. All Asheville theaters have booked special attractions which will add greatly to the interest of the Carnival Days. At the Auditorium Field's Minstrels will play the 24xh and [25th. At the Princess.
