Merchants Discuss Trade
Campaign; Christmas Lights
Put Pressure
On For Trade
Days To Come
The Merchants Association met
this afternoon in regular monthly
session to discuss the Trade Cam
paign now on with $600 in cash
prizes to be given away here after
Christmas to shoppers from in
town and out of town, and to make
plans for the Christmas lighting
and decorations which will be put
up about the first of December.
All merchants participating in
the trade campaign were urged to
go back to their stores and talk to
their clerks about keeping the
campaign in mind on all sales so
as to get their customers interest
ed in the free prizes. A banner
advertising the Trade Days will be
hung across the Avenue In each
end of town next week and 10,000
more circulars will be distributed
the last of this month.
The Association voted to have
more Christmas lights this year
than ever before. Members will be
assessed and non-members will be
seen for contributions in order that
all may have a part in the lights.
New bulbs must be purchased and
the expenses of lighting and dec
orating the two business sections
will be about $300 this year. De
tails were left to the board of di
rectors.
A suggestion that all stores close
next Friday for the football game
was not accepted. Merchants said
they doubted if a majority of bus
iness houses would agree to this,
but said they would back such a
move if the game were played on
Thursday.
