ROUSSEAU, Mayor TOWN OF NORTH WILKESBORO North Wilkesboro, N. C. To the People of North WUkesboro and Neighbor Communities: Inasmuch as the merchants of North Wilkesboro have set aside Friday and Saturday, October 6th and 7th, as “Fall Dollar Days,” I consider the importance of this event of sufficient significance to give it the stamp of my official approval: BECAUSE— (1) We are admittedly in need of a loosening of the purse strings of community and nation; our President is calling for hoard ed dollars to leave their hiding place; unemployment would be in significant if everyone would buy their actual needs now, for every dollar we spend helps to put some deserving man to work. (2) We can get more for our money today than at any time within the memory of most of ns, and probably lower than we will ever be able to buy lagaw. I have every reason to believe that the North Wilkesboro merchants are offering real honest-to-goodness values for this special two-day event, and that the purchasing pow er of the dollar as exemplified in this opportunity to put it to the test, should be taken advantage' of in the program of thrift that we are all committed to at the present Ume. I, therefore, consider it a privilege to proclaim with North Wilkesboro merchants Friday and Saturday, October 6th and 7th, as “Fall Dollar Days.” J. A.

The messages of the merchants are being broadcasted today In The Journal-Patriot and they will be Intensely Interesting to the thousands of people who vis it North Wilkesboro stores regu larly to purchase needed merch andise. The stores are now displaying the placard, “North Wilkesboro a Co-operative Dollar Days, Friday and Saturday, October 6-7. This firm Is co-operating.” This card will be a guide to the customer* who come here to take advant age of the great values which are advertised. "Fall Dollar Days” are in line with General Johnson’s “bay now” movement which formSlly got under way Monday. Spending today Is Just as patriotic as was buying Liberty Bonds during, the war, President Roosevelt declar ed. several weeks ago. This “buy now” movement Is Intended to speed up production in the mills and factories ot the country and thus open the way for greater employment. In view of inflationary meas ures which aaem likely at thl® time. It is expected that prices on all merchandise will show a marked increase within the next few weeks. Those who come here to trade on “Fall Dollar Days” will not only be saving the amount which prices advance, but will also be buying season able merchandise at the low prices which have been reduced for this event. Friday and Saturday are op portunity days for the buying , public. The present low prices i will probably never come back and certainly there is every rea- > son to co-operate with the na- ! tional administration in Its pro gram for recovery. The Journal-Patriot invites readers of the paper to look over the messages of the merch ants which are carried in this issue and then make plans to visit North 'Wilkesboro either Friday or Saturday.
