Four Big “Dollar
Were Decided
Success
The fear “Dollar Day*” staged
by Asheboro merchants Thursday,
Friday, Saturday and Monday were
a decided success. Saturday, of
course, was the lug day. Many of
the merchants taking port in this
big trade event stated that Satur
day was the best day they had had
in many months. Good j business
was not confined to any one,kind of
store. Dry goods, novelty, grocery
and drug stoves, together with all
business houses that put on special
offerings, shared in , the big busi
iness of the four ".“Dollar Days.”
Business came through the mails
as well as* from shoppers who came
to Asheboro in person;, Both mer
chants and shoppers seem to have,
been well 'pleased* with the “D6llar
Day” event; ’ Both profited by the
big trading days. The merchants
were ableta sell a lot of seasonable
merchandise, while their customers
were able to save many dollars by
taking' advantage of the low prices
offered, *i J
