HICKORY, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1912 - Democrat and Press Consolidated 1905 SOWS THE THE TO Dt FAIL TRADIWG Get First Choice Of All the Lat est Styles at Special Bargain Prices. GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CUSTOMER As Result of Co-Operative Plan Be ing Worked Out on a Large Scale by Hickory Mer chants. Sometimes real opportunity comes the way of the ultimate consumer and one of these times for the people of this section will be during the -week of August 10th to August 17th when the merchants of Hickory will offer special bargains in every line of merchandise. By the plan as formerly an nounced in The Democrat nearly every merchant of importance in the city is offering some special inducements in the way of goods and prices to the buying public. It has, of course, created more or less competition among the merchants, but this is all the better for those who have to buy, as it will mean genuine bargains in every line of merchandise. Prices in many instances are much lower than have ever been made anywhere on standard brands, staple and seasonable goods. Besides the special bargains to be offered by the merchants, railroad fares will be refunded to all out-of-town customers during this big Co-operative Sale. Un der the plan, shoppers may dis tribute their patronage among as many stores as they may desire and then coming to the Demo crat office, will be presented with the cash total of their fare from their home to Hickory and re turn. The only condition to receiving the return of the rail road fare is that the aggregate purchases reach a certain small total which will, of course, vary for the various number of miles traveled. The big sale is an innovation for the city and county and is being promoted and arranged by The Democrat in order to adyer tise Hickory as the best trading point in this section of the State.
