Kirsl Day Sale la Disappointing Hr M«sr Of Rain And Election. Prices Dp Sept. X. The first day of the NRA Jubilee Expansion event was disappointing to most of the merchants, but there was a pick-up today in trading and it is expected to reach a peak to morrow, (Thursday) the last. day. The city school tax election and the heavy downpour of rain on Tuesday afternoon interfered with the first day of the trade expansion but merchants are eapecting a rush on Thursday, the last day. All merchandise mBde of cotton j will advance on Friday, Sept. 1st, when the storekeepers having cot | ton fabrics on hand are required to take an inventory, pay the govern ment about four and a half cents per pound for all cotton materials on hand. This of course means that there will be a corresponding *n crease In prices of cotton and pact cotton materials. Food, clothing, furniture and hardware are rapidly advancing in price but the merchants are offer ing thetr present stocks at the re duced prices. Future shipments will be much higher because factory costs have soared and replacement of stock Is higher than merchants are offering their goods for at this time. Oen. Hugh Johnson has urged consumers to buy In August, not only for the saving they might make but to encourage the recovery move ment. Therefore, consumers who take advantage.of the offerings of merchants in this three day sale expansion event will advantage themselves and lend their aid to the ca use.
