2ND NORWICH DOLLAR DAY WEDNESDAY Need Supplied By ‘Norwich Mer- chants—¢ Shop Early” the Slogan. % The second Norwich Dollar Day, a day of unique valueZgiving, when ev- erything which men, women and child- ren need may be purchased at unus- ually attractive prices, is to be launch- ed on Wednesday, February 16. Nor- wich Doilar Day represents a move- ment in which seventy-five of our most prominent merchants are heart- ily co-operating and organization committee, Frank G. Aubrey, chair- man, have carried out their work with real enthusiasm for success. Primarily Dollar Day is being held for the purpose of demonstrating. to all that Norwich has no real com- petitor as a market place for all the territory which it seeks to serve. 'o evely resident of eastern Con- necticut Norwich merchants extend a most cordial invitation to come to The Rose of New England on Wednesday and take advantage of the unusual of- fers. You have only to ask and the FRANK G. AUBREY, Chairman Organization' Committee Norwich retail business houses will provide you with anything from a spool of thread to an automobile. If its on wheels they have it, from a toy fire engine to the latest motor car; if its any of ‘the thousands of products from North ang South America, Eu-, rope, Asia, Africa or any other part of the world they have it and will be more than pleased to show it. In all the stores in the city atten- tive pleasant mannered clerks will | be on hand to help the purchaser |3 make selections. 3 Norwich, unquestionably the me- tropolis of eastern Connecticut, of- fers unsurpassed facilities to the out | of town shopper. Located in _the! midst of a large number of hustling, | bustling manufacturing villages, it has grown to be a very attractive trade center. From the standpoint of the country dweller Norwich offers many trading advantages that many | other cities do not he means of reaching the heart of the city by steam or troliey are unequalled. ~ Gur two railroad stations, New. Haven and Central Vermont, are centrally locat- ed and cars from all ‘sections of the city pass right tically all the leading stores. Those who trade in small towns are|§* at a decided advantage. There. is not: competition enough to insure low 1rices. Not only are the goods chea er in Norwich than in the smaller cities and towns but the trading stamps which many of the merchants give with cash purchases are an added incefitive to come here and buy. ou can reach Norwich several ways—four by trolley lines, east or west, north or south and steam abdut the same way. Another factor which contributes largely to the trading advantages which any community can offer is its ascessibility to the great trading centers of the country. Here again is ere Norwich reaps the advantages of location. Boston is the Hub of New England and all the great manufact- uring concerns of that section, as well as many from other parts of the coun- try, use it as a distributing point for their products. New York is the me- the port through which, nearly all the imports of the country find an erry, and a market in which every domestic | sdanufacturer of any standing must show his ways. Norwich is situated about midway between these two great wholesale mackets. It is thereby enabled to keep in close touch with all the latest style tendencies, whether introduced from some foreign land or developed in our own country; and on account of the nearness of New York and Bos- ton the merchants of Norwich are able to make frequent visits to both cities in search of the newest and best merchandise in every line. Moreover, the freight on commodities, which is imized in this instance by the short haul and the splendid transportation |8 facilities by@rail and water which Norwich enjoys. If we may judge from the offerings which the merchants are advertising for Wednesday, Dollar Day will outdo the Dollar Day held last August in value-giving. The variety and quality of the articles offered are astonishing | in number and value. An unlimited array of goods will grace the show windows and show cases in the stores. Men's wearing apparel, tools, sporting goods and everything that appeals to man are on the list of special values |§ and a glance at the advertisements in this morning’s Bulletin will convince the men that they have not been over- looked. 1 he real secret of bar-| right and early is the trading, and by so do- the rush and bustle of Nobody likes to stand around a crowded counter waiting for a chance to get within speaking dis- tance of thé clerk, and nobody likes to be jostled and pushed about. That is what generally happens to the shop- | per who waits until a few minutes be- | fore closing time and very often he| leaves the store in a dissatisfied frame of mind. Advice to The Bulletin read- ers: Study the advertisements care- fully; make up vour mind that you will ‘take advantage of the splendid offers, and then come early, if possi- ble. If you find it impossible to make a morning visit to the stores, come early in the afternoon. For the henefit | of those who are employed during the day and thus unable to shop by day- light, the stores will be open until 9 a’clock in the evening. the crowds. A Historic Precedent.
