SR N e S5 5 Norwich merchants: are uniting next Saturday, August 24, in another Norwich Dollar Day, making another of those periodical events that the people of Eastern Connscticut have come to look forward to as their time of opportunity 'to make a dollar go farthest in special values offered by the merchants of the city. All the merchants enlistéed in the plan, which includes all thé wide- awake and progressive storekeepers of the city, are predicting that buver and seller alike will find this August Dollar Day the best in the series. Since the experiment of holding Dol- lar Day on Saturday was tried, the choice of this day has proved so sat- isfactory that it has been decideq to make Dollar Day a Saturday event again, which is a special accommo- dation for those living outside of the city, and gives them a fair chance to participate with city people in the trading advantages of the day. Since Saturday is a short work-day in so many of the surrounding towns whose people come here to do their buying, the holding of Dollar Day on the last | business day of the week is a change in the local plans that these patrons have shown they fully appreciate, and the Norwich merchants have been prompt to recognize the better oppor- tunity that it gives out-of-town buy- ers’ to come to Norwich and partici pate in the advantages of Dollar Day. In one other point there is shown the purpose of the Norwich merchants {to do all they can to make the oppor- tunities of Dsllar Day available to i the fullest extent to those who come from out-of-town. This is in an agreement as to the hours of opening the stores on Dollar Day. All the subscribers to the Dollar Day move- ment have agreed to make 9 o’clock in the morning the uniform hour for opening their stores and not to open before then. Through such an agree- ment, local customers and out-of-town | buyers are placed upon as near an |equal footing as possible. - Most everybody who would be interested in | being on hand at the opening hour can i get here by 9 o’clock and share equally {in the special velues and barzain | offers the stores of Norwich will teem { with on Dollar Day. Dollar Day is recognized throughout Eastern Connecticut as the most effective retail accomplishmenti for the benefit of the consumer that curs -daring the entire year. This | is | & time of all others when conditions i | | | | | i | make the practice of economy a study in all ranks and this condition the { Dollar Day merchants are doing their best to meet in the bargains that they will offer. Every need for the home {or for personal use will be met by ! the offerings of Norwich merchants. Norwich stores are mnoted far and near for the high quality of the goods that stock their shelves and counters and from all these investment on the part of their cus- |stocks the Norwich merchants are| making a study to provide real mer- -handising opportunities for sound tomers. It is such a policy that has made Norwich Dollar Days events to be looked forward to by the pur- chasers of the city and surrounding territory for they know that real values ang actual savings and steps in the ecomomy programme to which the nation is committed now will be, offered by the stores of Norwich. Shoppers, too, have the assurance that Norwich merchants stand back of their goods, and that the bargains they wil secure will be just as rep- resented. Advantages in pricing made for the benefit of the customer will not be at the expense of quality. Such is the variety of well chosen merchandise to be,found in Norwich stores that there is not a want -of the family that can be mentioned that cannot be filled on Norwich Dollar Day at advantageous prices. Right down through the family from grand- father to the baby, eévery need can be: satisfactorily supplied out of an as- tonMshing assortment to choose from, everything stamped with the quality mark and all brought where discrim- inating buvers will see how great will be the vaiues offered for a dollar. There are articles of apparel in un- limited variety and also a hundred and one things for the household. ‘While shopping is usually entrusted to the women of the family, Dollar Day will offer many opportunities to the men in the way of apparel, sport- ing articles, tools and hardware, so that it will repay any man to scan closely the advertising columns and to scrutinize the counters where they will see how well the Norwich Mer- chants are taking thought for their wants, One feature of Dollar Day that the public should bear in mind is that no mail or telephone orders will bé re- ceived for the Dollar Day offerings. This is an agreement to which prac- tically all have subscribed as the wisest policy for this special event. Several reasons make this apparent as the fairest plan for the day and calculated to work to the ‘best advan- tage of all. Primarily the value of Dollar Day is in its advertising value of the Norwich stores and of Neor- wich as a trading. center. To have out-of-town atrons ordering by tele- phone, rather than actually coming to the city and getting acquainted at| first hand with the advantages of| trading here, would defeat, to a great extent, the advert g value of the day to Norwich merchants. Bargain ngs, too, may be limited in quan- ity on s, and it would be || manifest] to allow some cus- tomers by telephone orders to secure the advantaze of first choices and possibly shut out others who had made special efforts to come to a store early in order to obtain the | special values that will fill their néed. It is confidently that the public stice of this stand and hants by use h orders which haye to decline but firmly. i FOREIGN COMMERCE. | Qur Trade With the Eu.cp«.an Neutr- lals, 1914»1918—19’.7 a Record Breaker. | Trade of the Ln,rea This term, th includes of co nmarlk nds, Spain and Sw, ation by The National A com- Neutrals, in the ix European med, aggregated abov 8§ about $125 600 000 practi- cally $400,000.060 in 20,000,000 i 1916, $380,000,000 in 1815, and 5183,- | ch preceeded the war. eadstuffs, meats fr cake, cotton, tebacco, copper. iron, 1 were normall oleum, our chief countrie: = countries, berder many, (exports to them in the articles which {would be reguired by Germany for ary purposes ,or otherw reused rapidly after the o e war and continued to increase un- il the entrance of the United States {into the war rendered necessary the riction ‘of the movement of " this |class of material to any and all countries from which it might into Germany Powers. { Bxports to the Scandinavian count- | {ries alone increased from 40 million g i dollar; the fisc; ear 1914 to practi- cally $200,000000 in 1915, those | f|[to the entire neural group, above inamed, from $183000000 in 1914 to 382,000.000 in 1915 and $393,000,000 in 1917. With the entrance of the United | States into the war in April 1917 { conditions instantly changed, and the exports to the neutrals, which had been 325 million dollars in the ten | months ending with April 1217, drop- {ped to. 180 millions in the ten months jending with April third that of the correspending period {of the preceding year, while for the !single month of May 1918, the total |to the six neu s was but abo: 148,000,000 against about $32,000,000 in ,A',) of the preceding year. These reductions in our exports to | the neutral countries of Europe occur ‘(.hlefl) in the class of material likely to be wanted by the Central Powers, {and this of course would be foodstufis |and material available for the battle- i field, or the production of such ma- | terial. Of wheat, for example, the ex- |ports to the neutrals for the ten '| months of the fiscal year 1916 were over 28000,000 bushels, in the same months of 1917, 22,000,000 and in the corresponding months of 1918 only 4,- 500,000 bushels.
