A great many stores will group together newly re-| cgived articles, such as three with a standard retail price of fity cents each, or several of a dissimilar sort can be grouped ufder the dollar requirement. Dealers in wearing apparel f@r both men and women, and dealers in shoes, will have on s#le goods at sacrifice reductions, featuring the principle of a dgllar or possibly several dollars off the regular price= Any mfultiple of the dollar can be used in the same way and still| camply with the spirit of the day.. Thus Dollar Day will nét ofly be a chance to secure big bargains on small articles but afso a chance to secure big savings ‘on all kinds of wearing apparel as well. : Bargains For Everybedy The merchants will not play favorites, for there will be &)I]ar Day Bargains for Men, Women, Boys and Girls. The véxole family can benefit by these extraordinary offerings, wjthout cutting a great big hole in the family pocket-book. I doesn’t matter whether a man has one solitary dollar bill tiinvest or a whole pocketful of the “long green,” he will fid his case well taken care of. All he has to do is to walk| imo a store, inquire for the department selling the article! he wants and he will find it. * There will be reductions on| n&n’s_apparel, sporting articles, tools of all kinds, and many! ofher items too numerous to list here. However, it is safe to s?' that if a man is looking for a bargain he will surely find | it!n the stores of Norwich on Dollar Day. Doors Will Open At 9 A. M. As on previous Dollar Days, the merchants have agreed among themseives, not to open for business until 9 a. m. This announcement should appeal to suburban pations. If the stores were to open at anearlier hour some of the out of town buyers would be unable to be on hand and would per- baps feel that soms f the best bargains had been snapped PR OORS WILL OPEN AT 9 A.

With all stores opening at 9 a. m. harp everybody can be on hand to share equally in the big offers of the day. The public should bear in mind the policy which prac- tically all subscribers to the Dollar Day movement have adopted; viz. no mail or telephone orders will be received for these Dollar Day special offerings. It should not be diffi- cult for the public to understand why this policy is necessary. {ere is the explanation : The Dollar Day plan is a move- [2 e Unless the people come to he city and visit the stores much of the advertising value of the movement will be lost. Again, many of the Dollar Day pecial offerings are limited in quantity and it would be more than unfair to allow patrons to order by telephone some of the best values in the stores and disappoint customers who pos- sibly at great personal inconvenience, have come to the city at the opening hour for the express purpose of securing some of these goods. To conclude : Every Dollar Day bargain ad- vertised by the merchants of Norwich for Saturday, August 21st, will be found on the counters of the stores in this city at the opening hour, 9a.m. So come early; don’t wait until the last minute and then you will go back home happy and con- tented in the thought that Norwich Dollar Day has been well worth while.
