Willimantie’s first officlal Dollar Day Bold Saturday was a great success, the “Seasonable merchandise)at gretly reduc- prices,” and “Bargainst as advertised,” logans adopted by the merchants meet- ing with the approval of the buying pub- Hee, ever ready to take advantage of any offering of the reliable merchants. People from many sectins of eastern Commecticut pald the Thread City a visit Saturday many of them for the first time, ind learned that the loca | merchants sould offer to their patrons bargains that sonld not be equalled In many a larger =ity Every store In town felt the effect of the deluge of people out for barg: and several stores were forced to their deors soon after cpening as the | the machine The car end- srowds flocking into their establishments | threatened to bring the fronts of the buildings in with them, so great was Gheir rush to get there first. “1 kmew the people would appreeiate the values offered on Dollar Day and Say Willtmantie a visit, was the remark ! f one of the merchants. ‘“Residents of | Eastern Connecticut may rest assured fhat the Willlmantic merchants will offer many more such barzain days in the Dr.F.

Tae remarks, however, were not all on the part of the merchants. Many & lucky purchaser of a desired article proudly displayed his or her purchase with the remark, “Some buy for a dol- lar,” and “The merchandise offered was exactly as advertised,” were outspoken more than a few times. Bvery merchant who took part in the dollar day event realized before closing time at night that Dollar Day was real- Iy a purchasers’ day, a day looked upon by the buying public as a day when thcy could go into a store and come out per- fectly satisfied with the - savifig they had made. The merchants satisfind that they had served the buying public to best of their ability stated to their questioner such things as, “It was by far = the biggest day's business our firm has aver done. Had, we known what the people wers looking for we would have been better prepared for them, but as it was omr stock ran out and we must restock our shelves.” ! J. B. Fullerton: The biggest day ever. People recognized the bargains | and came from far to purchase. J. P. Bath: It was a wonderful day. Our store was filled with purchasers ready to take mrechandise offered at saving prices. J. F. Carr: t was a big day. We did not have help emough to wait upon our customers in our useual style. Pasnik Company: It was “he bigzest day’s business our stcres have ever dome. Dollar day in Willimantic was the best thing ever put over. Jordan Hardware: It was a husy day, people seemed to realize what bargains the merchants offered. P. Frank Cunningham: It couldn't have been otherwise, when such bargains were offered for Dollar Day shoppers. Barbier-Lameroux: Dollar day was our biggest day—Willimz gic had bar- gain, the readers of adverusing knew it and came. Rhode Island Textile: Our stock is practically depleted and we must re- stock for regular trade. John E. Brick and Charles F. Rise- dorf, Daniel Levin and Samuel Felman: It was the best day we have had. Co- operation plus proper pricing brought the buying publi cto this city on Saturday. Statements from other merchants would only swell this long list of truths, and with the good words of setisfied cus- tomers it would be too far prolonged. Five words say it all “Dollar Day was & Success ! Fire which broke ut shortly afternoon Saturday destroyed the bungalow, barn and hen housc owned by James P. Walk- er of Brown avenue, at the westerly line of this city. Mr. Walker's loss is es- timated at $1,000. The fire evidently ot its start after Bennie Eastman, who had been list in charge of the nouse by Mr. Walker, started a fire in the kitchen stove, for cooking purposes. Mr. East- man noticed flames shooting from the roof of the bungalow and ran nearly a half mile to West Main street where a telephone message for help was sent into Bngine Company No. 1, which responded. The firemen could do but little upon ar- riving at the scene of the fire as no drants were nearby. Chemical was used but the building was teo far gone. Mr. Walker stated that he nad lost some $150 in money that was in the house an da quantity of clothing. The livestock was saved. Mr. Walker is a night watchman at Quidnick-Windham manufacturing company and a few years ago he purchased a tract of land on the bank of tie Willimantic river where he built the bungalow.
