These are Twin Dollar Days and are 'being taken advantage of by many of the leading' merchants who are offering various attractive bar- gains to the shopping public, Dollar Day was originated in order to give merchants an op- portunity of showing what won- derful values could be given for a dollar, In the case of articles sold for less, the same principle ap- plies, As a rule there is a single dollar day but this year the mer- chants working in co-operation with The Oshawa Daily. Times de- cided on a Two-Day-Sale, which will give everyone a double oppor- tunity of visiting the stores. There is not a single branch of retail trade which has been over- looked by the Dollar Day adver- tisers. A person can buy anything. from a lot to a grand piano, from a hair ribbon to an automobile, from a bottle of perfume to a pair of shoes, fropr a hat to a blouse, . everywhere, " of the henefits of these ollar Day campaigns is to bring together -d4 retail merchant in a big co-operative method to put' Oshawa "on the map."

Indi- vidual merchants have certainly excelled themselves in their endeav- or to make these Dollar Days long to be remembered by the bargain loving public. Values of the most remarkable kind are sticking out like sore thumbs on every page of the paper and in many cases where the supply is necessarily li- mited, it is only a question of who can get there earliest be- cause such bargains cannot pos- sibly last long. For this reason it is much in the ingerest of. all shoppers to be on hand as early as possible, even if the breakfast dishes have to wait till later in the day for their morning bath. It would be impossible to attempt to refer to individual bargains and "the special stunts" being adver- tised by various stores, but it will pay every reader handsomely to read every advertisement and make a shopping list from them. That should not be hard to do. But above all, be sure and shop early so as not to be disappoint- ed.
