Semiâ€"annually, in February and August, the stores here stage this great bargain event for the benefit of their customers. Standard merâ€" chandise is offered at stupendous savings to better acquaint the houseâ€" wife with well known products and to create a fuller understanding beâ€" tween merchant and buyer. Highland Park merchants have been planning for weeks for Dollar Day. Altho prices are at a comâ€" paratively low level at this time, still more drastic savings will be ofâ€" fered in this big sales event next Thursday. All communities along the North Shore have established value savâ€" ings days, but no where can merâ€" chandise be purchased more economâ€" ically than right at home, Add transportation to the cost of your purchases elsewhere and you will realize the folly of going out of town to buy. An increase in the market prices is anticipated within a few months and it behooves the thrifty buyer to take advantage of these extremely low prices offered by the local merâ€" chants. Highland Park merchants know your needs and are ready to serve you to the best of their ability. By buying at home you are not only helping your local merchant to inâ€" crease his stock, but money spent here remains here and eventually comes back to you. During the early part of next week, the stores will be preparing for Dollar Day and will display large stocks of merchandise. Watch the advertisements in the next issue of the Press which will be publishâ€" ed earlier next week in order that the public. may familiarize themâ€" selves with the values offered. The jrecent salesman‘s Crusade in Highland Park served as a stimâ€" ulant to business. The "Buy At Home" policy advocated during that crusade is necessary during this sale. "Buy something from someâ€" body" ‘during the Dollar Day sale, and help put some one to work. Market demand creates ‘business, and business puts men back to work. School days are just a stone‘s throw away and this is a fine opporâ€" tunity to stock up on those much needed school clothes for Susie or John. Stock the larders with staâ€" ple merchandise which will keep for many weeks. Opportunity knocks at your door, it is up to you to grasp it. Don‘t forget that next Thursday is Dollar Day.
