Show At Tunkhannock
On Thursday and Friday of next
week, folks from as far as 50 miles
will be in Tunkhannock to hear
the special entertaiment, see the
displays and demonstrations of new
home and farm equipment. Judging
from the enthusiasm of the store
force the year’s party should sur-
pass past year’s performances, and
that means a whale of a show. It
is estimated 5,000 persons will at-
tend.
Special entertainers who will take
part will include such well known
artists as the Four Dukes of Thea-
tre Fame. Eaton and Ubaldini,
Musicians made famous by appear-
ances with ‘Tommy Dorsey's”

magician “Doc” Mifflin, while
further amusement will be afforded
all visitors by movies, guessing con-
test, interesting demonstrations,
bait casting and log sawing contests
open to all, and exhibitions by

per of the East.
Demonstrations will feature the
latest in gas cooking, electric ap-
pliances, the Bendix Home Laundry,

Free lunch will be served both
days, and all of the above xacition-
ed is also years as a guest of the
Ray wurray Store, Thursday and
Friday of next week.
During the Big, Spring Party”,
the firm stresses the fact that this
yearly blowout is a celebration-not
a sale, and no one will be urged to
buy. If those who attend get some
fun out of it and learn something
new about the modern ways and
means of living, then the Gay
Murray objective will have been
reached.
