Jubilee Week
Door-To-Door
Drive To Be
Held Oct. 25
The door-to-door campaign
of the United drive for the Com-
munity Chest will be held in
Mt. Joy Monday evening, Oct.
25. Twenty-five solicitors will
visit the homes in the communi-
ty that night.
An appeal is made to the citi
zens of the borough to support
the drive. One thought suggest-
ed is that help should be given
to those less fortunate to help
them get back on the path of a
healthier and happier life. The
committee asks that the citizens
of Mount Joy unite to serve a
need greater than in any year
of the nation’s history.
Solicitors are Mr. and Mrs.
Michael Pricio, Mr. and Mrs.
Warren Hayman, Miss Christine
Weidman, Mrs. Gerald Wade,
Mrs. George Albert, Mrs. David
Myers, Bernerd Grissinger, Miss
Wilma Dommel, L. W. Longe-

‘Begin Series
Of Specials
Next Week
Shoppers of the Mount Joy
area will find their dollars
sharply increased in value as re-
sult of action taken by the Re-
tail Merchants of the Chamber
of Commerce.
Meeting Tuesday night, Mt.
Joy business men approved
plans for offering special val-
ues over a period of the next
several weeks.
These values will be present-
ed in a series of full page ad-
vertisements in The Mount Joy
Bulletin. The promotion will be-
gin with the Oct. 28 issue of
The Bulletin.
Said a spokesman of
group:
the
ed to acquaint the people of the
area with the many advantages
been a mistaken im-
pression among some shoppers
| that they must go to the larger
| communities to shop economie-
ally. “We feel that given the
| opportunity, we can show any-
one that quality for quality he
can do no better than right here.
And in a great many cases a
shopper will find better quality
at lower prices here in Mt. Joy
out of the high rent areas than
in the larger towns.
“The convenience of buying
in Mount Joy cannot be equal-
led in the larger communities.
We have adequate parking fa-
cilities, our stores are not jam-
| med, our clerks have time to be
| courteous and helpful.
“Of course, local merchants
are interested in the eommunity
for the business it brings them.
But that interest goes much fur-
ther than that. They are interes-
ted in the community as a place
to live. Therefore they support
all worthwhile endeavors to
make their town a better place.
“Dollars spent in Mount Joy
not only buy as much or more
as dollars spent elsewhere, but
those same dollars circulate
many times creating community
prosperity that reflects to the
benefit of all.
“All the business people of
Mount Joy ask is a chance to
show the shopping public that
this is a good place to do busi-
We are anxious to serve
to the best of our ability. We
will welcome any suggestions
for improving our services.”
