lem is to get a complete list

dresses of persons within the

Joy. The date wag set for

Merchants
To Stage
Promotions
This week Mount Joy and
Florin merchants are launch-
ing a new, 10-week promo-
tion, designed to attract peo-
ple into their gtores and in-
to the local community.
Friday night, at 7 o'clock,
at the fire house, the first of
the series of drawings will
be held. Tickets are being
given free of charge in the
stores of the
merchants.
These merchants, nearly
30 in number, have planned
the spring series as a con-
tinuation of their February
Silver Dollar Sales Days and
are calling the new project
their Silver Dollar Promo-
tion.
An advertisement setting
out details of the project and
listing the merchants’ taking
part appears elsewhere in
this issue of The Bulletin.
As part of the program, a
score of the merchants are
offering an outstanding array
of “hit item” bargains—much
in the manner they did a
few weeks ago when the
specials were snapped up by
eager, wish shoppers who
visit the stores and make
careful selections.
A full page advertisement,
also in this issue of The
Bulletin, calls attention to
some of the bargain specials.
To complete their plans
for the Silver Dollar Promo-
tion the Retail Merchants as-
association held its March
meeting Monday night at the
Mount Joy grade school. Co-
Chairman John Way was in
charge and a good represen-
tation of the membership
was present.
Each Friday night $60 in
cash will be offered to ticket
holders.
There will be one prize of
$25; one for $10 and five $5
each.
Leonard Safko and John
Way will be in charge of the
drawing this week. Other
merchants participating will
have charge during the
weeks to follow.
