NO. 64 t t 1 BARGAIN WEDNES DAY WILL BE HELD SEPTEMBER 23RD Community Sales Day Will Be Held Two Weeks Hence and Will be Bed Letter Event in Sales. From Thursday's Daily The monthly sales day which has teen featured in this city lor the past few years will be held for the month of September on September 23rd. this being due to the fact that the August bargain sales that formed the summer clearances were for a week's period and took up a great deal of the time of the merchants and consequently the date for Sep tember was changed from the third to the fourth Wednesday of the month. The Plattsmouth monthly sales day is a pioneer event of its kind in this part of Nebraska and western Iowa and its excellent features have been taken advantage of by numer ous other cities which have adopted this plan of holding their special 'sales since their review of the Platts mouth sales offerings. The approach of fall and winter with the need for heavier clothing and shots as well as other season able merchandise makes this Septem ber sales day one that will be await ed with the greatest of interest by Plattsmouth people and the residents of the trade territory in Cass county as it will afford them the chance to get some money saving values in their fall purchases that they cannot fail to appreciate when they visit the Plattsmouth stores and inspect the fine lines of merchandise that will be offered for their inspection and purchase. Those who have visited the month- ly bargain days in Plattsmouth need no second urging to be present and taking the fullest advantage of what the local merchants are offering as they have received a full 100 cents on the dollar for their purchases and found that the goods are as repre sented, backed by the merchant who sells them and who maintains their standing by honest dealingvflth his neighbors. Trading at home gtres the pur chaser the opportunity of personal inspection of the articles bought, the knowledge that their merchant will stand responsible for the goods that come from their store and that the money that is spent at home goes in to the making of the community, making a better city and county. Those who have not visited the monthly sales day at Plattsmouth should mark down the date of Sep tember 23rd in red letters and be present as it will be a real event in j the trade history or the city ana county.
