'Tomorrow will be the Big Day in

Norwalk. not alone for Norwalk resi-

in W’cstport. \Vilton and New Can-
nan.
It will be In All-Norwalk Dollar

Day. with sixty progressibe merchants
of the city combining to offer rare
values to prospective purchasers.

A Dollar Day at this time of the
your is unusual enough. but. tomor-
row’s ovent takes on added interest
when it is known that tree transpor-
tation is to he offered those people
who come from \Vilton and New Can-
non. by having busses provided. not
alone to bring thorn to Norwalk' but
to take tholu home again. Then the
people of \Vestport are to be provided
with trolley tokens so that their trip
here llflti home again will cost'them
nothing.

Allvorilsoluents elsewhere in today’s
paper call the attention
people to the many bargains that are
oi'forml by merchants of the city who
deal in most every line of merchan-
disc.

Clothing. novcllios. groocrios. etc..

stores which deal in articles that rc-
tnil for‘muoh more than a. dollar. are.
making price cuts to meet the spirit
of the (lay.

Tomorrow is the first. time ill the
history of the oily that. merchants at
both ends of the city have 'Colnbincd
to “bill s. Dollar Day. and it is ex-
poclvwl that a record breaking volunlu
of business will be roporled when the
stores linally close tomorrow night.
