ft Unique Holiday
The Banks Will * *be Open
Thrift Day, February 3d
1
The spirit, ef the season through
which we have just passed has
been largely tlmf of spending
money wit h a liberal and perhaps
a reckless hand. As a result,'
many individuals am now prob
ably feeling a financial strain.
The beginning of n now year is
generally accepted as a particular
ly appropriate time to make good
resolutions and to formulate plans
on which to base future operations.
In looking forward to this year's
activities, is it reasonable to as
sume that one's obligations will be
lighter? No! Experience has
taught us that rather the reverse
is true—that with each succeeding
year increased demands are the
order of the day.
Is it not particularly fitting
therefore] following close upon the
heels of the New Year, that - riur
next national holiday should be
on directing thought and attention
not to spending but to saving—to
economy instead of prodigality—to
ways apd means to greater individ
ual conservation as opposed to ex
travagance, and waste?
That in effect is the purpose of
Thrift Day, the observance of
which was inaugurated throughout
the country on February 3d, 1010.
The day will be again observed on
minimum, the diminution of use- j
less extravagance and the conserva
tion of all resources, whether phys- j
ical, mental or mutoriid.
The demand of the ago is for
increased efficiency. With it, in-
Instry flourishes, advancement is
assured and prosperity is certain—
by it, progress for the individual,
the community, the stale and thy
nntion is measured.
The effect of thrift, while of vast
importance from an economic
standpoint, is,by no means limited
to the financial welfare of the in
dividual. Its practice not only re
sults in a competence in dollars
and cents bnt, develops character
through self-control, self-mastery
and tho self-confidence that thrift
inspires.
It is for these reasons' that tl;e
foiemost cduciuors of the country
are so insistent iu their recom
mendation that'thrift bo 'included
in tho school curriculum in order
that tho younger generation early
in life can be brought to a realisa
tion of its importance, its effects
and its benefits and through its
consistent practice become belter
men and women and more .stable
eitize is.
Many people think of thrift as
limited to saving. It is true that
thrift does include saving money
but only in so. far as s iving reflects
efficiency as exemplified in earning
European countries by reason of
interna! affairs are. forced to make
such tremendous demands, upon
American markets. . .V;
Is it, not obvious, therefore, that
the satisfactory solution of this
problem must ehsuo as the result
of carefully-planned uction on the
part, of every individual—through
the sensible application of thrift
principals as applied to spending—
in oilier words, through getting
full valumfor one’s money?
Here it must be also clearly
understood that thrift as applied
to spending does not mean depriv
ing oneself or one’s family of those
tilings which they are entitled .to
enjoy and expect. It simply im
plies discretion lu the expenditure
of money.
Tile housewife who aims to keep
her table expenses within a cer
tain limit, is enabled to practice
thrift through the • study of Low
and what to buy. She oftentimes
will bo surprised to learn that
there urp many of the less expen
sive cuts of meat which arc far
more nutritious than th.e expensive
ones, and just as tasty. There are
articles which she uses from day to
day on which a material saying can
be affected by buying them in
reasonable quanitics and in season.
The. thrifty man " ill recognize

I take this method of advising th§ public and my customers that I
^ have decided to retire from the mercantile business, and propose to close
out my entire stock of merchandise at actual cost-nothing held back.
This is a bona-fide closing out sale and I do not propose to get out
any flashy circulars containing leaders to induce you to come to my store,
^ t but I respectfully ask you to come and price the goods for yourself and
jj^| be convinced that you can save several dollars on your spring and sum-
A9jk mer supply of goods.
A very large percentage of my goods were bought before the ad-
vunce and 1 do not propose to mark the goodTupTo a price to represent
' what they „would cost me today.
• , This is an opportunity which you cannot afford to mi^s and you
should come at once before the best goods are gone.
Tlianking my customers and the public in general for the liberal
•vpatronage accorded me for the many years I have been in the mercantile
business, and trusting that you will avail yourself of this the best oppor
tunity of the season, I beg to remain,
