TRADE DAY PLAN
SATISFACTORY
TO MERCHANTS
General Satisfaction Express-
ed Over First Trades Day
—Expect to Hold Another
October 5
The Brownsville Trades Day was a
decided suct.'Si according to reports
made by Brownsville merchants this
morning and the decision was reached
at a meeting of the Merchants Associa-
tion to hold the second Trades Day on 1
October 5th. Many additional features |
and many changes will be made as a
result of the experiences gained in the
first Trades Day and the second event
will be even more successful than the
first was the general opinion expressed
by the merchants.
Though wea:hcr and road condition?
were not favorable in many parts of the
Valley a large number were in the cit>
from all Valley points. The crowd ’vas
not as large as anticipated but those
who came were here for business and
most of the stores had a iarge volume
of trade and hundreds of people who
seldom visit Brownsville to make pur-
chases were among the crowds who took j
ad'notate of the bargains Brownsville
stores offered. Buyers were unanimous
in expressing their approval of ".he bar-
gains offered by the stores and the
treatment accorded them by the Browns-
ville merchants and many of tluyn
made heavy purchases.
“We came to get bargains and w«-
eer'a nly got them” stated one farmer
from the upper part of the Valley.
“This is the first time I ever bought
more than a dinner in Brownsville and
I was surprised when 1 went into the
stoi.-s and ?aw the large stocks of mer-
chandise they carried and low price?
they made. Hereafter I am going to
do at least part of my buy ng in
Brownsville. Your stores here remind
me of those in me home city up north.
The rca on they have not been getting
more business from up the Valley is
because few of us newcomers realized
what hig stocks your stores carried.”
That Brownsville merchants made
many additional customers through the
medium of Trades D.iv is generally
accepted. Hundreds of Valley people
from Point Isabel to Mist-ion and
especially the newcomers to the Valley
many of whom had never before made
a shopping trip to Brownsville have
learned that Brownsville offer- them the
best shopping places in the Valley and
they will avail themselves of this know
ledge in the future.
The crowds which thronged the city
yesterday afternoon and evening were
greatly pleased with the manner in
which the merchants had dc-orated their
stores for the occasion. With tin* ex-
ception of one or two places. every !
store on Klirad'cth -tree! was «le. orated- <
many of them quite profusely a<d some 1
tx-uhi ifiiI decorative schemes were in
evidence.
The music liy the 12th Cavalry hand
throughout the day added mr.rhtto 'h-
plrautre of the visitors who weft- loud
in pra-s" of this feature.
