ny" Take Advantage
Of Dollar Day Sales
; Merchants   Find   Response
!       To Cut In Prices Is,
i      ,       Widespread.
Extra Entertainment   Provided   For
i Shoppers During Day and
I at Night.
I Was Dollar Day a success? Ask
I the business men of Saline and they'll
tell you that it was a real day.
I "Exceeded all my expectations,"
| reports one of the leading merchants
| of the town. "I was busy from seven
j in the morning until eleven at night
i and hardly had time to eat my meals
! in spite of the fact that I. had extra
j help."
j     "Very  gratifying,"     said    another
| prominent business man.    "I did not
; believe that we would    get as good
a response as we did."
All of which goes to show that
Saline's Dollar Day was a real event
and, if the merchants were busy,
• tere is no doubt -but that there were
many individuals equally as busy
buying things at prices that were
considerably lower than those usually asked. One of the main reasons for the success of the day was
that prices were cut; often below
cost, just to make attractive offerings on a friendship basis;
Next year the Dollar Day celebration will probably be even more of
a success than that put on at this
time. One business man in commenting on the event said that next year
he would have even a greater number
of items on the lower price list than
this because the response was so
good at this time.
People from all sections of the
county were present to take advan^
tage of the sales prices. Many were
here from localities to the south and
west while others came from Ann
Arbor and Ypsilanti.
A special entertainment consisting
of two acts of vaudeville was put on
in addition to the regular Wednesday evening free moving picture.
A record 'breaking attendance was
noted. Another entertainment feature of the day was a hypnotic ana
buirial alive act. At 10 o'clock in
the morning a young woman was
hypnotized in the window of Dieti-
kef's furniture store and at 3 she was
placed in a rough coffin and buried
alive. During the entertainment in
the evening, the box was removed
from the ground and she was brought
out of her spell and xemoved from
the box, apparently in a perfectly
normal condition.
Next year Dollar. Day will be 'even
a bigger event than it was this and
the expectations are that the expe^
riewce 'of this first year wil tend to
make the next one of unusual opportunities.

FRANK CAMBURN, Treasurer.
Last Wednesday night was the final showing of the weekly movies
that :have been running every Wednesday night oni North Ann Arbor
street beside the Citizens Bank. The
largest crowd of the 'season was
present at this last production; drawn
partly ,by the,fact that this was the
end and partly because of'-the many
attractions of Dollar Day. ..•'
G. E. Waltman of Detroit provided
the moving picture ^apparatus and
the pictures and h^l f shown them
weekly since July 2'when- the first
program was given. The attendance
has gradually increased as the report spread of the excellence of the
attractions until the few hundred
that appeared during the early part
Of the summer increased to approximately 1500 at the last performance.
At this time, as a special, wind-up,
two acts of vaudeville accompanied
the regular show. A musical act
consisting of the Renardi trio, an accordionist and two girl saxophonists,
one of whom doubled on the banjo,
put on several numbers which were
well received by the audiance. Following -this act, the coffin of the
woman, who had been buried alive
in the afternoon, was opened and
she stepped forth, as well as ever in
spite of her reputed lack of air and
hypnotic spell, vto receive the plaudits of the crowd.- Another member
of the burying act troupe performed a straight-jacket escaping act
while tied with ropes and chains.
The regular weekly entertainments
have been provided by the following
business men and' organizations of
the village: Citizens Bank, Saline
