RADES DAY A GRAND SUCCESS
SURPASSED BUSINESS
MEN'S EXPECTA-
TIONS.
Davenport's first Trade's
Day, which was pulled off
last Saturday, was a grand
success from every point
of view.
The farmers began to
gather in the morning and
by two o'clock in the after-
noon, one of the biggest
crowds that have been seen
in Davenport for many
months, if not for years,
was here.
The program was admir-
ably carried out, and the
prizes given to the winners
promptly.
While this was Daven-
port's first Trade's Day
it will not be the last.
Each third Saturday of
every month will be set
aside as Trade's Day and
prizes and special prices
will be given by the mer-
chants and business men.
The idea of this Trade's
Day originated with Mr.
C. S. Davie, the manager
of the J. W. Graves Lum
ber Co. and to him much
credit is due to the success
of the day. Oliver Ingenthron
of Swarts & Ingenthron
B. F. Griggsby, of The
Davenport Trading C o
H. C. Hix, the Frisco agent
here, and Jesse Jones the
Santa Fe agent, were also
earnest workers, and helpec
to make the day a success.
Mr. English, the Frisco
agriculticutrist gave one of
his characteristic ta Iks to
the farmers, which was well
received. Taken all in
all the day was wajl spent,
but it is not the last one
Davenport WILL HAVE
^ANOTHER Trade's Day.
On another page of this
paper will be found the
names of the prize winners.

There is a new song going
the rounds, and it runneth in
this wise: '"We don't want to
buy at your place, we won't
trade there any more; you'll
be sorry when you see us go
ing to some other store. You
can't sell us any stale goods,
we have opened wide our eyes;
we don't want to trade at youi
