Rocky will have their first Trades Day Monday, July 17th.
The Merchants of Rocky are putting fourth every effort to
make this day a big day. Every business house have cut the
prices on many articles giving the buying public an opportu-
nity to save money on all their purchases. Every business
house will have specials for Third Monday and it will be worth
your while to investigate, before you buy elsewhere. Not only
will you be offered specials of all kinds, but you will also be
given an opportunity to get one of the cash prizes given away
on the third Monday of each month. Dont forget to ask your
merchant for tickets when you make a purchase-
There seems to be some misunderstanding as to who
should receive tickets. There will be no tickets given to any
one who belong to the Chamber of Commerce or their imediate
family or to any person employed by tha firms donating to
this fund.
