Show Cedar Merchants Set Sweepstakes lays Event v: & w The merchants of Cedar City will stage another Sweepstakes Sweep-stakes Days event on Friday and Saturday of this week, and once again shoppers of the entire southern Utah area have an opportunity of making real savings. Every business busi-ness firm in the City will offer special bargains for the event. The Sweepstakes Days are sponsored by the Retail Merchants committee of the Cedar City Chamber of Commerce, Com-merce, with several purposes behind its activities. Not only is the event staged as a stimulus to business in the City, but with two other objectives in mind. The first of these objectives is to keep money in southern south-ern Utah where it may circulate to the benefit of all who make their homes in this area. The sponsors of the event feel that everything possible should be done to make residents resi-dents of the area conscious of the importance of buying at home. The committee urges every resident of southern Utah to do his buying at home whereaver possible, but points out that when the merchandise needed is not available avail-able in their home town, it can be found in Cedar City, thus eliminating the necessity of sending away to mail order houses or to travel to the larger communities of northern Utah or California. The second objective is to acquaint the people of southern south-ern Utah and of Cedar City as well, with the wide variety of merchandise that is available at all times in the various vari-ous institutions of Cedar City, and to bring everyone to the realization that prices in Cedar City are comparable to those found anywhere in the state. Too many people, the committee members point out, are sending away for merchandise of all kinds simply because they are not aware of the fact that local firms stock the same items at the same prices. The Retail Merchants committee of the Chamber of Commerce asks that if better quality or lower prices are available anywhere, it be notified, and promises that a sincere effort will be made to equal both quality and price in local institutions. The committee invites all residents of southern Utah to take time to visit all firms in Cedar City and see for themselves what a wide range of merchandise is available avail-able here, and to compare quality and prices with those offered anywhere else. To add greater interest to the Sweepstakes days event the committee will give away four $25 prizes to individuals individ-uals who ship in Cedar City during the two days. A definite def-inite time and place for the awarding of each prize will be decided upon by the committee, and in each instance the individual who happens into a designated store at a designated time, or the first one to enter after that time, w ill receive a $25 prize. It will be to everyone's advantage to be in Cedar City on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 20 and 21. |
