Shopportunity Days Drawing Draws Record Crowd
A record crowd estimated at two thousand swamped the corner of 12th and Jackson for the Shopportunity Days drawing. Ralph Thomson acted as master of ceremonies selecting winners for appliances. Top prize went to Loretta Harrington, who attended with her husband but insisted the ticket was hers. The event, run by the Warren Ellis on retail committee, was considered an unqualified success and may become annual. Merchants reported strong three day sales and high downtown traffic amid banner bargains.
