I J Frank Moore mayor of Boone proclaims the start of the President's Buy Now campaign for three months. He urges residents to buy goods to sustain higher wage levels and back up the NRA while merchants have their stocks discounted for a rebound in better times.
Boone retail merchants promote the Now Is the Time to Buy campaign with their annual Fall Bargain Carnival. Prices rise daily as stocks for replacement must be bought at higher old-price costs, prompting shoppers to buy locally. Prizes are offered to every shopper in Boone during the event.
A list of donated items includes a Ladies' Compact from Boone Drug Co. Kodak from Watauga Drug Co. a wash and grease job from W. R. Chev. and various subscriptions to the Democrat. Other prizes include silk dress, flour, theatre tickets, groceries and auto accessories. Prizes awarded Saturday night October 21 at 9 o'clock.
