Sponsored by the merchants' committee of the Ashland Cham- ber of Commerce headed by J. P. Daugherty, the event will formally open the holiday shopping season for this area and will bring into sharp focus the many offerings of Ashland firms. Each participating business house—and there are more than a hundred—will give a free prize to holder of the lucky number dis played in his window tonight. Special Christmas opening cou pons—among them the winners— were distributed to every house in Ashland and to school children of the city and surrounding areas by Camp Fire girls early this week, and holders of coupons have but to inspect winning numbers dis played in shop windows, compare them with numbers on their cou pons, and claim winners at the Chamber of Commerce office, , which will be open during the evening. In addition to the many window prizes, free turkeys will be given to holders of lucky coupons dur ing the opening, winning numbers to be posted at the Chamber of Commerce. Noisemakers will be distributed to children at 7 p. m. from the plaza, and the Ashland city band will enliven streets with music while store fronts glitter and shine with new holiday merchandise. Window shopping with a pur pose will be the keynote tonight, and streets are expected to be thronged with people glad for the season and keyed with anticipa tion and excitement as they tour windows for the numbers that will entitle them to handsome gifts "on the house.” Last year’s Christmas opening was a most successful occasion, sidewalks be ing packed with shoppers and youngsters until a late hour. City employes already have placed holiday decorations in the business district, and city firemen will display toys being repaired for distribution to underprivileged children in the old Tidings build ing on East Main street. ------------ •------------ SEEN IN A DAZE \ / / By Oar KEYHOLE REPORTER JACK HALFHILL playing special delivery postoffice.
