SEE EFFECTS OF Effects of the "Save and Spend" campaign of the Ladles' Home Jour nal with allied antl-hoardlng drives, In bringing cash Into circulation, have been felt this week among local stores. Montgomery Ward and Company, through the local manager, I. F. Andres, reported tihe heaviest buying for Ward week since the Christmas season. "I can readily see that peo ple are coming to realize that hoard ed dollars cannot profit from today's bargains," commented the local man ager. Ward week, known as the Mont gomery ward low-price prosperity drive, will be continued until Satur day night, explained Mr. Andres. America has built Ward's to Its present strength and. In return, Ward week Is lending a helping hand In America's campaign for prosperity by offering enormous 1033 stocks at slashed, rock-bottom prices." The local manager continued: "Ward week will accomplish Its pur pose by Saturday night that is, high grade merchandise at the new, low prices will be exchanged for the hoarded dollars that would otherwise miss the values of 1932, keeping men out of work." An Interesting sidelight was re vealed by Mr. Andres, who stated that bargain hunters had traded In dollar bills during the day. This type of money, apparently hoarded. has been exceptionally scarce during the past two years. Church Bible Class Meets at Merritt's For Friday Session CENTRAL POINT, April 13. (Spl.) Mrs. C. M.
