If ft will be of any use to you.
you have my consent to use it in
any way you' wish.
"Good Luck and success to the

The poem reads as follows:
'Gome's a special day !:>r

The last day in July.
A day so extrn special . .-,-
We've- got to tell you why!
merchants got together
And decided that you rate
One day that's .so oulstandinp
In bargains really -great.
So "pleased as punch" we mer-chants
are
With past support from you
Wo think a bonus you deserve.
That bonus now comrs true:
You'll find our doors with wel-come
mats.
Our. prices hacked away.
We've set aside the thirty-first
To give you Dollar Day!
