Buying interest in the Twin Dollar Days is not alone confined to the city. Hundreds of out-of-town buyers were on hand early this morning, and every hour added to their number. Before evening, it is anticipated, buyers re: presenting two thousand families in South Ontario and Durham will be competing with the thrifty of Oshawa for the exceptional bargains offered. Keen interest is everywhere = ex- pressed .in the identity of the Myster- ious Mr. Dollar. This gentlemen who rivals the anonymity of the Man in the Iron Mask enters the second of the Twin Dollar Days without any- one haying spoken to him in the terms the formula, and thereby revealed the man of many deceptions to the public eye. Ie has visited each of the several dollar day bargain stores several times. Many, he states, have regarded him with open suspicion. One elder- iy lady actually touched his arm as if meaning to speak, but with a blush thats howed her innate delicacy she refused to obey the hunch which would have won her the prize. Perhaps exceeding the interest im the Man of Mystery is the public's at- tention to The Oshawa Daily Times bean guessing contest. Great ballot boxes in the office of The Oshawa Daily Times are stuffed with guesses. The locked box will: remain closed until Monday when competent judges will announce the one who guessed the ex- act number or nearest to it.
