SEIDL caption: RIDICULOUS DAY — It has been said that Ridiculous Day comes but once a year because it takes that much time to recover for both merchants and bargain hunting customers alike. Most of the stores around the square featured sidewalk merchandise displays and from the first thing in the morning until several hours after the parade Thursday afternoon the sidewalk clerks were nearly swarmed under by the hundreds of people, all intent on finding the biggest bargain. — Journal photo by Bob Elliott
