GLASGOW — Peebles Department Store will host a Charity Days event on Sunday and Monday, Nov. 1-2. The event will benefit local non-profit charities through the sale of coupon booklets.
Peebles, working with participating charities, will donate a quantity of coupon booklets to charities, which will then distribute them for a $5 donation for each booklet. All donations from this distribution go to the charity.
The $5 donation benefits the charity and the customer receives a booklet of money saving coupons valid both days of the event.
The booklet features coupons for all departments with discounts up to 50 percent off. For example, ladies’ fashion boots and men’s gifts are featured at 50 percent off. As a special bonus, the coupon book offers a free $10 gift card with every $100 purchase made during the event.
Participating charities, including Community Action-Head Start, Barren County Dance Team, Glasgow LaCrosse Team and Cumberland Presbyterian Youth Group, will begin offering the booklets prior to the Charity Days event.
Glasgow Prescription Center opens new store

Orders rise to some U.S. factories
Orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods rose in September as the biggest jump in demand for machinery in 18 months offset weakness in commercial aircraft and autos.
The second advance in three months for durable goods orders is a hopeful sign for the manufacturing sector, which has helped lead the early stages of the fledgling economic recovery. But many economists worry that demand could falter in the months ahead as various government stimulus programs wind down.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that orders for items expected to last at least three years increased 1 percent last month, matching economists' expectations. Excluding transportation, orders rose 0.9 percent, slightly better than the 0.7 percent that economists had forecast.
A 7.9 percent rise in orders for machinery, the best showing since an 8.5 percent surge in March 2008, led the overall increase.
