A Household Name.

The advertisement of the Royal
Baking Powder Company which APP
pears elsewhere in this issue of the
News and Observer brings to mind
the fact that Royal Baking Powder
is a household word pretty much the
civilized world over and the article
itself has become a necessity in thou
sands upon thousands of families in
nearly every civilized country. The
success of this splendid preparation
is due to the fact that it is exactly
what it is represented to be-a pure
cream of tartar baking powder. That,
of course, appeals to every housewife.
1t secures a light baking with the
least amount of attention and trouble
1t can be counted upon. But it has
a virtue beyond that--it is absolutely
pure" Royal Baking Powder contains
nothing deleteriOus. 1t can be used
with perfect confidence, and with the
certainty that, SO far as it is con-
cerned, the baking will be thoroughly
wholesome. 1t has been subjected to
the most searching tests, and pro-
nounced free from alum or impurities
or chemical ingredients that are harm
full to the system. 1t is therefore par
ticularly gratifying to consumers of
Royal to know that the baking powder
which they have SO long been accus-
toned to using has invariably gone
through the official analysis not only
without a reflection against it of inn
purity and EMBELLISHMENTS, but each
time more emphatically endorsed as
superior to all the baking powdQ's
on the market.
Aside from the qualities that make
il the most healthful and economical,
the Royal Baking Powder. as every
housewife knows, is always to be re-
lied upon. 1t is one of the greatest
aids she has. She is always able
with the least trouble to make the
very finest biscuits. cakes. mullins and
| crusts. Many d reputation has been
made by the delicious things she has
| been able to make with il. Any Wo-
man has a right to be indignant when
| the grocer sends her another baking
| powder in its place, which spoils hel
! food, Injuries her reputation, and
! brings her blame.

business positions and the professions
require severe training, but it is no
hardship to prepare for a freely

CHRISTMAS AND SANTA CLAUS.
Have Made Their Appearance in Many
Homes Since the Establishment OF
Kirby's Five and Ten
Cent Store.

Although the name Kirby has only
been connected with the business
world of Durham and Raleigh for a
few months, it has already become a
SYNONYM for household necessities
at popular prices and is on every tom
que.
Since the Kirby stores were estab-
lfshed in these communities, they
have brought to the people an oppor-
tunity to purchase desirable goods in
the line of household necessities and
decorative novelties, at prices within
the reach of all.
While these stores were only es-
tablished during the past summer,
they make two of the magnificent
chain of such stores owned by Mr.
Kirby throughout the United States
twenty-nfne in number and located
in thirteen different States. This idea
is Mr. Kirby's and in working it out
he has been enabled to build up bus
mess in the various communities of
such magnitude that he is able to do
all of his own importing and at the
same time use the entire product of
many factories. Buying in this man
ner he is enabled to sell the goods at
prices far reduced.
AS everybody in this community
knows the Durham store is located
at III West Main street while the
Raleigh store is at 226 Fayetteville
street and both are charming places
They have been fitted UP with an eye
to the artistic and at the same time
convenience Goods are so displayed
that purchasers on entering can read
lily see what they desire and save
time.
Twenty years ago Mr.. Kirby was
the owner of novelty store in the
city of Wllkesbarre, Pa, when nc
conceived the idea of establishing
chain of stores. He commenced in a
small way and now his chain is one
of the wonders in the business world.
1t reaches from Peoria, Ills. on the
West, to Providence, f. l., on the
East, from Pittsfield, Mass, on the
North TO New Orleans on the South,
and in every community IN which
store has been established, the name
Kirby is now household word, while
the phrase Nothing over Ten Cents
is equally well known.
Perhaps the Kirby stores have
made an impression in one way more
than another. although there are
those who doubt it. Nevertheless they
have made an impression III q certain

Kings Business College Has Done d
Great Work for This City.

Raleigh's business men have en-
couraged and aided commercial
schools and business colleges without
number, and one year is the longest
life any business college ever had in
this city until j. H. King came to Raj
eigh and established Kings Business
College Mr. King went to work in
the right way. He aided all young
people who were ehdeavoring to bet
ter their condition and were willing
and earnest. The Chamber of Com
merce and leading business men gen
orally endorsed Mr.. Kings college
and success has been attained not only
from a financial standpoint, but as an
institution to aid young men and
young women for life's work.
1t has long been conceded that
Kings Business College is the bset in
stitution of it's character in this State.
1t has fought a good fight and deserves
the support of North Carolinians, and
especially Raleigh's business circle.
The college began with little. 1t is
today thoroughly equipped in every
and has scattered through
out North Carolina towns a thousand
successful graduates who bear test
mony to the good work of president
King.
Kings Business College is conducted
on the fairest possible basis from the
pupils standpoint, and as it's reputa-
ton is established that makes 1t
stronger than ever in the confidence
of the people. Kings Business Col
lege has drawn to Raleigh each year
