RECEIPTS
INCREASE 50 PERCENT

Is Hendersonville growing?
Is it growing faster in proper
tion to its present population than
any other town in Western North
Carolina not excepting it most
promising suburb of Asheville?
Ask Brownlow Jackson-Post-
master Brownlow Jackson, and
watch that smile when he gently
mentions the fact that the re-
ceipts of the local postofice for
November show an increase of
thirty-two and two-thirds per
cent over the receipts for Nov
ember 1908!
Let that fact sink slowly into
your inner consciousness.
Study over it. Talk about it.
Tell your friends-Postofice re-
ceipts increased nearly 33 per
cent-that's going some, sure!
The increase in the Asheville
office, as given in the Citizen, is a
little over q per cent for the
same period-which is a very
good showing, very good indeed
for Asheville.
