Get Out Of the Rut

This interview will be an i'm
spiration. 1t will give you new
viewpoints wake you up = put
you on your nettle.
1t will bring you new light =
point out some mistakes - reveal
money-making methods which
perhaps you don't dream of. Again
and again, one interview of this
kind has changed the whole course
of business.
1t gets men out Of ruts, excites
new ambitions-this contact with
men who live their lives where big
things are being done.
This hour will involve no obi
CATION. Our expert will expect
from you nothing whatever. He
will not assume that you have in
mind any change in agency re-
lations.
His sole object will be to give
you an insight to Lord & Thomas
service. To help you judge what
this service might mean to you.
All in the hope that you may
sometime feel that service like
this is essential.
We meet many business men
every month in this way. Only
part of them ever employ us.
But not one, we believe, has ever
felt that the hour was not we'll
spent. And many a man has
been shown way to multiply his
sales.

Our New Hospital.

The brick venere work on the new
hospital issrapidIy nearing completion
and the roof will be placed within the
next few days. This is very encourag-
ing news TO the people OF this com
munity who look forward with pleasure
to the f1nishing of this new enterprise
for the eify. The hospital will be
ready before the summer season is
opened.
The directors of the hospital are be-
ginning to meet with difficulty for the
lack of funds to carry on the work
pledges made over one year ago have
not all paid in and the directors will
make strenent efforts to collect in the
near future. 1t is hoped that there
will be nusdelay on the part of those
who so willingly subscribed to this
cause.

arly pleasing my Little Doggie'' a
song by Elizabeth Feaman was sweetly
sung in unusually clear child tones.
Also "The Lullabye Song" by little
Dixie GULL brought forth unusual ap-
plAuse.
This tiny singer with dolly in arms
surrounded by six little class mates
with dollies joined the Rock-S bye

and graceful motions. Recitations ad-
mirably rendered were those by Boyce

SIGHTSEEING TRIP .
Local People Visit Principal Cities of
America.

Hendersonville was well advertised
in the city of Washington last week.
AT several of the leading hotels and in
the railroad stations was placed
quantity of Hendersonville booklets.
Messrs: G. e. Brooks, Gordon CARING
ton, G. M. Glazener, Press Gallamore,
M. L. Shipman, S. Y. Bryson, v. G. v.
Shepherd, DR.. Guy E. Dixon and many
other local people were in the city
during the Inauguration and they nev-
er missed an opportunity in talking of
hendersonville bud" Glazener on his
way to Washington handed out many
of the. booklets TO passengers who
took them home to read. Bud has
almost national reputation as the
man who 'cuts the price" and during
his visit to Baltimore gave booklets to
prominent wholesale house men who
were eager to read about Henderson
vile, the resort town Of Western North
Carolina In fact the booklets gave
out too soon. Several asked for them
after they had been exhausted and Mr.
Brooks. who was in the party-eager
to help Hendersonville, took their
names and addresses SO that booklets
could be mailed to them on his return
home.
The Hendersonville delegation was
shown every courtesy by Congressman
j. M. Gudger, Jr., in Washington, and
his Office was made headquarters dur
ing the inauguration for the local
people.
Messrs. S. Y. Bryson and A. P. Gal
lamore left Washington Tuesday night
for New York where they visited an
uncle of Mr., Bryson's. They remain
ed in the metropolis several days TAX
ing in the sights. Messrs. Glazener
Brooks and Darlington left Washing
ton Wednesday for Baltimore, where
they remained two days. Mr.. Glazen-
er spent most of the time on business
while the other two gentlemen spent
their time sightseeing.
In Philadelphia the local sightseers
spent a day and half visiting the
historical places of interest includ-
ing the Hall of Independence and the
home of William Penn. From the top
OF the North American, big daily news
paper building the visitors could see
the city in grand panorama.
A visit was paid to the First Nation
al Bank of Philadelphia by Messrs.
Brooks and Darlington where they met
Mr.. w. A. Law. First vice president of
the bank and a personal friend of Mr.
GarHngton's. Mr.. Law showed the
gentlemen over the mamoth bank build
ing in which is one of the leading Ma
tional banks of America. 1t is of also
or interest to know that Mr.. Law is
closely identified and director of the
Manufacturers Power company of this
section which contemplates making
tremendous improvements here soon.
Mr. Law said that he felt sure his COM
pany would spend thousands of dollars
in the city of Hendersonville and that
no one of the stockholders was any
more anxious that they begin work
than he was. He has been in Hender-
sonville several times.
In New York the Hendersonvillians
made a tour of inspections and covered
the principals points of interest in
short while. Stopping at distinctive
ly southern hotel, eating at the nearest
restaurant not much time was lost in
the rapid sightseeing trip.
