BLACKS S & 1Oc STORE
Operated by R. B. Black & Sons.
Safety Pins to Magazines.

When the 5 and 10c stores were first
introduced to the trading public, they
were looked upon more as Cheap John"
establishments than otherwise, and
patronized by that class known in Europe
as the peasantry. But not so in this day
and time. Shrewd buyers in every walk
of life, have learned from experience
that they can get more for their money
when shopping at one of these stores
than at most mercantile establishments
For this reason they have become verita.
Bile benefactors to the human family of
today. The, stock is always so varied
that there is scarcely an article that any
one could desire but what it can be
found at the up-to-date S and 10c store.
Rockingham has most complete store

fers to Blacks modern and 10c store,
of which R. B. Black and Sons are pro-

cry, hardware, toys of every description,
laces and embroideries, jewelry, glassware,
general line of notions, magazines,
office supplies, and the largest line OF
dolls ever before carried by the house.
1t will surprise you, if you are not a
patron of this store, to see how far a
dollar will go when spent in merchandise
here. And there is nothing shoddy, or
cheap in quality about the goods, but
everything high-class and worth, inmany
cases, two and three times what you ac-
tually pay for them.
Try Blacks store and be convinced
that your dollar spent here has double
buying power. 1t is always a pleasure
for Mr.. Black to serve his customers, and
his large business has been built up on
the lines Of reliability, dependable mer-
chandise and courteous treatment.

out most forcibly by the healthfui condi-
ton, splendid management and wonder

Savings Bank, the only savings bank in
the county; and that it is proving of inval-
liable benefit to the citizens of this COM
munity is not to be gainsayed, for the
large number who have opened accounts
in this bank will fully bear out the truth
of this statement. An institution of this
character may rightly be regarded as a
benefactor, for it not only offers the public
a safe depository for their funds, but its
mission is to encourage the habit of saw
ing, and people from every walk of life
make up it's long list of depositors. Per-
sistency should be used in teaching chill
dren to save, thereby making useful citi-
zens of them instead of spend thrifts and
dependents upon others. 1t is the opin-
ion of the officers of this bank that it is
lust as necessary to teach the child to
save as it is to read and write, and with
this idea in view it has been their aim to
encourage thrift, and that the mission OF
the bank has borne fruit is evidenced by
its steadily increasing business from
month to month. Truly such an institu'
ton as the Richmond County Savings
Bank is not only credit to the commun'
ity but real asset as well.
The capital of this bank is $4,000
surplus $4,000. Four per cent interest
compounded quarterly, is paid on time
deposits. 1t is an institution that in
spires confidence in the public and at
tracts the patronage of citizens, both
young and old, for not alone is the larger
investor offered medium of saving, but
the small wage Garner, who desires to
lay aside for the "rainy day" that comes
to most of us at some stage in our lives,
A Christmas Club is also conducted.
The responsibility of this bank is indi.
Gated by the names of its officers and di.
rectors, men who are prominent in their

THINKING OF DYING?
Oh, No; But if You Unfortunately
Should, Wouldn't You Want a Re.
hinder Over Your Grave?

The placing of memorial hallowing
the last resting place of those who have
gone before us, is truly beautiful Gus
tom, signifying as it does the love and
respect we hold for the departed. 1t is
fitting that a memorial be raised that will
forever mark the spot where temporal
life ended and spiritual life began; that
it will indicate now and for years to
come, the place where their remains lie.
and to warn those in life to honor and
respect the spot. The unmarked graves
are oft'times desecrated for the lack of a,
stone, and their sacredness is thereby
unobserved and identity lost.
The Rockingham Marble Works, Of
which o. w. Dostes is proprietor, dealer
in monuments and tombstones as well as
being cut stone constructor, is prepared
to supply those who wish to erect shaft
of remembrance at most reasonable
cost. Any design, style or specimen can
be supplied by Mr.. Doster. His associa-
ton with the quarries and wholesale
dealers is such as to guarantee customers
the closest prices on all work. Experien-
! ced designers are employed, and they
tlke pains in creating designs for those
who want something a little different
The most improved methods are used,
the latest pneumatic devices installed.
Inspecting the handsome stock will
place you under no obligations to buy un-
less you are satisfied and ready to place
your order. This is one of the most re-
liable enterprises in the town and the
only one of the kind in the county, and
every representation made you by Mr..
Doster can be depended ON, while his
courteous and accommodating methods
have been factors in the success of his
business. Those who patronize this con-
Germ not only save freight charges and
agents commission, but they make their
own selection from the large stock carri-
ed. Jobs are not sold by photographs, or
simple representations but by the speci-
men itself. The Rockingham Marble
Works is recommended to Post-Dispatch
readers.

McRAE GROCERY co.
Enterprisins Wholesale Company. Is.
tabIished 1912. 7. L. McRae
Manager.

The enterprises of Rockingham have
no more important representation than in
the McRae Grocery Co., wholesale grocers,
of which T. L. McRae is manager.
Since the establishment or this house in
1912 it has steadily grown, until today
it ranks second to none in the superior
grade of goods handled and its reliability
as an enterprise.
An establishment of this character is
credit to any community, and this one
not only gives Rockingham the distinc-
ton of being its home, but it also means
the keeping in this locality many thous-
ands of dollars that otherwise would find
their way to distant markets. The trade
for miles around is supplied with goods
by this house, such as groceries of all
kinds, staple and fancy, meats, lard, flour,
meal, cigars, cigarettes, etc.
Statesmen are employed the year round
to visit the trade, and as evidence of the
appreciation in which the company is
held by its many customers and the mer-
chants generally throughout this section
they favor it with a large share of their
orders which shows the confidence that
is placed in the firm and its efficient
management. There is not more pro-
gressive nor enterprising concern in the
State than this one, and every favor and
courtesy possible is extended patrons, as
Mr.. McRae feels that the interests of his
customers are HIS interests and he exerts
every effort to serve them faithfully, salts,
factorily and promptly.
Mr.. McRae is one of the most ex
perienced business men in the country
and is thoroughly familiar with every
detail of the large business already estab
lished. He has the interest of the towr
and community at heart and is ready al
all times TODD his share towar I'd promoting

Steele. Good Repairing And
The Home Of The Hudson.

1t is most important matter with the
auto owners to place their cars in com.
petent hands----with men you know to be
responsible and capable ---for there are
numerous repair shops and garages in

ceives the care and attention that it de
serves. There is no car whose mechan
ism is not familiar to the mechanics o

This is the sales agency for the Hud
son, the car that is at home in the bes
of company, and one about which to-
much cannot be said, for it Is truly al
accomplishment to build at fair pric'
an automobile so slightly as to upholt
the owners honest pride, so competen
as to arouse his utmost respect, so relia
Bile as to win his deepest confidence AM
so economical as to serve his highest in
terests. Judge it from every angle AM
you see power, comfort, fiexibility ant
convenience, a combination of goo'
points not surpassed by any other ma
chine. When better cars are built, MI
Steele will handle them. Deliveries car
be made on almost any model of tn
Hudson, but there is no telling how lont
this will continue; SO, you had bette
order yours without further delay. MIR
Steele's numerous patrons can testify t.
his reliability and straightforward bust
ness dealings.
