THE BEST MONTH EVER

"The month of April, 1919, was the
very best month of any year since we
have been in business" said Alex W.
Keith of the Hendersonville Whole
sale Grocery company.
1--WE sold more goods during that
month than during any summer
month previously, when the business
is supposed to be at it's best. There
must be more people here now than
we think. Certainly one gets that
impression from the activity seen
everywhere and that impression, so
far as am concerned, is backed up
by the figures have just given you.
This is going to be the greatest
season we have ever had and it's
starting in a month earlier than
usual, too"

THE HOTEL KITCHEN

ga modern hotel Kitchen" says E.
P. Wooten, of the Carolina Terrace
and the Kentucky Home, ''is some
different from the old style rooms
where the guests food was prepared. I"
Certainly the kitchen of the Ken
lucky Home is different. It's one OF
the quietest places in the big building
and spot on the floor is counted as a
deadly sin. The old familiar clatter
and crash of crockery is noticeable
by its absence. An electrically driven
apparatus of imposing proportions
cleanses the dishes as the most care
full bathing by hand failed to do. The
many employees in white uniforms
and the air filled with a quite irresis-
table perfume, the atmosphere of
quiet efficiency and order, makes the
hotel kitchen a pleasant place and one
well worth a visit.
