The nails are coated by shaking them
up in hot tumbling barrel with a
compound consisting mainly of resin,
from which they issue with a thin,
tough coating which greatly increases
their holding power. The friction Of
the driven nail with the wood melts
the cement and forms glue, which

REPUTATION

Recently a representative of one Of
the large Life Insurance companies
was in Scotland Neck on business IN
connection with his Company's at
fairs and he remarked that in the SIX
hours h ewas here he had met a larg-
er number Of Intelligent, educated,
square, straight forward, honest spok-
en- men than he had ever met Ill a
town this size before.
Such an impression created upon a
stranger is what makes the reputation
of community, and what makes a
real home town, one worth living IN
and bringing up ones children IN.
That is town character. It is such
things as that which are real assets,
not necessarily material things
Guard the reputation Of your town,
for each individual makes or mars
that reputation.
