times. You demonstrate the car to yourself,
you drive it out over the country roads or
wherever you choose. You return to the store
where there's a clerk on duty who can appraise
your used car, if you have one, figure your
deal for you give you credit for the saesmans
commission and the transaction is closed.
Here, at last, is an automobile sales or
ganization where one can browse around, look
over the cars, drive the different models and
be absolutely certain that no automobile sales
man will poster them in the event they do not
choose to buy at the moment.
The Inland Motor Company is particular

that it will be to your advantage to contact
them at once.
Remember your used car will be taken in
at its fair value. You demonstrate the car to
yourself, and you save from $4,000 to $4,000 by
buying your car from this organization, which
is headed by Mr.. Cross who has been in busi-

years. f'@ @@F

W. ]. FLATHER,
BANKER, DIES

William J. Flather, a senior vice
president Of the Riggs National
Bank, died in Emergency Hospital
this morning. He was 76 years
Of age and had served the bank
for SO years. He entered the hos
pital a week ago suffering a
severe attack Of pneumonia. His
condition became critical yester-
day.
The fatal illness struck Mr..
Flather suddenly on February 20.
He was at his desk during the
morning, apparently enjoying 70.
bust health. When he did not
return from luncheon, fellow Off.
GERS inquired for him at the Cos.
mos Club, where he had been
living. He complained Of conges.
tion in the chest. Rushed to
Emergency Hospital, he was given
oxygen treatment, but failed to
rally.
Like Charles c. Glover, banking
dean, who died the day Mr.. FIather
entered the hospital, the latter
long was an influential figure in
the Washington business and
financial circles. He joined the
old firm of Riggs and Company in
February, 1877, as a messenger.
He had been an active vice presi-
dent of Riggs National Bank since
1908. He was born in Baltimore,
May 7, 1859.
Mr.. Flather is survived by one
son, William j. Flather, jr., who
is widely known in local real estate
circles. and by four brothers, Colin
E. E., John A., Henry H., Edwin D.,
and a sister, Mrs. George H. Felt;

Nearly so individuals we're de-
prived of their driving permits or
license tags, and eight were placed
on police blacklist, in actions
taken by the Division of Financial
Responsibility of the Traffic Bu-
reau during the past month.
The suspensions and blacklist
ings are connected with the new
financial responsibility law, under
which motorists convicted of driv-
ing while intoxicated and other
offenses, or who fail to settle when
ordered by the courts to pay dam
ages arising out of automobile acci-

when persons deprived Of permits

An outbreak Of scarlet fever in

School, in Fairfax County near

Gallinger Hospital, and is confin-
ing three others to the school in
Urinary under a quarantine. A
half dozen members of the school
faculty also are confined to the
school grounds.
Those in the infirmary at the
school were said to be held for
observation and that it was not
yet determined whether they had
contracted the disease.
Nearly 200 other girls enrolled
in the school were sent to their
homes in more than IS States for
Today leave, pending the out
come of the three cases under
observation.
Closing Not Ordered
Closing of the school, according
to Miss Sarah G. Spalding, as.
siStant head mistress, was taken
entirely as precau utionar
measure and was not ordered by
any authorities other than those
at the school.
The quarantine, Miss Spalding
added, was ordered by school au.

self. All that ice and snow which

January averaged 4 degrees colder
daily than Washington'S longtime
normal for that month, with Feb
ruary 8 degrees colder every day.
During the same so days there
was a precipitation Of rain and
snow piled up to an excess Of 1.88

253 degrees of excess cold together,

GEOGRAPHIC POINT
IN FOUR COUNTIES
Vance, Granville, Warren,
and Franklin Center Here;
Offers Countless Advant-
ages as Distributing Focus
To Reach Large Segment
of Populace

Comparatively few cities and towns
in North Carolina are quite so ideally
located as Henderson for the building
of a great marketing and trading
center. The city is geographically
situated in the center of a rich farm
ing area, and almost exactly in the
center of four-county grouping of
North Cardinals people that is
scarcely equalled in precisely the
same manner.
A compilation made on the basis
of the official 1880 government census
shows that more than 10000 people
live within a. radius of thirty miles
of Henderson. And Henderson is the
largest city within that radius. It has
greater facilities for meeting the need
of a large population than any other
community in the area.
While Franklin Granville and War
rem counties are units unto them
selves and are among the best coun
ties of the State and have within
their bounds some of the finest peo-
pie in North Carolina, they are situat-
ed on the boundaries of Vance county
in a manner that makes Henderson
almost the exact geographic center Of
the territory. Included in the area,
also, is a section just over the State
line in Virginia from which Hender-
son draws considerable business.
There is no city or town the size of
Henderson to the north until Peters
burg is reached, and that is some 80
miles away.
This city therefore, affords to
wholesale distributors an ideal loca-
ton for their activities. And the re-
suit is that Henderson has many con-
Germs of that type. They have located
here with the idea in view of serving
retail outlets in adjacent territory,
and have found it greatly to their ad-
vantage to do so. Economy in opera
ton is readily recognized, both be-
cause of the proximity to so large a
populace and because of the ease with
which that territory can be reached.
Good roads, rail and truck facilities
and the speed Of motor traffic for
statesmen all serve to the advantage or
the distributor.
Conversely, these things are like

has to offer to the shopper and those

One of the advantages Henderson
has to offer it's friends from the out
side, and which is not enjoyed by
every community, is the fact that it
is so easily accessible. 1t is approach
able by a system of good roads, either
paved or otherwise improved that
reach out into almost every direction
From five different directions the
city can be entered over roads that
are hard-surfaced, And with one or
two exceptions, the other avenues of
travel into town are of tar and gravel
3urfacing.
Since these facilities have been pro-
vided the Henderson tobacco and cot
ton markets have grown by leaps and
bounds and have come to he highly

Farmers To Sell and
Trade Here
SOME ADVANTAGES
OFFERED BY CITY
High Prices Paid for To-
bacco and Cotton and
Other Farm Products and
Great Variety of Mercan-
tile Establishments At
ford Trade Opportunities

Business men of Henderson this
year as perhaps never before are
backing the tobacco and cotton mar
kets of this city to the end that they
may reach new heights in poundage
sold and in profits realized by grow
ers from their products.
With a successful experience in
1885 in a campaign in behalf of the
local markets, the merchants and
professional men saw the wisdom Of
such a campaign and were already
sold" on the idea when it came to
repeating this year, even on a larger
scale. 1t was easy to obtain pledges
for the amount of cash sought to
put on a market drive that has never
before been equalled in this city.
Cash raised this summer was OBJ
tanned in only a little more than
week of effort. Nearly every one was
willing to accept share in the cost,
feeling that the outlay was an in
vestment, not a donation. It proved
that way last year, and there is every
reason to believe it will be again in
1936-37. The Tobacco Board of Trade
challenged the merchants and profess
sional men to plank down dollar for
dollar for the promotion fund. The
business community gladly and quick
ly accepted. And they not only went
over the top in meeting the tobacco
men half way, they raised about one
third more than their quota.
Leaders Of the campaign saw in this
result a fast growing faith in Hen
derson and it's institutions and it's OPP

LARGE FACILITIES
IN TRANSPORTATION
City Served by Two Rail-
roads, Bus Lines and
Trucking Service

Transportation facilities enjoyed by
Henderson have for years been one of
it's greatest asserts, and there never
was a time when these worked to
greater convenience for patrons than
today.
The city is served by two railroads,
the Seaboard Air Line and the South
ern, and by trucking interests and
fast bus lines. There is every facility
for travel and for shipment of mer-
chandise and at moderate costs. These
advantages combine to make the city
an admirable location for business in
terests as well as place of residence.
Henderson is located on the main
line of the Seaboard, five hours from
Washington and ten hours from New
York, both of which may be reached
without change of cars, and with the
finest and most luxurious of travel
facilities provided. This main line al
so offers direct travel to points in
Florida and to Atlanta and cities of
the inland South. There is, too, album
dant transportation to local points
The Seaboard also offers equally as
