The woman precedes the man
into their seats in the row, and
the man takes the seat nearest
the aisle. However, there is one
exception to this, the man who
fastidiously holds to the rule of
"the lady always at the right Of
the gentleman" So when a
woman is aware that her COM

takes the seat that will bring
him at her left, and, if necessary,
waits for him to pass her to take
this seat.

its Ambassador to Washington and
other Chinese diplomats in world cap

J. c. PENNEY STORE
IS AMONG LEADERS
Carries Full Line of Mer-
chandise for Outfitting
Whole Family

One of the larger of the j. G.. Pen
ney chain stores in North Carolina
is located in Henderson. The COM
pany entered this field some ten
years ago, and during that time has
attracted large clientele of cusom-
ers by reason of it's offering Of good
merchandise at reasonable prices.
The Penney company is one Of the
older chain department store organi-
cations of the country. It had it's
origin in Kemmerrer, Wyoming, some
Is or 80 years ago, when J. G. Pen
ney opened his first store. His bust
ness methods at once became popu-
lar with patrons and he prospered.
Another store was launched, and then
another and others after that until
today there are more than 1000
stores scattered over the nation, units
being located in nearly every state.
The same policy of offering de-
pendable merchandise at satisfactory
prices dominates the entire system,
and the policy of selling for cash has
permitted the acquisition of stocks at
lowest possible prices, and goods are
passed on to customers with a share
of that saving.
The store carries a full department
store assortment of clothing, shoes,
piece goods, novelties and supplies for
the entire family. Th1 quality of the
merchandise offered has been tested
over period of many years by Gus
toners in all parts Of the nation. The
success that has come to the Penney
company could not have been posi-
BILE without quality behind it's goods
and honesty in its dealings.
The Penney company joins with
other business concerns in Henderson
in viting tobacco and cotton growers
to bring their farm crops to this city
for sale on the local market.
Just now clothing and supplies OF
all kinds for children starting to
school for the fall term are being fea-
tured, and parents are invited to i'm
spect the offerings on display in the

/ When the firm began business 60
years ago it was known as S. and c.
Watkins Company. Later Samuel
Watkins became the head and owner
When the hardware store grew to
such proportions it had to be separat-
ed from the general store, the late
William T. Watkins, son of Samuel
Watkins was placed in charge as
manager. He continued to run the
business until his death, and soon
thereafter the present manager,
Samuel M. Watkins, his son, was
placed in direct charge and control of
The business.
Operation of the store has always
been marked by sane and sound
management. It's guiding personnel
has always been men who held high
places in the life of the community,
and who shared their time and talents
in the upbuilding of the city and
county and have been among the
leading citizens.
Samuel M. Watkins, the present
m anager of the company although
quite a young man, has already as
sumed a position of leadership in the
city and county. He became affiliated
with the hardware store before the
death of his father, and Immediately
after he had finished his education
by graduating from Henderson high
school and attending Davidson Col
lege. The training he received from
his father in the handling of this
large enterprise has been reflected in
the ability and wise management he
has demonstrated in carrying on in a
still larger capacity in his own right.
Two years ago he took fling at To-
cal politics and was elected as a mem
Der of the Vance Board of County
Commissioners, and when that body
organized in December of that year,
he was chosen as chairman of the
board and was reelected last fall. He
has devoted much of his time to a
study of the intricate affairs of coun-
ty government, and in a short time
has acquired knowledge Of county
operations that has fitted him in a
large way for the discharge of the
weighty responsibilities devolving up
On him in that capacity.

Watkins Hardware Firm
In Continuous Service
81 Years In This City
Has Been in Same Family Three Generations: Samuel
M; r., Watkins Is President and Manager; Serves
Thousands of Customer in This TERRITORY

Three score and one years is much
more than the span of the average
mans active producing career, and
many never live a total of that manv
years, and when a business lasts
through so long a period it is some
thing to justify pride on the part Of
the owners as well as of the citv
where it is located. But that is true
Of the Watkins Hardware Company
in Henderson, which this year is cele-
brating its sixty-first anniversary of
continuous operation since its found
ing in 1875. And what is more it has
been in the same family during it's
entire history, and today is in the
third generation of that family.
During it's entire history, the store
has been located either in it's present
quarters or across Wyche street in
the Watkins department store build
ing, where it was originally operated
as a part of that first business.
A full and complete hardware line
and builders supplies is carried in
stock for the trade, and in addition
to the large building that is occupied
at the corner of Breckenridge and
Wyche streets, also owns large stor-
