Many interior decorators took in
depression slack by decorating bars.
In the new order of decor every
bar must be distinctive to attract
trade. FL Morocco hit high note
with its zebra striped divanS and
the Stork Club with its pink and
black tones. The artist who has
decorated most of the fancy bars is
Vernon MacFarlane. A survey shows
that lighting effects which have
been the most flattering to women
have resulted in the greatest sue
cess. Bars used to strive for appeal
solely to masculinity-but things
changs. Mercy Sakes Alive, how
they change!

Jones, Expresses Greet
ings of Group
BY REV. JAS. A. JONES,


Henderson is proud, and justly, of
the record it has made and which it
maintains as a market for this Sec
ton of North Carolina and Virginia.
Such a record is conditioned upon
service rendered to those who pro-
duce raw materials in this and ad-
joining counties. Having built a mar
ket is an evidence, therefore, of SER
vice rendered to those who bring their
produce to Henderson.
This is a service that the citizens
as well as the business men of Hen
derson and Vance county are happy
to render. We are confident that if
the place Of prominence is maintained
our service will have to be continued
and enhanced.
We offer, therefore, to all who wish
to buy or sell or bank or live in Hen
derson a most cordial and a sincre in
vitation to avail themselves of the
facilities that are offered.
We are confident that no tobacco
market nor cotton market has ADLER
men to assure to those who sell the
highest prices. We are likewise con-
fident that there is no market in this
section of the State that welcomes
your presence with any more sin
cerity or cordially.
The Rotary CLUB of Henderson is
a Fellowship of business. and profess
sional men united in the ideal of SER
vice." It is our earnest ambition to
render to the people of Henderson
and this vicinity, and to the visitors
who use the facilities Henderson Of
fers as a market, every particl of SER
vice within our capacity.
And you will find this true not only
of the Rotary club but of all civic or
CARNATIONS and of the whole citizenry
of Henderson.
Therefore, in behalf of the Hen
derson Rotary Club, l most cordially
and sincerely invite you to use the
markets of Henderson, being assured
that you will be satisfied.

As has been proven in the past, this

market for tobacco. Only the highest
averages paid will support such
claim and the record marks Hender-

Greater warehouse facilities than
ever before, together with larger ware
house forces, mark the activity OF
warehousemen in preparation for fall.
They are determined to give quickest
service, and the best in efficient handl-
ing of tobacco. They have added
more men in order that this may be
accomplished.
Cotton gins have been kept up-to-
date in modern equipment in order
that every possible saving may be eff
fected. Modernized ginning facilities,
coupled with most efficient operation
and management, enable the manage
ment to pay highest prices for seed
cotton.
Merchants, auto dealers, and all
service units have made plans for
most advantageous merchandising
program. New equipment and mod
ern Improvement in stores, together
with greatly increased stocks of mer-
chandise, are a feature in this pro-
gram.
There have been new establishments

American, Legion Post Is
Keeping Step In Progress
Has Just Completed and DC cupied Hut on South Gar
nett Street and Formal 0 pending Is To Be Held;
Post and Auxiliary Are Very Active

The year now drawing to a close
marks, in a sense, the best year Hen
derson Post, No. go, of the American
Legion, has ever experienced. It has
seen the post come into possession
of hut of it's own, a goal to which
the members have looked for many
years.
Through a lease arrangement with
the Southern Railway Company, the
post has acquired the old passenger
station of that railroad at the corner
and has just spent upwards of $4,000
in remodeling and undermining the
structure for it's own uses.
A brick veneer wall has been built
around the exterior, and the interior
has been made over into a large as
sembly hall, which can also be used
for club rooms, and with kitchin,
an office and rest rooms adjacent.
New floors have been laid, the interior
has been reprinted and entirely done
over to suit the needs of the post for
adequate quarters as a meeting place.
In the future it is planned to hold
regular meetings of the post in the
hut Relics Of war days and photo
graphs of many kinds pertaining to
the history of the post and war re-
cords of individual members will
adorn the walls, as well as insignia
and other similar decorations.
A large field gun has been donated
to the post by the War Department
and was received only a few weeks
ago. and has been mounted on the
Spring street front OF the building. Ii

On behalf of the Henderson Lions
Club, youngest of the business mems
civic clubs of the city, I am happy to
give expression to the sentiment of
these live, progressive citizens in a
sincere and hearty wish for the sue
cess of the coming tobacco and cot
ton marketing season in our COM
munity.
One of the detectives of our or
ganizatiOn is to work for whatever
worthy enterprises make for the up
building of the city and the general
welfare and happiness of it's people,
and when thousands of farmers and
their families come here to sell their
crops and to do their fall buying, it
creates prosperity for them and for
us, and a benefit results that is
mutual all around.
We are believers in and workers
for Henderson and Vance county. Our
weekly meetings brings together a
group of alert, progressive and en-
thusiastic merchants, service and
professional men, whose rubbing of
elbows gives them more intimate
and friendly contact with each other
and a better understanding of their
own and the community's problems
and purposes. This makes it possible
for us to go forward with aggressive
movements whose detectives are the
building of a bigger and a better city
and county.
