A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Pussy Willow.

Pussy Willow.
Pussies so silky and soft and gray,
AS you drop your spiky willow
I'd like to gather you up one day
To make me pussy pillow.
Not a cushion of down but OF your
smooth fur
Would WOO me to happy sleeping,
To dreams of a pussy's tranquil purr,
OF soft wind thru willows sweeping;
OF emerald grasses wet with dew,
OF gently plashing billow-
All this you'd give to sleep; for you.
Ark Springs dream, Pussy Willow.

LOCAL STORE BRANCH
OF DURHAM STORE 81
ESTABLISHED SO
YEARS AGO

The Durham Christian-Harward
Furniture Store was established in the
small building on main street SO years
ago and has kept pace with the pro-
gress and wealth of the city Of Dur
ham and is now known as one of
Cardinals greatest furniture a5tao
lishments. The progressive ideals of
the Christian-Harward stores have ex-
banded this organization to three well
known stores in Durham. Nationally
known merchandise at fair prices and
the belief in the financial stability
of the customers that, we serve, has
caused the Christian-Harward Fur
niture Company to grow in leaps and
bounds since their establishment.
A mutual loyalty between the firm
and employees have long been credit
ed with the success of the operations
of the ChristianHarward store. In
talking with these employedj one
gathers that each feels that it is his
own store and the scores of CUSTOM
ers and friends of the organization
are their personal friends.

The new Observation-Disclosures Fur
niture Store welcomes the credit pur-
chasers and invites them to avail
themselves of the Budget Elan ser
vices which this company has long
had in existence. Buying on credit is
a modern and approved nethod. In
furnishing an attractive home it is
a wise and sensible procedure which
may we'll be said to have the endorse
ment of the United States govern
ment, since it is possible under the
government to secure loans for many
home Improvement purposes. Chris
tian-Harward believes in this modern
way of merchandising and selecting
home furnishings on the Budget Plan.
Credit is the most precious asset in
the business world. The customers
who have established and maintained
a good credit rating are always well
come at Chnstian-Harward's store.
AS a special feature of the opening,
special credit terms are made avail
able with very small down payments
and attractive weekly or monthly bud
get payments. Thousands of dollars
worth of fine new furniture in various
periods in quality and construction
have been purchased especially for
the opening of the new store.

Fl. w. Kimbrell, president of Chris
Nan-IIarward stores states, Il have
long thought of Henderson as a wide
awake city and one Of the greater
Carolina market areas for a higher
type of furniture, and with this
thought in mind plans for the new
branch store were laid. Christian
Harvard has always served the people
CT the Henderson area from the Dur
ham store and has found their ap-
probation of greater comforts and
beauty afforded by attractive furn-
iture, to be most gratifying. 1--WE plan
to offer in our new Henderson store
all of the advantages of the large city
stores" says Mr.. Kimbrell.
Mr.. Kimbrell entered the furniture
industry in 1923 in Columbia. S. c..
where he opened a small furniture
company and later branched to adj
ditional stores in Spartanburg, S. c.
This company was eventually sold to
another organization and Mr.. Kim
brell came to Durham to take over
the interest and become president of
Christian-Harward Company in 1928
Since that time under his direction
this company has flourished and has
established three branch stores now
serving a great portion of the pOpula-
ton of Eastern Carolina.
