Dear DR.. Norris;
In the past few years have been
accustomed 10 listening to your
wonderful discourses in which you
So ably portray to your radio audi
eace and general membership Of
your immediate church.
readily recognize the fact that
your extensive travels have brought
you in contact with all races. creeds
and colors. l feel that a man Of
your intelligence and position IN the
Christian world, imbued with the
knowledge of the principles OF
Jesus Christ and His teachings
should not refer to the Negro race
as you did in your radio address,
November S, 1899. on station WXYZ
at ll:30 am. by using the word
"Nigger." In trying TO portray the
incident of the Haunted House. the
term Niger" was used thrice.
We as American citizens regret
the incident, and further be adj
vised that we will protest the usage
OF the world Niger in your fu-
ture addresses. We take this means
Of registering our resentment 10 you
in pure interest Of the teaching OF
the Maker of Man, and in the fur
therance Of true Americanism.
Yours truly

They know that when their tobacco
is sold in Henderson it brings high
er price, grade for grade, and that
they are guaranteed satisfaction.
After they sell their tobacco in
Henderson, the farmers also realize
that Henderson's merchants are well
equipped to supply their every de-
nand with the highest quality mer-
chandise at fair and reasonable
prices.
Henderson patrons thereby profit
in two ways-first in receiving more
for their tobacco and again because
their money stretches far longer
when passed across the counter to
Henderson merchants.
Expect Greatest Season.
The Warehousemen, the merchants
of Henderson, the buyers every fac
ton in HendersOn-are on their toes
to make this season the greatest that
Henderson has known in seventy
one long years. No facility has been
overlooked, and when the last bas-
ket is auctioned off at the end Of the
1939-4O season, we firmly believe
that Henderson can then add one
more year to it's experience and say
truthfully, "Since 1868-For seventy
two years, Henderson has paid high
er for all grades of tobacco"

Southern Ice
Cream Doing
Big Business

1t is a generally accepted claim
that ice cream is perhaps the ia
vorite delicacy Of the American peo-
pie in the refreshment line, with
millions of gallons sold annually in
this country. In Henderson, one of
the largest manufacturers and dis
tributors of this product is the South
ern Ice Cream Company.
The plant is located in the build
ing at the corner Of South William
street and Turner avenue, where ice
cream has been made and from
which it has been sold and distri-
buted over a period Of a quarter of
a century. It is really ice cream
headquarters in Henderson.
The company is distributor in this
territory for Pine State ice cream
and milk and dairy products in gen.
eral. It has 200 or more dealers IN
the area served from the Henderson
plant, and each of these is equipped
with a frigidaire unit for preserV-
ing stocks and keeping them fresh.
In addition to the dealer outlets,
the company specializes in fancy de-
signs Of ice cream made to order for
particular occasions, such as parties,
receptions and like events for birth
days, anniversaries and weddings.
Melvin B. Finch is manager of the
Henderson plant. He was virtually
raised in the business and is perhaps
as familiar and efficient in the manu-
facture and distribution Of ice cream
as any individual in town. He is an
expert frigidaire repair man, and
does the maintenance work on the
200 or more units in the territory,
which extends in a radius Of fifty
miles out from the city in some di-
rections.
Mrs R. C. Brake is assistant to
the manager and is office manager
and bookkeeper. She became active
in the plant following the death OF
her husband two years ago. Mr.
Brake came to Henderson with
Southern Ice Cream when it entered
the field some years ago, and built
its volume to large proportions. He
| became a very popular young busi-
ness man in the community, and was
active in many civic and social
movements. He guided the company
to a large expansion and a big
volume.
The company maintains modern
and up-tO-date establishment here
and serves a large part of the trade
through its many dealers. Pine State
| ice cream is a general favorite in the
section.

These men, together with A. H.
(Bert) Moore, will also operate the
Planters Warehouse. All Of these
men, too, have long handled the
golden leaf on Henderson warehouse
floors
There have been no definite fore
casts as to probable sales and aver
ages this year, but the general ex-
pectation is that both will far exceed
those of last year. Due to bad grow
ing conditions last year, the market
sold only 19 "a million pounds of
tobacco. This year, most conservative
estimates place the total poundage
for the market at upwards Of 27 to
% million pounds at the usual high
average of the Henderson market.

over last year.
This expected increase is not due
altogether because of better crop
