Now is the time Of year for land
lords to be thinking about who will

ing to Ivey w. Day, supervisor for
the Farm Security Administration in
Vance county.
There are a number Of reasons
why d tenant, il he has been salts

he may continue on the farm another
year OF even longer. Mr.. Day said
Not the least rea:On is that if the
tenant knows he will farm the same
place next year it is likely that he
will plan for cover crops, or make
other constructive plans Tor next
year, in time for them to be cffec-
tive"
Because Of the excessive cost OF
annual moving 10 both tenants and

Parker One
OF Oldest
Drug Firms

Policies of modern merchandising
and courteous and careful attention
to the demands of customers were
laid down in 1889 by the late w. w.
Parker as the foundation for the drug
store which he opened at that time,
and these basic principles have been
the guiding star OF the business for
81 years. w. w. Parker, Jr., now
carries on the tradition established
by his father in Parker's Drug Store,
one of the oldest business establish
mentS in Henderson.
Parker'S Drug Store is the ReXall
store in Henderson, offering the IA
NOUS line of drugs and sundries mcr-
chandised under the RcXaN name, us
well as full selection OF all other
standard items usually found i'll a
modern drug store.
Throughout its history ParKer's has
taken UNSUITABLE pride in the pre-
Scription department. and this es-
scntial service has been featured in
operation of the store. Only the
purcst and freshest drugs are used in
compromising Of prescriptions, which
arc filled by registered pharmacists.
Nh. Parker says that the average
person seldom pauScS 10 think that
the pharmacist who fills prcscrip-
ton is as important in his position
as the physician who prescribes the
medicine. Should the pharmacist
through ignorance or carelessness
make an error in carrying out the
physicians directions, the medicine
might fail 10 SelNC its purpOSC an0

might even endangcr the life of the
person for whom it was prescribed.
For this reason every prccaution is
taken in the filling Of prescriptions at
Parker'S.
Parker's fountain service is one
of the popular features Of the store,
and the excellence of the standards
maintained in this department at
tracts crowds Of customers who makv
it a habit to drop in at the store re-
gularly for a dope or ice cream
concoctiOn.
Mr.. Parker, realizing the import
ance of courteous and prompt serv-
ice. has selected the staff of en-
ployees for his store with the great
est care, training them painstakngly
that they may be thoroughly fam
liar with the store and its stocks anC
that they may be on the alert at al
times to give the highest type Of SER
vice. Mr.. Parker himself devotes his
full time and attention TO the store

its activities and giving personal at
tention to much of the detail OF the
