honor and respect of those who
sat in her classes, and those whom
have in other ways known her.
"Those qualities that she pos
sesses-friendliness, personality,
understanding, originality-make
her the idol of all. Although some
times, some do not show direct
appreciation toward her, it is OBJ
vious that she Yields the prestige
and esteem of everyone.
Therefore, it is with these ele-
waited characteristics and qualifi-
cations in mind that prompt US in

Economic Gains Reflected

Retails sales in Noble county have reached unusual
proportions according to partial results of the Census
Bureaus Of retail business which released in
Washington last week.
Retail sales very important for they reflect the
purchasing of Noble Countans and give picture
of business conditions in this community
Last Saturday, the stores in Caldwell crowded
for the final day before Christmas and in many respects it
the best Christmas buying for the merchants
Yet there certain merchants who will that business
very poor and cry the blues long any will listen
But the of retail business tells very different
story From 948 to 1854 the sales have increased in the
district from $l55,0l4,000 to $l9O,634 900.
This is increase of % percent The state increase III
business 1913 percent which also the national average
But look what happened in Noble county. The spec
tacuar increase listed at 63 percent in retail sales
volume
All counties experienced increase i'll annual
payros but the in Noble county the highest for
the district.
1t listed at 89.5 percent, almost unheard Of
increase for the baby county of the state.
In hard cold figures, the annual payroll amounted in
1948 to $128 million compared to $l8 million in 1854
Noble county led with the highest increase followed by
Monroe county with 573 percent and Washington county
with 6518 percent.
In Noble county this be largely attributed to the
payroll of the Caldwell plant Cleveland Graphite Bronze
company plus increased payrols of other plants already
located in the community.
These figures certainly encouraging and in every
respect reflect the economic growth of the community
wherein live and work
