shared by those who can compare
the present appearance with that of
only few years ago.
Progress is contagious. The chain
of events that create the desire to
modernize store buildings pay large
dividends in the long run.
People like to shop in comfort.
Tabor City's reputation as an out
standing shopping center has con-
tinually brought new faces here from
within the trade area. We can expect
to see more and more with SO many
added conveniences being offered in
the various stores.
It's nice to shop in a town that has
active and progressive merchants.

Somewhere in between? Well.
that's the average span Of life
for an un;reated fence post in
Eastern North Carolina.
Now, what about this "too

fence post treated with 'Penta"
or creosote will last from Is

Andersen emphasizes.
If you have to replace your
posts every two years, that

LINDA IS LOADED WITH LETTERS

-. lhurSon Rogers uncle of Linda Williamson, the
little girl all dressed in plaster of paris from head
to toes, passed along the word that the recent pub
hcIty given Linda brought letters from all over
Many of the writers had undergone a similar
operation and offered her words of encouragement
Proves that the world Sin't so cruel after all
Some people still think enough of others to sit down
and drop cheerful note to those confined
Course the word confined" is used loosely Linda

caught there.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10 (P.-
All that fancied-up glassware in
the ads and in the shop windows
can be traced straight to costly
competition in one of the most
competitive of all businesses.
And some companies wish they'd
never started it.
1t stems from this: Americans
annually give each other some
100 million bottles of Liquor
most Of it around this time Of
year. Since that's no small mar
ket, distillers go after those
sales vigorously to the delight of
the glass. carton and wrapping
paper industries.
This year the splurge on de-
canters and fancy trappings is
at a new height. They're fancier,
more imaginative, costlier. And

Cash Dividends
.Show6.5% Gain

Cash dividend payments by
corporations publishing reports
totaled $314.5 million last month,
up $50 million or SIS per cent
from November. 1855, the Com
merce Department reported to-
day.
For the first IL months divi-
dend payments totaled $9,038.-
100000. This was 81 billion OF
about 12.5 per cent, above the
same period last year.
Nearly every industry group
showed improvement. the de-
partment's Office of Business
Economics said. The biggest rel
ative gains we're scored by auto
mobile and nonferrous metal
companies, averaging about 80
per cent. Most other manufac-
turing groups showed gains OF
10 to 20 per cent.
