Tourist Trade Now
IN earing iyZ9 Level t
Washington, Oct. 1.?The tourist
trade in the United States was reported
by the Commerce Department
to have almost reached the 1929
; level.
Noting ' consistent progress" in
retail and wholesale trade in the
! week ended Wednesday, the depart .
ment devoted most of its weekly
| business survey of 33 cities to a summary
of tourist activities.
"An interesting feature of the rcj
port," the survey said, "was the revelation
that during the summer season
just ended tourist activities have
returned to proportions comparable
to 1930 and 1931. and, in some cases,
to 1929. These conditions prevail in
steamship, railroad, airplane, and bus
j lines as well as in travel by private
; ears."
Transatlantic passenger traffic
was 25 per cent, greater in the last
four months than last year, with the
largest volume since the summer of
1929. Air-line passenger travel "was
t* i pe&k never before reached in the
history of American scheduled air
transportation."
The National Uark Service reported
3,224,889 visitors at 22 national
parks in the United States and Ha-;
waii in Lne first eight months of
1935, against 2,800.440 in the same
period in J 934.
Retail stores along the New England
coast line gained about 7 per
cent, in volume of sale5^ this year
over last, "due to the increased num
j uci ui * iWityi a.
Estimated figures indicated more
than twice as many visitors in .\Iiujnesota
up to Sept. 1 than the state
received in 193 4 up to Nov. 1, when
1,070.000 tourists spent .SI2.S00.000
The report sail! California 'has
experienced the best tourist season
j his year since lyihi . . The summer
tourist season in Florida was reported
35 per cent, above the average

"THE PROTECTION YOUR FAMILY
*
NEEDS"
ABOUT four years ago we realized the great need of some way
by which our people in the communities which we serve could
have a decent burial and not burden those of their loved ones
who were lcit behind, and after due consideration, we felt that
a properly organized and operated burial association would answer
this problem.
The president of your association with several other operators
of Burial Associations and men who were interested in properly
operated associations throughout North Carolina, went before
the legislative bodies in Raleigh and asked for laws that would
properly regulate the organization and operation of every association
in the State, making it mandatory for each operator to
carry the necessary bond to protect his membership, and even \
though we had right much opposition from funeral directors who
did not want to fool with burial associations the legislative bodies
felt that our cause was just, and your burial association is now
supervised by the insurance commissioner of North Carolina.

WE HAVE BEEN ASKED IF ALL BURIAL ASSOCIATIONS
WERE ALIKE. WE COULD ONLY SAY
NO, AS THERE IS AS MUCH DIFFERENCE IN
THE OPERATORS OK RITUAL ASSOCIATIONS AS
THERE IS IN FARMERS OR MERCHANTS.
We can only say to you that we want you to judge our Burial
Association by our past record of two years operation.
WE HAVE A MEMBERSHIP OF 11,000 MEMBERS
WE HAVE PAID _ 41 DEATH CLAIMS
WE HAVE MADE 5 CALLS FOR DUES IN TWO YEARS
WE HAVE OVER $3,000.00 IN OUR TREASURY
Our fine membership has made this possible by their spirit
of cooperation with us, and I am sure that all of us are proud of
this record.
The RE1NS-STURDIVANT FUNERAL HOME of Boone,
Sparta and North WilYesboro are the designated undertakers for
this association, their equipment is the most modem and up-todate
in this section of the State, and the association has their
guarantee of the best service and merchandise for our members
that can be goLten abywherc.
We believe you should have this protection for your family,
and it would be a real pleasure to have vou call by any one of the I
above offices, send us a card, or see our representatives.
To our membership, we say thank you for your cooperation,
and to those of you who are not members, we extend to you a
most hearty invitation to join with us and help us make of this
the most helpful organization in Western North Carolina.
