W.H. Cooper Attends
Philco Refrigerator
Show I n Charlotte
New achievements in home re
frigeration, air conditioning and
automobile radio were reported
yesterday by W. H. Cooper, local
Philco Dealer, who has just re
turned from Philco’s mid-winter
sales convention at Charlotte,
where he witnessed the world’s
prem'iere of I’hilco’s latest scien
tific advances in these three
fields.
"New capital investments for
new products revitalize the busi
ness life of the nation with em
ployment and tlie increased flow
of wages throiigli tiie channels of
business. Philco’s contribution to
American industry and to the
highest standard of American life
forecasts a hoaltliy spurt in ibusi-
nes.s throughout l h e United
States. I look to 1940, not mere
ly as the dawn of a new decade,
but as the year of stabilization
for America’s economic life.’’
"Philco has raised the stand
ard of quality of its new refrige
rator beyond all expectations,”
Mr. Cooper, stated in reviewing
what he saw at the convention.
"An entirely new refrigerator,
designed for 'beauty and utmost
utility, and featuring sensational
.scientific improvements, is Phil
co’s contribution to the health
and comfort of the American pub
lic. For the first time in my long
experience, I saw a refrigerator
that is completely departmentaliz
ed with a moist cold compart
ment, a frozen food box, a dry
cold chamber, a special meat stor
age d.rawer, a freezing cold com
partment, the famous conserva-
dor which gives twenty-six per
cent more usable space, a refrige
rated freshener shelf, and re
serve storage bin. And to top all
that, the price is low enough to
widen the consumer group more
than ever before.
“Announcement of the new
short wave auto radio with which
you can get foreign stations right
in your own car caused quite a
sensation at the meeting. For
the first time In the history of
the radio industry, a car radio
has been designed which gives
you the same reception as you
get at home—regnlar broadcast
and foreign and domestic short
wave progrsuns. TTiis Innovation
adds to Phdico’s unbroken record
as pioneer of every Important ra
dio Innovation for ten straight
years.
"With the lower prices and
portable features of Philco’s new
air conditioning line for home
and office, the public should show
the keenest interest in this new
derice for year-rodnd health and
comfort. Rounding out the dis
play of Philco’s innovations were
several beautiful additions to the
table model radio line and a num
ber of attractive additions to the
Philco family of radio phono
graph modele.
“It is unprecedented that one
organization should give the
world at one tiime a series of im
portant forward steps in three
fields as different as home re
frigeration, air conditioning and
radio. The most extensive adver
tising campaign in Philco’s hls-
/lory, with newspapers receiving
j the major share of the schedule,
I will launch these new achieve
ments in the United States and
Canada.’’

Jacobs Speaks
Gastonia, Jan. 30.—An address
by Dr. W. P. Jacobs, president of
Presbyterian college at Clinton, S.
C., and the election of Coit H.
Jones as president, featured the
annual meeting of the Gastonia
Chamber of Commerce here to
night.
■Complimenting Gastonia and
the piedmont section on the bless
ings of spiritual soundness, com
fortable climate and mutual un
derstanding, Dr. Jacobs on the
other hand pointed a warning
finger at the South because of a
tendency to ignore an agricultural
problem created by using more
cotton than we produce, because
too much local capital is invested
abroad, because the Souih makes
no effort to keep for itself a
youth seeking greater fields of
endeavor.
Speaking more generally. Dr.
Jacobs warned against the dang
ers of teaching youth to expect
security as a gift, the dangers of
industrial misunderstanding, and
the peril of a nation living be
yond its income.
Other officers elected were:
G. Reading and William Conn,
vice president. E. N. Thurston,
treasurer, L. A. Wolfe, Van Cov
ington. Dr. R. E. Rhyne, H. S.
Mackie, Ralph Dickson, Henry
Matthews, J. Y. Todd. F. C. Rob
erts, and W. B. Hair, directors,
and J. C. Williamson, national
councillor. Retiring President W.
B. Hair presided. The meeting
was held at the new comimunity
building.

Not So Hot Inside
Goldsboro, Jan. 29.—The old
water tank on North John street
has been decorated for nearly a
week with icicles 40 feet long
and many car loads of people
have stopped to view the unusual
and beautiful sight.
The sunshine glitters on the
frozen tower and the frosted trees .
nearby. Water is blown in a mist'
from the tank and this freezes as
it strikes the ground and as it
falls on a little house nearby. In
the house live George Jones, his
wife and child, Lizzie Budget, her
mother and two children, and a
brother.
The roof and windows of the
house are covered with Ice, and
there is a five inch layer of ice
in the yard. Members of the Jones
and Padget families are ill with
influenza. All night long those
who are well have stayed up in
shdfts, feeding the fires to pro
vide warmth for the sick ones.
The house has been transform
ed into a veritable Igloo, and
keeping it warm In such •s^eather
is a probletn. The families are not ^
able to buy sufficient fuel and ^
the besutlfnl picture of lee onb-
slde does not look so hot to them.
