nowever, 11 started soon enough,
antirabies treatment in humans
will' prevent the disease from
developing in a majority of cases.
Rabid animals show different
symptoms. In the dog one of the
first symptoms is a changed
disposition. If your animal is
sick, seek the advice of. your
- veterinarian and follow his
recommendations.
Serious outbreaks of rabies in
foxes have occurred in recent
years in a few northwestern
North Carolina counties.
Reports of rabies in bats in
many states are becoming more
numerous.
Knowledge of rabies and what
to do to prevent it-is vitaL to yout.?
your family and . your^
community.
WHAT TO DO IF BITTEN
In every case of animal bite or
r scratch, see your physician at
once, and follow his advice
regarding treatment.
As a first aid precaution, wash
all animal bites, immediately
and thoroughly for 15-20 minutes
with a warm soap solution. This
may be done at home if there is to
be any delay in reaching a
physician.
Notify your local health
department. Give them all the
? facts so that they can investigate.
Do not killjhe-ahimal, if it can
captured. Confine in a
veterinary hospital, dog pound,
or other ^secure place where it
cannot escape and can be fed and
watered. The most certain
method of proving that an animal
does not have rabies is to find out
if it remains normal for 10 days
after biting.
. - v
If the animal must be killed, it
should be shot through the heart
and not the head so that the brain
will be preserved for laboratory
examination.
CONTROL THROUGH
COMMUNITY ACTION
Millions of people have been
protected by vaccines from
diptheria, smallpox, tetanus,
whooping cough, polio and flue.
Millions of dogs and children
can be protected agaisnt rabies
through dog vaccination.
You may have your dog
vaetinated by your private
veterinarian or at health
department clinics held in most
North Carolina communities in
the spring.
Dogs should be vaccinated at 4
mos. of age. Booster doses are
necessary at intervals depending
on age of animal and type
w vaccine used.
Dog vaccines are safe and
effective. There may be a slight
sting on injection but the chance
of making the dog sick is no
greater than when children are
innoculated with many vaccines.
STRAY DOG CONTROL
A majority of counties in North

- i ?
Carolina have appointed dog
wardens and constructed dog
pounds.
#
Unwanted stray dogs spread
rabies and are a menace to
livestock and wildlife. Report
strays to the proper
trai-ii yearr'These funds make it
possible to have stray doe
control. A dog listed for taxes is .
also protected against theft.
All dogs in rural areas should
be confined during the breeding
season of game. Self-hunting
dogs destroy an enormous
amount of game.
If your county does not have a '
dog warden, discuss the problem
with your county officials.
REMEMBER
-Rabies is dangerous and is fatal
- Keep your dog Adequately
immunized
- If bitten, see your physician

3. Competition
Furniture stores not only
compete among themselves, but
they also compete with appliance
stores, stores specializing in floor
coverings, department . stores,
chain department stores,
discount chains, and specialty
stores selling homefurnishings of
various kinds.
Within inner cities, there is also
competition from stores offering
purported bargains at inflated
prices and high credit rates.
These stdres may advertise
special bargains as an
inducement to bring shoppers
into the store, but the salesman is
generally skillful at steering the
shoppers away from the so-called
bargain. In many instances,
stores of this type sell and resell
repossessed merchandise,
making their profit on a
r?nntiniiinu cprioc nf
WVt 1VU VI
downpayments. Fortunately, this
type of operation is gradually
being phased out with the
increasing knowledge of the
inner-city consumer and more
stringent controls by authorities.
Highly effective and ethical
price competition will be faced
from the large chain department
stores and mail-order houses.
These establishments generally
feature relatively high quality
merchandise at economy prices.
In recent years, they have
improved their styling, as well.

compete with these stores, as he
would with department sotres
and with other furniture
retailers, by offering value, style,
and efficient service.
Maintaining contact with present
customers is important, and
effect advertising can also be
useful in bringing potential
customers into a store.
- The amount and variety of
merchandise, displayed by a
furniture retailer is important in
meeting competition. The
opportunity to see a wide variety
of furnishings will bring the
shopper into the store, and the
more choices that can be seen,,
the greater the possibility that
the shopper will find something
she likes. Thus, there is a trend
toward greater and greater floor
space on the part of the
independent furniture retailer.

4. Ease of Entry
The individual who has the
attributes and skills for success
iri furniture retailing must
nevertheless find the right
location and sufficient canitnl
before he can enter the industry.
The right location is a place
that will provide the retailer with
ample floorspace at a reasonable
price in a-, market. which is
growing and not overly saturated

with competition.- The location ,
must also provide parking space
if it is in a suburban area, if it is
in the inner city, it must be
reasonably accessible to the
potential market. Before
selecting a location, a careful
market survey should be made to
determine if there is sufficient
business to justify the selection.
A new ehtrant, who is properly
capitalized and who knows his
business, should not be
frightened away from
establishing a furniture store
simply because there is
considerable competition alreadv

in the area. Unless he is prepared
to hold his own in competition
with other retailers and the
chains, he should not enter the
business. Even if competition is
-.relatively scarce at a particular
time, he can always expect
newoomers or hranrh outlets; of
existing firms.
A major factor affecting ease
of entry will be the ability to
secure .sufficient capital for
inventory and to finance credit
purchases.
