Miller Furniture Company
Displays Practical Gifts
UFE'S BYWAYS
Owner Of Local Firm
Came To America
On Lusitania
Elsewhere in today's edition
the Miller Furniture Lomptn,
established in Beaufort in
September 1S):'6, runs the tirst
in a series of pre-Christmas
advertisements featuring prac
tical Christmas gifts. Jacob
Miller, owner of the irm
started here on a small scale
in September 1936, but already
he has increased the size ot
his original quarters and to
day his store is one of the best
in any Eastern Carolina town.
Jacob Miller became a part ot
Beaufort immediately upon bis ar
rival in town to enter the furniture
business. He made friends fast and
today he is known from one end of
Carteret to the other for the fair
and square dealings he has with cus
tomers. Here in Beaufort he takes
a part in the civic life of the town
and is one of the most popular mem
bers of the local Rotary Club. He
is also active in the American Leg
ion, having accepted the post ot fi
nance Officer for the coming year.
His career has been interesting.
He was born in Poland in 1893. At
the age of I t he came to America.
On this cruise to his adapted coun
try young Jake Miller was aboard the
late' S. S. Lusitania, which was mak
ing its second Atlantic crossing at
the time. It was the sinking of the
s. S. L:t!--.tania, c few vein- kttvr by j
.. '(;,.;,,;, submarine, which kindled
w Vpui k which cariied tin- United
Man.- into the World War.
Miller landed in New York and
lived there for awhile and then mov
ed to Cleveland where he made his
home for a short time. For the great
er part of his life in his adopted
country he lived in Wilmington, X.
C , from which city he csimct o Beau
fort to open the Miller Furniture
Company here on September 15,
U.'3i). His firm is located on Turner
street in the I'enoyer building. He
had not been located there very long
before he was convinced his store
was an important need for Beaufort,
Morehead City and greater Carteret,
so he doubled the size of his estab
lishment. Today his store features an excep
tionally fine line of furniture and at
this particular season he is urging
through an advertisement appearing
in this newspaper that furniture is
thep radical and appreciated Christ
mas gift for the entire family. Mr.
Miller invites the public to visit his
store and see not only the living
room, bedroom and dining room
; suites, but the oth?- practical gifts
I such as table, floor and boudoir
j lamps, all kinds of stoves, oil heat
j ers, kitchen cabinets, cribs for ba
i bies, line imported and domestic
rugs, many patterns in linoleums,
smokers' stands and mirrors. "Also
tell them," said Mr. Miller, "that
Miller Furniture Company will this
year have a Toyland featuring a
fine line of wheeled and other toys
I at moderate prices."

THE GENTLEMAN WITH THE
SCYTHE
Millions of thrifty Americans are
liner fnr ol.) acre throueh life
insurance. But how many ot these j
millions will live to enjoy the fruits
of their frugality? !
Cold statistics would undoubtedly ;
give a rather chilling answer. Yet,
zehind the statistics lie almost un
blievable tales of personal neglect by i
individuals who scrupulously heeded ,
the dictates of modern business and
social life, but just as scrupulously
ignored the warning twinges of fail
ing health.
Over 70,000 persons died of tuber
culosis in the United States last
year. Most of those deaths could
have been avoided, if the victim had
but "played ball" with nature and
the medical profession. The prick of
a tippHIo (Tuberculin Test), the
snap of an X-ray camera, both of i
which would have required only a
few seconds of time, and the gentle
man with the scythe would have been
sent on his way alone.
Life insurance and good health
are vital to the peace of mind of ev
ery breadwinner. Don't allow your
self to be "caught short" on either.

JOHN BROWN'S PAY CHECK
According to an article by Frank
K. Kent, current slackening ot gov
ernment borrowing is a deceiving phe
nonenon. Instead of borrowing direct
ly from the banks or the people thru
the issuance of bonds, the govern
ment has now adopted a policy of
spending the funds supposedly placed
in trust with the government, by
the people, under the Social Security
act. In other words, the money
which is taken out of John Brown's
weekly pay check, and which the gov
ernment has promised to set aside to
care for him in old age or when he
is unemployed, is promptly being
dumped into the public treasury for
general expenses !
