C. ■■■■■■ ■ _ ------- - ■ Parks-Belk Stores Managers Held a 1 Three-Day Session in Concord * The managers of the eight Parks-Belk Stores Jffive just returned from a three-day session held in the com mittee room of the Concord store, with Mr. J. G. Parks, secretary and geajgppl manager, presiding. The object of The meeting was to outline and make preparations for the Big Spring Opening and Easter Drive which every Store is taking part in. Two days were spent in making suggestions and exchanging ideas that would make this drive a recognized success. During the meeting many specials were bought. Plans were made to increase our business one hundred per cent, over last year, and we are going to do this by offering the biggest values ever known to the public. Those present were: J. G. Parks, R. W. Cline, S. T. Howell/ N. T. Deaton, of Concord; S. V. Brumlev, of Spartanburg, J. M. Brumley, of Newton, K. W. Broome, i of Hickory, H. W. Broome, of Mt. Airy, C. P. McKinley, E. R. Simpson, of Kannapolis, G. P. Sherrill, of North Wilkesboro, and C. E.R|irks, of Albemarle. One Hundred Belk Buyers in The New York Market. The old saying, two heads are better than one, if one is a goat head—holds true in the Belk Stores. This or ganization does not believe in the policy of having just one or two buyers as other chain s%>res do. In the last few weeks there have been one hundred buyers in the New York market selecting goods for each store. Each store in the chain is represented and Selects just what he wants for his own store. Thus we are able to buy in large quantities and get a much Cheaper price, but at the same time no store is overstocked with the same kind of goods. Our 44-store buying power enables us to buy at our own prices, and automatically benefits the trading public. We Lead-Others Follow For the past 40 years the people of the Carolinas have looked at Belk’s to set the pace. This we have done, and are still doing, can easily be seen by the way we have grown in the past forty years. No other organization can boast as successful growing as Belk’s. This we at tribute to our Motto: We Sell For Less. Car Load Buyers and Discount - Savers Our buyers have recently attended the Toy Fair in New York and have bought several car loads of toys for next Christmas. Also a carload of Apples, two car loads of . sugar and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Ready-to-wear and Millinery, Cotton and Silk Dress Goods, etc., amounting to train loads for the 44 Belk Stores, / A . f-,j Spring Ready-to-Wear The markets have been scoured for values and our. stocks are now complete with the new colorings and fab rics. We invite you to visit our Ready-to-Wear Depart ment and see the wonderful values our buyers have se lected. Every Dress, Coat and Hat a real Value and the Newest of New— Arriving by daily express direct from Broadway, and Fifth Avenue, where styles originate. Speaking of Sales We have Sales —we don’t just make an attempt at put ting on a sale, but we do it in good form. When we advertise a certain kind of sale with Specified Bargains you may rest assured when you come to our store you will find exactly what we advertise. Somfe stores do not believe in sales, but we realize that the peo ple look for sales and especially ours, because goods are reduced to help from carrying them over, and because we have to sacrifice lots of dollars worth of merchandise tb A ' make room for new goods. ' Everyone knows what a Belk Sale is and knows that there are hundreds of bargains always in our store. We believe in sales and we know the public does and * always looks to us for the bargains at all times. r ;■ : ■- The Parks - Belk Stores BIG SPRING OPENING AND EASTER DRIVE / • 7 • ‘ - ** New Fashions Are Ready For a Glorious Easter and Thereafter Neve? before such / an array of lovely f\\ /iff fashions as will /l|f tU/\ greet your eyes t/if lEaster.I Easter.

The gigolo (say ’t so— , zhee-go-lo) is quite a favorite—a high crown, pleated in the back, with a narrow brim turned down in front and up in back. * f Some of the low crowns are good too, many of them are draped dr have novel sectional treatment. The beret comes from the Latin Quarter, where an artist can’t possibly work untesb he wears# »am-o-shanter. Sojpo, the berets, however, have far from the ori ginal tarn that one hardly recognizes their ancestry. Lots of shapes show so many influences that one can’t possibly name them, but I have also seen turbans, and quite a few hats modeled upon the cowboy sombrero. One sees every shade in the rainbow, for although the milliners stress some particular color (rose is in every shop window on at least one hat just now), smart women are wearing hats matching theiT dresses lor coats, or etn phasizing some color used as a trimming. j The straws include crocheted straw'.bangkok, balli buntl, and perle or rice straw. One woman passed fne wearing a grey tailored suit, piped in rtd and white check. Her hat was red bangkdk, with quite a large brim widen ing at the sides and conveniently narrow at the back. There ■were two pleats in the medium width crown, one in back and one in front, and passing around the crown was a red and white check grosgrain ribbon fastened at one side with a silver buckle. The hat effectively brought Out the piping On the snit, and the effect was very original and striking, The combination of straw and felt is seen on many smart hats, and the straw may form wither the crown or the brim of the hart. These hats of. course, are all for y * wear with tailored or sport COiflumes—they require very little trimming. However, some of them are hand painted and some have flat flowers of fabric or felt applhjued oh. The dressier type of straw may be a large prtcure hat, with massed effects of flowers, and (his type of hat is very good for Southern or resort wear. Among these dressier hats Otffe also sees combinations of taffeta and straw, or feille and straw. The bows which one sees everywhere dresses are. repeated em hats m the large bow at one side some with drooping ends falling beneath the hat itseK. At 'thfc Ufa* at lUtttheoft, oTne sees the just-out de- ' W butantes, she ydftoget* married set aft’d their mothers, as T well as the screen stars on 'Shorn Hollywood and the head liners for a matinee apd tea afterwards are' sometimes quite elaborately dressed, while those resting from a hard morning’s work—shopping—are usually more simply at- y tired, in tailored or sport clothes. What me is that they seem to consider a ribbon hat (bdtibg or gros grain ribbon) appropriate for eitbet type Os cOStume, and , there are a great manly, of tWsfe ift evPwhce. One of this belting by a young matron |! * socially prominent and an officer of she juhibr League— was a draped tiWbua, with three folds across the front— f 1 one navy Mae, another wfffte, and a third blue on top. She had the h*W mannish bob, and the hat having no brim showed almost her entire ear. So—if you have pretty ears, yo« need not be reticent about showing them A belting ritd>on crown with a felt brjm, or vice versa, to my wmd, makes a Very happy combination for both I ! the Hbbgn hnd the afre soft and can be arranged in f1 § good lines for the individual wearer. * , . er fabric hat * that t have seen have .been f . r }a i r g el y taffeta or faille silk, with * sprinkling of satins. 1 I o , rbeM * l s arc ofterti cdMMhed With straw.
