HOME TOWTS N&WSPVVPERS United States Rubber Company O bob rates Tentli Anijiveraary ? of a Pioneering Advertising Program In 1915 there were 2, 445,666 auto ! mobiles in. this country. It seemed a tremendous number. I Some people were ..already talking about " the saturation point"* being not far ahead. ; But if there' were some men who j couldn't see tfte woods for the trees, | there were others whose faith never ! faltered. ' It took a lot of courage for them to bank on the ultima,te success of the automobile in ? that market. They had both. t* Back in 1915, the United States Rubber Company said "The r$al fu ture of the automobile is not in the J>ig cities but away from them/* It is not in short runs or city streets, but in mile after mile on country roads. " So back in 1915 the United States Rubber Company began to prepare for this movement ? and to help it. In 1915 ? ten years ago? the fifrst U. Si Tire advertising began to ap pear in the "home town" papers. I . tFew people saw these papers in their true v dimension. (Few realized the influence they had :n what the people thought and didi and wore and bought. Because few people realized the place they filled in the minds and Hves of their readers, j The United States Rubber Com pany saw. As clearly as it .saw that the devel opment of the automobile would be in the smaller communities, it saw that the people in these communities would have. to-hove- tires to measure up to the senrice and tire merchants to sell them. And ten yerfs ago people began to read "the first U, S. Tire Advertising in theifc "home town" pkper? over the name ^f their "home town" deal er. They have been reading it ever since. They have seen these home deal ers develop their little "side line of , tires" into real business ? always \y?i\\ the sujfport of "U. S" Adver tising in these local papers. Co-incident with the tenth anni versary of "home town" advertis ing by the United States Rubber i Company. This company announces! another long step forward in the i perfection of automobile, tires ? the greatest since the introtfuction of! the cofd itself ? in its perfected La | tex treated ? Web - Cord Royal Bal loon Tire with the flat low pressure tread. Today there are 16,000,000 auto mobiles in this country. 80 per cent of them are owned by men and women * on the farms and in_ the smaller communities. Where there was one U. S. tire dealer in the small towns then there are hundreds today?real merchants. What was only a vision in 1915 has come true in 1925. j PROGRAM MILL CREEK B. Y. P. U. Mill Creek B. Y. P.

' . ^ HOXBOKO BUSINESS DIRECTORY We will begin a series of adver tisements next week which will mean i much to Roxboro. This will be in the fcrm of a "Roxboro Business Directory," and here you will find a number of cards from the , various merchants and enter prise* of the town. This publicity i will not only help your business, but ; it. will show to the outside , world . St Roxboro is u live town, well tesented tn all. lines and renre- ; ! rented by marrhnnts whn are not i ashamed to ask for your business. This page is intended for every , business firm in the town, and wo regret that a few did not see fit to ; enter with their card. The cost is very low, purposely, so that every j one might feel able to take at least ! a card and help advertise Uoxfcoro. But more of them will come in from week to week and soon wo hope -to : have it a real business directory with' 100 per tent listed therein. If our advertising man ' failed to see you, remember, Roxboro is : Pno PIKER and it takas time j to- visit every firm' here. But it will be appreciated if you will just phone as, saying "put my card in the Busi ness Directory." ? O : ? ' FROM ALUENSVILLE "It seems that women were crea ted on purpose for trouble; proud they are as Lucifer, and deceitful at the devil." The man who" wrote the above verse no doubt had <;ome in contact with just such a female being as the one who, last week, signed her "name Giraffe to her let ter in The Courier. This woman, who is a close neighbor to Mr. T. B. Davis, not agreeing with some of Mr. Davis' actions and believing that Poor Richard was in sympathy -with Davis, and that Endorser was in sympathy with Richard, I say this voMnan starts out to apply her Gol den Rule to all three by calling us the worst names that she can con ceive of, with the hope that she might to some extent injure 'Davis and every one connected with him. And while she is to be pitied, I pity her husband much the more. For he was a nice young man and Rich ard recommended this girl to him, not knowing t^hat she was given to such outbursts of temper and such violent explosions as the one last week indulged in. Richard has al ways spoken of her in the highest terms and so far as X know Mr. Davis has done likewise. But her letter has thrown mXich light on her real character and will enable Davis Richard, Endorser and many other? of the good people of the County to realize that some women, though "appearing righteous on the outside, are filled with hatred and malice towards their neighbors and friends on the inside. I like to look on woman as the nearest thing that we have approaching heaven, while some who were not so fortunate as Richard in 'marrying, are saying that a woman is the worst thing this side of hell. If this woman was so much dis pleased at something that Mr. Djvis or Richard had said or done, why was it that she made ^ich an out burst of vituperation towards them through The Courier wheh she could have easily stepped just across the road and told Davis what she thought of him without exposing herself to all the people of the Coun siy. And instead of almost shedding tears like she did a few years ago when Richard was about to sell out. she could easily have told him right to his face what a devil he was, without placing herself in such an embarrassing position as she is now in. And so far aa my letters giving her and her friends the stomachache, I will ay these letters were never intended for the stomachache; jthey were only intended for men and women who had brains enough to read and appreciate them. AIso, 1 1 will say that since Mr. Dnvis has | resigned as Sunday School super intendent, perhaps- this woman will j be more regular in her attendance : as her absence has been conspicuous | fof nearly a year without any appar , ent cause.

MORRIS DEAD 'J News was received here yesterday evening: that Mr. R. W. Morris was d4&d. Only last week hia friends ^thought that he was improving and | would be able to come home. He did come home, came last Friday, but his condition was very serious, and it was not thought he could live long, so the end came yesterday at about 11 o'clock, P. M. He had been in the hospital in Richmond for the past several weeks, but . noth ing physicians could .da was avail Bob, as all of his friends callfla him, and he was universally popular and liked by every one, was ^ricken just in the prime of lff^Aw^as every one thought, assured of a long and useful life* lie' was un usually. -robust, full of life, energy and ambition, and had builded for himself a reputation which migh> well be envied by all. He will be buried this evening at Mill CreeK Church, the services being held under tKe auspices of Person Lodge A. f. and A. M., No* "1^3, of which he was a member. He took an active inter- , est^ in the order and held many offi ces in said lodge. He was a member of the Edgar Long Memorial Church, and was much esteemed by hia cbuarch and pastor. o TRUE SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY You may talk about Southern Hospitality, but mfeny farmers cf this section will tell you that it rr not dead. The farmers in this Coun ty were really very short on toba~c3 plants, and it looked as if. it would j be impossible to plant a full crop. I It was learned that the farmers in i Eastern Carolina had an abundance of plants, and quite a number of | farmers from Roxboro and rear I Roxboro want down there to buy -plants. They fell in with Mr. Charlie ; Gates, formerly of this County, and j he left his work, wefct with them to j the different farms, helped them pull plants, saw that they were fed, treated with every courtesy a bro ther could extend, and when money was tendered in payment of the | plants, would not accept; a dollar* ^ nay, would not 'let them pay him for any trouble or time. And every ; farmer in that splendid section was juyt as ? hoapitabk. ' as Mr. Caws, none of them accepting a penny for | plants or trouble. Truly, Eastern j Carolina is a great section composed | of a class of men who would make i any section great, and if fate should I ever make it possible for Person County farmers to be of service to [ them,, they only have, to command. ATBEND MEETING OF INSURANCE MEN' | returned from New York where Mr. j Gentry attended a meeting of the [ National Insurance Association. Mr. /Gentry says while the trip was (treat-* ; ly enjoyed still, he gained much valu able information which, he thinks wil be of service to the Sattertieid Insurance Agency, which he is con i nected with. This service they pro pose to hand out to their customers. HONORED VISITORS I l/ The people of Roxforo and the County felt much honored last wt-ek I by !C visit from Dr. and Mrs. J. E. i Briggs, of Washington, D. C. When I it was learned that Dr. Briggs- would arrive here Friday morning the Pres ! ident of the Roxboro Baptist Baraca's | issued a hurried call and (bout a j dozen met the Dr. at the train arid 1 extended an invitation to 1iim to address the Baraca's Sunday morn ing, but he was booked to preach, in Atlanta and could not accept.' Dr. Brigga ia a native of Person Couniy and is greatly loved by all who know him.

Duke Adda This Huge Sum To Duke University Building Fuod * ,Duke university Tuesday after noon took fifth place among the un iversities of the United States from the standpoint of physical equip ment by virtue -of. an additional gift of two million dollars to the building fund of the university by J amen Buchanan Duke, prominent tobacco and water power magnate, . who last December created an indenture which resulted in the changing of the name of Trinity college to the present name, .and assuring for it f frmanent maintenance. The announcement of the gift came as a. surprise to most of the people. Some kind of announce ment dealing with the university has been expected indefinitely, but it was thought that this announcement would be concerning the program for ? expansion, which was not mentioned by the president or any member ot the administration. This gift raises the present Duke building fund to eight million dol lars, and will place the university fifth, with Harvard, Yale, Colombia and Chicago leading in the order named- This brings the university well up the line among the twelve leading institutions cf the nation. Massachusettes Institute of Tech nology, and Iceland Stanford Junior, are both above nine million, but be | ln>w DiAs. Pennsylvania. Cornell, Carnegie.
