GUNTER’S STORE VASS, NORTH CAROLINA AN OLD ONE ANSWERED A newspaper advertisement spread over four columns caused a riot in New York a few days ago. The ad appeared Monday, giving special prices on women’s suits, coats and dresses. At 7:30 o’clock Tuesday morning the policeman on duty was compelled to telephone for help in handling the crowd. At noon 50 po licemen were doing what they,could to keep order among the 5,000 women that were storming the entrance of the already over-crowded store. The same condition prevailed throughout the day. We do not know anything about the values the store was offer ing, but we do know that the copy pulled and demonstrated what every business man should know—that newspaper advertising is read more carefully today than every before and that the direct results from such ad vertisements are up to the advertiser and not the newspaper. The news paper. The newspajjer proves its power to create business every time the advertiser gives it an opportunity —it has the readers, they are ready to become interested, and all that is needed is a truthful, timely message. his girl, but he couldn’t stand it to follow a plow two hours. Another young fellow walked four miles across fields to “hook” watermelons, but several blocks was too far for him to walk to church. Yes, sir—boys are certainly peculiar. NOTICE OF LAND SALE A BOY’S PECULIARITIES If you want to wreck a Vass boy’s life, force him to hold his baby sister for half an hour each day and he’ll become broken in spirit and will fade away and wither into an invalid be yond cure. If the young fellow is not imposed on in this manner he will grow and develop into a strong, healthy man, and when grown can sit and hold on his lap for hotirs with out tiring a girl weighing all the way from 120 to 180 pounds. It is strange, but it is so, and we can quote a number of instances to prove that the theory is correct. A boy can run all day while at play, travel for miles and never think about being tired. But it is awful punishment to require him to run two blocks on an errand. We once knew a young man who walked seventeen miles to see Under and by virtue of the powers of sale, contained in a certain deed of trust of date April 27, 1921, executed by Vass Hotel Building Company, Incorporated, to the undersigned W. D. Matthews, Trustee, for the pur pose of securing the payment of an indebtedness therein mentioned due to the Bank of Vass, which said deed of trust is recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds of Moore county in Book of Mortgages No. 34, at page 381, default having been made in the payment of the indebtedness secured by the terms of said deed of trust and application having been made by the party to whom said indebtedness is due to the undersigned to fore close said deed of trust, in accordance with the terms thereof the under signed trustee will offer for sale at public auction to the highest bidder, for cash, at the court house door of Moore County, in the town of Car thage, on Monday the 1st day of January, 1923, at 12 o’clock noon, a certain tract or lot of land lying and being in the town of Vass, Moore County, North, Carolina, and more particularly described and defined as follows, to-wit: Adjoining the lands of Vass Mer cantile Company and other, beginning at an iron stake at the intersection of Maple Street with railroad street; thence with said Railroad Street S. 38 W. 159 feet to a stake by said Railroad Street; thence N. 52 W. 86 feet to a stake; thence N. 11 E. 105 feet by a stake by the south side of said Maple Avenue; thence S. 79 E** 150 feet to the beginning.
