An attractive descriptive booklet,
‘Vacationing in North Carolina,"

prepared by the Carolina Mo

“Initial edition of the bookle t, which
Y.ill be published annually, will be

W. Roberts, vice-president of the club.
-Sole purpose of the booklet will be

nation for both summer and- winder
vacationists.

GASOLINE PRICES VARY
FROM 10 to 29 CENTS
The spring tourist season is
about to open and motorists will
find about 50 varieties of gasoline
prices in existence as they travel
over the country.
Statistics compiled by the Amer
ican Automobile Association show
ed gasoline varies in price from
10 to 29 cents a gallon in different
localities and the gas tax ranges
from six cents in South Carolina
to two cents in Wisconsin.
Only two states, Illinois and New
York, have no gas tax. It was
estimated motorists would use
more than 14,000,000,000 gallons
of gasoline this year and pay a
tax of more than $300,000,000 for
the fuel.
Th«re are now 22,000,000 pleas
ure cars in the United States and
11,000,000 of them will be used
for touring trips during the open
season. It was estimated each car
will carry four vacationists or
pleasure seekers and one-third of
the nation will take its recreation
on wheels during 1929.

Having been established as a rec
ognized flying field to be placed in all
the guide books and maps issued by
the Federal Department of Com
merce, the Knollwood Airport is now
concerned with the matter of lighting
for the benefit of night fliers. The
markers pointing the way to the field
have proven their value, but can not
be seen in the darkness. For several
days the Pinehurst Electric Shop has
been installing the wiring. The pow
erful lamp which illuminates the wind
cone on the roof of the hangar has
already been set up. Two 100-watt
fllcod lights similar to the one that
lights the theater building from the
village green are to be fixed at the
side of the building to give different
angles of illumination on the run
ways. Chance visitors to our port
have not been frequent enough to
warrant continuous use of the new
lights every night. When notice is
received beforehand, as often happens.
Of an intended visit, or when a plane
is heard circling over the community,
they will be flashed on and left burn
ing until a landing is safely made.
They will also be invaluable to any
who find it necessary to take off at
night.

Rain vs SO-SO Acme
Hear Ye! The decision: “It has
been found, by the testimony of
hundreds of farmers—men of
character and ability, standing
high in their community:
That—Best results are obtain
able when Fertilizer is made 50
percent mineral, to start the crop
gTowing; and 50 percent organic,
to offset the loss of fertilizer by
rain, and to strengthen and con
tinue the plant life.
This organic nitrogen (ammonia)
stays in the ground, dissolves
slowly and makes the farmers’
chances of a good stand, and a
good yield, much more certain
and sure.
Therefore: Old Reliable Acme

ues to make now, and has for the
past forty-six (46) years, only
50-50 quality goods.

The Indians had their pipes—
made of clay or stone and none cost
ing as much as an acre of good loamy
land. But they were PIPES right
on, and they drew good smoke. Not
only that, but the Indians rolled
their own cigarettes. Moreover,
the Indians had their stogy cigars.

were the originals of all that we

A recent inquiry among car-own ers, conducted nation-wide, re
veals that Goodyear Tires are now preferred 2 to 1 over the next
most popular make—and from 3 to 1 up to 30 to 1 over other
brands!
The old opinion that “all the leading- tires are about alike” is rap
idly submerging under the ever-growing proof of Goodyear su
periority.
The day is past when clever advertising might sway the multitude
on tires. Car owners are too well posted—they have learned too
much fiom experience to be baited by mere claims. Nor will tire-
buyers, who watch their dollars, be swung away from the best tires
by clever “dealer talk” in the face of incontrovertible facts which
over-tower all the words in the dictionary.
The loyalty to Goodyear Tires on the part of car owners is a mat
ter of cold dollars and cents. Most people buy those products
which give them the most for their money. !
Experience proves that Goodyear Tires offer the greatest value—
by a wide and substantial margin. Therefore!—Goodyears far out
sell any other make.
