C. ml4,21,28,j4,ll,18c Tarheel Retail Business is Booming! To the familiar question "How's business?", Tarheel merchants can honestly say it's terrific! While com plete reports are not yet available. North Carolina sales tax collections for 1953 as compared with 1952, indicate retail sales were up by 5.46 per cent—or more than TWICE the rate of increase for the entire United States! Busy people are happy people and their activities contribute greatly in making North Carolina a better place in which to work, play and live! Another contribution to more pleasant living for , North Carolinians is the brewing industry's self- regulation program where brewers, wholesalers and retailers—in counties where malt beverages are per mitted under State control—cooperate to maintain wholesome conditions for the legal sale of beer fand ale. a I AM AMAZED!” 'It's hard to belleye, but here It Is—a com plete account of the chcmges and improve ments which have taken place here this year! .... the park and playgroimd built for the kids .... the cleon-up, paint-up campaign all the ladies started .... the new street markers, and enlarging the library ....the re-painting of downtown buildings When I see these things one by one. they're not so impressive, but when I consider all these changes together — it is cnnazing the progress our town has made!" YES, IT IS AMAZING! When we add up the improvements made by 164 communities conducting Finer Carolina Programs, words are hardly adequate to express their magnitude and effect. It’s more than the physical accomplishments made thus far . . . it’s the enthusiasm these public-spirited folks are generating, to make progress a continuing program in their communities. TREMENDOUS STRIDES have been made toward happier, more prosperous living’ in FINER towns ... all brought about by the cooperative effort of local people interested in seeing their home towns become better places to live. WE ARE PROUD of sponsoring the Finer Carolina program as an incentive for communities to undertake much-needed local improve ments — selected, financed, completed and enjoyed by local people. THERE’S ROOM FOR YOU and all the family to help your neighbors as they work to make your town CAROLINA’S FINEST!
