Raleigh, May 4 ? Products manu
factured in North Carolina during the
last census year (1929) were valued
at $1,312,000,000, or about three times
the value of all icrops and livestock.
These products are grouped into 141
different classes by trie Bureau of the
Census, some of the classes compris
ing several different kind3 of articles.
The 3,800 manufacturing plai?3 in the
State gave employment to 210,000
wage earners and 17,000 salaried of
ficers and employees and paid more
than two hundred million dollars in
salaries and wages. '
Manufactured tobacco alone
amounted to more than half a billion
dollars and for the first time became
the leading industry aa measured by
tha value of products. However, the
textllo industry, with products valued
at approximately $483,000,000, is by
far the largest in the employment oi
labor and the payment of salaries and
wafccs. While all tobacco factories
give employment to about nineteen
thousand salary and wage earners
and pay slightly more than twenty'
million dollars in salaries and wages; '
all branches of the textile industry,
give employment to 117,500 officers
and employees and pay over ninety-'
three million dollars in salaries and
wages. Other leading industries as'
measured by the value of their pro- j
ducts are sawmills and planing mills,'

! The products of our factories may
ba summed up somewhat as follows :
Wearing apparel, hosiery, and pisce
goods for personal use; furniture,
stoves, draperies, blankets, sheets, pil
low cases, and many other things for
the home; canned fruits, vegetables,
butter, cheese, and other processed
foods for the table; motor and horse
drawn vehicles, auto tires and bat
teries, and similar things for our
transportation^ needs; candies, cig
ars, cigarettes and smoking tobaccos
for our pleasure; medicines, drugs,
salves, and other medicinal products
for our bodily ailments; and mora
than a 150 other different kinds of
articles, including something for al
most every imaginable need. Every
section of the State shares in the pro- ,
duction of soma of these articles, but!
as a general rule, North Carolinans
are rot as well acquainted with whRt]
we manufacture as might be, because,
they have not been able to visit these
manufacturing plants nor have they
had many opportunities to see them at
exhibitions or in retail stores. In most
cases, when they have bought them
at the stores, they have not known
that they were buying things made
in North Carolina.
In order to acquaint the public with
poods made in the State and to stim
ulate the sale of theze articles in the
home-stores, the State Department of
Conservation and Development is
sponsoring the third annual "Made
in-Carolina" campaign. The week of
May 16th to 21st, inclusive, has been
selected for this purpose. During this
period many merchants plan to fea-'
ture North Carolina-made goods in(
their show windows, on their coun-|
ters, and in their newspaper adver-'
tising, plainly marking all articles]
made in the State so that purchasers |
will know when they buy home-made i
products. "Manufacturers have been
asked to make a special effort to place ,
their products in as many stores as
possible before May 16tb," said of
ficials of the Department, "and, of
course, the public's part is to buy these
PAINTED TOES ARE
THE LATEST STYLE
? i
? The warm summer days during
the early part of the week found a
large number of youngsters, parting
from all signs of footwear and tread
ing the town streets barefooted.
Among the barefooted individuals
were some not so young, though still
in a childhood stage standing about
the square stretching their long legs
luxuriously and dreaming of the good
old days when they went without
shoes all summer.
The group included one of Erevard's
young sportsmen and practical jok
ers, Charles Edmund Orr, known as
"Brother" among his associates who
had painted his toenails a dark
black. He was heard to say that black
toenails were the latest thing*, among
the .Jjest of .circles. The barefoot cult
included Van Tinsley, Robert Keller
and others.
articles during this special week. If
former campaigns can be taken as
representative of what will happen
this year, then the merchants who
take part in this plan to advertise
North Carolina-made goods will en
joy a big increase in sales during this .
period.
RALEIGH ACCEPTS
DAYLIGHT SAYING
Raleigh, May 4. ? Raleigh has gone
daylight saving. The city, by action
of its commissioners, ha3 decided to
move back the time one hoar, so thai
by going to work an hour earlier in
the morning, the citizens will have
an extra hour in the afternoon. Ef
forts will be made by Raleigh folks
to have other eitics in the State adopt
the daylight saving plan.
But the State of North Carolina
will have nothing to do with daylight
saving, because it will throw thing#
out of joint. Governor Gardner, back
in his office Saturday, and Frank L.
Dunlap, director of personnel, away
but by telephone, both put their feet
down on it. The State i3 now on its
summer schedule, offices" opening at
8:30 and closing at 4:30, Saturdays,
12:30. By using daylight saving time,
the officen would, actually and for a
majority of the people of the State,
close at 3:30. They wouid not stand
for coming to Raleigh and finding
offices closed at that time. It would
be inconvenient.
Since the State will not adopt it, it
seems probable that it will fall
through in Raleigh. It would certain
ly be confusing with the city operat
ing on one schedule and the State on
another.
