Harrison, manager of the Roanoke Motor Co., new Ford dealers, is no stranger to most people in Roanoke Rapids. Coming here from Littleton, where he still holds the Ford agency, Mr. Harri son is well acquainted in this ter ritory thru his former connection with a wholesale grocery com pany in Littleton, and other busi ness enterprises. The stock department of the new Ford dealers, when completed, will be among the most complete in this section of the state.

They are now open for business in the garage building formerly occupied by the Joyner Motor Co., retiring Chevrolet deal ers, and a big “Formal Opening” will be announced in next weeks issue of the Herald. Sammy Marks, proprietor of “The Warehouse,” Roanoke Rap ids famous “Store Without Win dows,” that has been featured in Ripley’s “Believe It Or Not,” an nounces that he is moving to a store with windows, and that after July 1st he will occupy the form er location of the defunct Hunt’s 5c and 10c Store on Roanoke Ave nue in the North business section. Young Marks is instituting a “Closing Out” sale this week, with a double-page advertisement in the Herald, and thousands of hand bills to be distributed in this sec ' tion. Stock and fixtures of Hunts 5c and 10c Store were sold Wednes day morning, with a representative crowd of bidders attending. The sale has not yet been confirmed, ' but it is understood fixtures were purchased by a local man. The stock will doubtless he moved. That the new 3.2 beer is “potent stuff” is evidenced by the explo sion of a keg of it on draught in a local restaurant Saturday after noon. The impact could be heard for some dsitance, and created no little exdtement, tho very little damage was suffered. Cause was attributed to a defective valve used in the hook-up. | There seems to be as much dif ference in the opinion of the good ness of draught beer over the bot tled beverage as there is in blonds and brunettes, tho we notice places displaying the “On Draught” signs are enjoying a good business. Perhaps the dif ference in price accounts for its popularity to no little extent, tho imbibers will argue you down that they prefer it on draught or bot tled, light or dark—as the case may be. Beer must be making terrific inroads on the profits of manufac turers of other soft drinks. Wit ness that one large company is ad vertising: “A Drink That Does Not , Bring After-Drowsiness.” (Continued on back page) Boy Robbers Roanoke Rapids Hospital Graduate Nurses Class Of 1933 Photo by VRIES, Staff Photographer Above is the 1933 Graduating Class of the Roanoke Rapids Hospital School of Nursing.

JUNE USHERS IN MANY MARRIAGES OF INTEREST TO ROANOKE RAPIDS Modern Kitchen Is Featured In Power Company Display The windows to the left of the main entrance of the Electric building, Carolina division head quarters of the Virginia Electric and Power Co., are attractively decorated to form a modern, model kitchen with the display featuring an electric range, refrigerator and other modern conveniences to lighten housework, particularly in the culinary division of the home. The unique display is further enhanced by the addition of a kitchen cabinet, courtesy of the Shell Furniture Co., and modern plumbing fixtures loaned and in stalled by J. C. Smith. According to Fletcher Dickens, sales manager of the company, it is intended to demonstrate the im portance of 20th Century appli ances in the kitchen, which many regard to be the most important room in the home, and will be changed from time to time. Later, demonstrations may be arranged in the window. The Virginia Electric and Pow er Co., has long encouraged the use of modern conveniences in all lines in the home, regardless of who sells the equipment Week Of Parties Ends With Wyche Clark Nuptials Dan Cupid is either using more deadly aim, or his darts are taking effect better, as is evidenced by the series of weddings and announce ments that have taken place the last few weeks, and are scheduled for the early part of June.
