At the end of the second day’s selling, that started last Thursday, we had a little get-to-gether meeting at our store. Included in this meeting
were some of our old customers and all of.our sales force, and never was there such a gathering, where good people of our city and country were
shown appreciation because of their patience, good judgment and farsightedness and FREE buying during the first two days of our
FIRST GREAT SALE
HAS THE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE?—Without the public’s confidence in our associates and in our store the first two days of our sale, it could
not have become one of the most important clothing-selling events /that was ever inaugurated in the city.
We hardly think we are mistaken when we say our store receipts were dollars-«-yes,. hundreds more than we expected to receive. You will always
find that our store will maintain as our gQverning principles, TRUTH and FAIR DEALING-—that together with buying and selling none but the
best clothing and furnishing for men, young men and boys at prices in keeping and matching the best stores of our state—our policy has always been
"Sell to Others As You Would Buy for Yourself.” -
Good merchants make small profits and many sales—deal fairly—BE PATIENT—and in time your dishonest competitors will crowd your store
with customers. \
There are greater compensations for the day’s work than financial returns—we prefer to retain our old customers and to make new ones every
day. This “DECIDEDLY DIFFERENT” SALE continues for 12 days more, and we will Strive every moment, every hour of this sale to show cour
tesy and values that can’t be matched at this season of the year, no matter where you may visit.
While, perhaps, some of the good people of our city and surrounding sections were disappointed and couldn’t get waited on through the large
crowds buying in such liberal quantities, we can assure every man and woman to be prepared for a greater number of people to visit this sale and
the values in the newest styles and highest qualities will prove deserving of our store being the chief clothing shopping center in our port of the state,
and the most liberally patronized institution for 100 miles around. WE THANK YOU!

Parker, director of the department o*.

ivill make a speaking tour through the
various towns in North Carolina from
February 4 to February 10, officials of
the State Board of Public Welfare an
nounced tonight.
Dr. Parker’s lectures will be deliv
ered under the auspices of the bureau
of epidermiology of the State Board of
Health in conjunction with the State
Hoard of Charities and Public Welfare
and the Social Service Department of
the Raleigh Woman’s club, it was
stated. _ _ •

"Dr. Parker, who was formerly sec
retary of the United States Interde
partmental Social Hygiene Board, has
had long experience in social work,”
reads the announcement.” She has not
been in regular medical practice since
her marriage in 1905. In 1913, she was
appointed the first woman probation
officer in her home town, Greenwich,
Conn. The following yeau she became
field secretary of the Connecticut So
cial Hygiene association, and contin
ued to work for this organization until
1919, when she joined the staff of the
American Social Hygiene association
“From 1919 to 1921, she directed th«
social hygiene work of the National
League of Women Voters. She still
directs this work in the National Con
gress of Mothers a.nd Parent-Teachers
associations and also the social . moral
ity of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. In 1920, when-the
United States Public Health Service
held its Institute on venereal diseases
and social hygiene, Dr. Parker was ap
pointed one of the lecturers, and she
also was a member of the committee
of 50 for the All-American Conference
on Venereal Diseases of this year.
“In addition to her lecture and edu
cational work, she has had experience
in the direction of a home for deserted
and unmarried mothers and their ba
bies, and during the war. she was ap
pointed under the Connecticut State
Council of Defense supervisor of a
force of six policewomen who formed
a part of the state police force and
acted .as law-enforcement and protec
tive agents.
“In June, 1921, Dr. Parker was ap
pointed to succeed Dr. Thomas A. Sto
rey as executive head of the Govern
ment Social Hygiene Board. The work
of this board was restricted to areas
near some army post or naval station,
that is, places likely to be frequented
by soldiers or sailors on leave. The
government in its plan, for a clean
army and navy did it% utmost
through the board to protect men in
the service from evil conditions in
communities near which they were sta
tioned. . . _
“Members of the United States In
terdepartmental‘Social Hygiene Board
were the secretaries of war, navy and
treasury and three surgeon generals.
Josephus Daniels was secretary of the
navy when Dr. Parker was executive
officer. Upon the failure of congress to
appropriate funds for continuing the
work of this board after July, 1922,
Dr Parker returned to the staff of the
American Social Hygiene association."

ALICE BRADY IN “THE KNIFE”
"The Knife,” Alice Brady’s current
production, directed by Robert G. Vig
nola, contains a jtumber of highly
sensational situations. Picture for
yoursel# a prominent attorney, a fa
mous surgeon and other law-abiding
friends of the kidnaped heroine, com
mitting burglary and unlawful entry
to resoue her from th,e den of the
white slavers, overpowering them, and
then extorting their confessions “un
der cover,” and compounding a felony
by giving the villains immunity from
legal prosecution, but Inflicting an ad
equate punishment nevertheless—and
all ths is done for the ultimate benefit
of society, but directly against the
law. Why? How? What? See the
picture at the Royal today, and get
the answers. '
“LORNA DOONE”
"Speed, pep and thrill” is the de
mand Of the American amusement
seeker, according to motion picture
producers, who claim that the modern
mania for "something with a kick in
it” is responsible for the growing
number of melodramatic films which
are on the market. ,
To satisfy this youthful demand and
at the. same time please the critic and
the educator 'who want substance as
well as excitement, Maurice Tourneur
tias developed a ’special field of film
production in which Ite stands pre
eminent. He has screened a number
of classical novels and plays which
not only supply the necessary thrills
but are master works of artistry.
Even lovelier than "Bluebird” or
"Treasure Island” is Tourneur’s last
production of ‘.’Lorna Doone,” playing
at the Grand. From romance hb has
evolved a picture that ranks with any ,
great spectacular play of the ’year.!
/
While retaining all the classic beauty
of the Devon moors where the story
is laid, he has reproduced the count
less exciting episodes of the famous
novel in a fashion to make any youth
ful fan sigh with complete satisfac
tion.
Both story and picture are replete
with romance and action. In the film
the incidents, when visualized, become
even more enthralling. When John
Ridd goes over-the falls of the Bags
worthy river through swirling, roar
ing waters into the whirlpool below
to save the lovely “Lorna" from a
fate worse than death, there is breath
less suspense as he fights his way out
of the water. Follows one of the
greatest hand to hand fights ever
screened; sumptuous scenes from the
London court; the burning of the out
law’s village and the shooting, of
Lorna as she stands at the altar. Ac
tion never flags.
“THE DANGEROUS AGE”
There seems to be some question as
to just what is the dangerous age, but
that spring is its prbper settlpg is
conceded generally. Following that
theory, John M. Stahl chose this ro
mantic season as the ■ background for
his production, "The Dangerous Age,”
which is coming to the Grand theater
Monday as 4 First National attrac
tion. Spring, according to good au
thorities, is the time at which* little
Dan Cupid is at his best, and then, too
the disturers of domestic bliss are
said to get in their most effective
work. : In “The Dangerous Age,” a
highly dramatic tale, the main victims
of spring’s period of unrest are John
and Mary, two regular,' noripal per
sons,-<wBo have been happily married
for so long that they fall easy prey to
the pipings of Pan.
The story Is by Frances Irene Keels
and Lewis S. Stone heads the all-star
cast.
