nearly 150,000 workers in the seven
year period from 1940 through 1947,

that period from 474,872 workers to
622,636 workers and all non-agricul
tural workers increased from 635,000
to an estimated 882,000. Meanwhile,
agricultural employment decreased

Hi-Ho, Mister!
I see by the ads that pictures of
pretty cakes are supposed to make
you want to buy flour and shorten
ing and things. Shucks. It ain’t the
way a cake looks. It’s the way it
TASTES! And that’s where Silver
Mist Flour comes in. Silver Mist
cakes just naturally taste BETTER,
because they got flavor. That’s be
cause Silver Mist Flour’s got flavor.
Now don’t go trying to eat the flour
by itself just to see how it tastes,
but try baking a cake with Silver
Mist. Or a pie. Or biscuits or rolls.
Then taste ’em. Brother, I GUAR
ANTEE you’ll say that’s the most
larruping flavor you ever bit into.
The kind of flavor that turns a cold
winter day into a bright May morn
ing. The kind of flavor that’ll keep
you and me both from turning into
old grouches. Sure, because Silver
Mist Flour is milled from the best
flavorful wheat by folks who’ve been
in the flour milling business since
1776. Nope, I wasn’t there when
they started, but that’s what they
say. Next time, buy some Silver
Mist.

'
work, coupled with the excess of <
births over deaths from 1940 to 1947,
or 634,000, makes it hard to reconcile
these figures with the government es
timate as of July, 1947, that the
population of North Carolina had in
creased only 93,000, or 2.6 per cent,
since 1940.
The Mountain Region "of the State,
25 counties, showed- the greatest cov
ered employment increase in the
seven years, 42.07 per cent, consider
ably higher than the State average
of 31.12 per cent, but the wage in
creases in this region increased to an
average of only 111.19 per cent, as
compared with the State average of
122.71 per cent.
The Piedmont Plateau, embracing
36 counties, manufacturing center of
the State, made a smaller relative
gain in amount of employment than
the other two areas, 30.62 per cent,
in the seven years, but showed the
greatest gain in average wages,
124.75 per cent, from $17.70 in 1940
to $39.74 in 1947.
The Coastal Plain area, with 39
counties, increased its average em
ployment by 33.47 per cent in the
seven years, greater than the State
wide and Piedmont Plateau averages,
but less than the Mountain Region
average. The average wages gained
121.41 per cent, slightly less than
he State average, from $14.41 a week
