Bargains Will Be Offer
ed In Observance
Os Event
Throughout the year 1950 Rose's
5-10-25 c Stores, Inc., will celebrate
the 35th anniversary of the founding
of the company by offering special
anniversary bargains in their various
lines of merchandise. Manager Paul
M. Wallace of the Edenton store
states there will be some outstanding
values offered in these special Bales
throughout the year and that the spe
cials will be advertised, so suggests
that readers of The Herald watch for
the advertisements.
This progressive company began
its existence in the spring of 1915
when Paul H. Rose opened the first
Rose store in Henderson. His idea
at that time was to offer the most and
best possible merchandise at the low
est possible cost and on this basis he
built up his present extensive or
ganization. This principle has been
his practice throughout his successful
merchandising career and he still in
sists that all stores throughout the
five states in which they are located
give the most and best possible mer
chandise for the lowest possible cost
to the consumer.
The business of the firm was run as
a partnership until 1927, when the
company was formed into a corpora
tion. P. H. Rose, the founder, was
made president of the corporation, a
position which he still holds, and T.
B. Rose, Jr., was elected secretary
and is now the executive vice presi
dent
There are now 130 modem stores of
the corporation throughout the five
states of North Carolina, South Caro
lina, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia
and the authorized capital stock has
been increased from the original
$250,000 to $2,500,000.
The Rose Company makes hospi
talization and life insurance avail
able at very low cost to a large part
of the employees, and all employees,
after two years employment with, the
company, share in a profit sharing
trust which has been set up for em
ployees without cost to them.

/'"'vNE of the grandest things about your Buick is the
Hs| Ls way you can ignore the season—chew your way
m through gravel and dust alike, splash through the wet
stretches, snug and secure even on slippery pavements.
*** f Rough road conditions call for special attention to
your lubricants. Tires should be checked for correct
inflation —for deep, clean tread that bites on a
slick surface. Brakes won’t stop you with a sure
and gentle touch if the master cylinder needs more
fluid, or if an air-bubble has worked itself into the
line. These things, and more, should be checked to
keep your Buick at its best.
I If that sounds like more than one thought to bear
‘ * in mind —just drive into our shop and tell the man,
‘ ••lubricare , please.”
- /I Our winter Lubricare treatment covers all these points
—with specially trained mechanics following factory
WBSBfc Wm*. specifications as they go over your car from end to end.
mmm ■P» . .
¥. Drive in this week, why don’t you? The price is sur
prisingly low. The peace of mind is priceless.
