SEA FOOD FOR SALE
In 1951 the total cash value of North Carolina's
commercial fish haul was over 16 Vi million dollars.
Modern refrigerated trucks and modern roads have
brought prosperity to this industry and its people,
to make their work and living in North Carolina
more pleasant.
Another contributing factor to more pleasant living
for North Carolinians is the brewing industry's self
regulation program where brewers, wholesalers and
retailers—in counties where malt beverage sales are
permitted under State control—cooperate to maintain
wholesome conditioas for the legal sale of beer
and ale.

No, it’s not just any one of these things that

Ford worth more when they buy it, worth
more when they sell it.
