Friday, October Ist
Good Neighbor Day
For Towns In N. C.i
> I
Norfolk Group Will Visit
Edenton In Day’s
Tour
Friday, October Ist is going to be
a lucky day for some local residents.
For on that day “Miss Good Neigh
bor” will be in town to distribute $5
bills.
Os course, the bills she distributes
will not be Uncle Sam’s $5 bills but
they will be just as good if they are
used at any store In either Norfolk
or Portsmouth on October Bth or 9th.
It is all part of the promotion for
the annual Norfolk-Portsmouth Good
Neighbor Days. R. F. Welton, 111.
chairman of this retail event, says the
slogan, “If you can’t find it at home
you can find it at Norfolk or Ports
mouth,” is the keynote of the entire
promotion.
“It is not our plan to draw trade
from the local merchants in our neigh
boring towns but rather to point out
to our good neighbors that Norfolk
and Portsmouth are better places to,
shop for those hard-to-get articles I
than the other large cities where they
may have been shopping.” No defi
nite time has been set for the visit on
Friday but a one-car delegation con
taining Miss Good Neighbor and re
porters and photographers will visit
the town some time that day to pay
an official call on the Mayor and then
go into the shopping area to distribute
the Good Neighbor cash to unsuspect
ing residents.
These $5 certificates may be used’
toward the payment of merchandise
purchased on October Bth or 9th in
any retail store in Norfolk or Ports
mouth but will not be accepted ns
payment for mail orders, as a de
posit on time payment merchandise, or
on payment of accounts. It is trans
ferrable, however, so that if the re
cipient cannot use it she can give it
to a friend or relative to bring to Nor
folk and Portsmouth.
Good Neighbor cash totaling SISOO
will be given away in twenty-three
Virginia and North Carolina towns-
In addition, SSOO in $1 certificates will
be given away to shoppers in Norfolk
and Portsmouth on October Bth and
9th.
North Carolina towns to be visited
include: Murfreesboro, Rich Square,
Scotland Neck, Tarboro, Williamston,

No quality is rarer than true bene
volence; even those who imagine they i
possess it are generally merely of a j
weak or complaisant nature.
