A committee from the [.:? - Club has been appointed to ask ? ? ? rchants of Murphy to take par: ir his campaign. This commit tee ?? its that every merchant yet appi ? -d intimated that his store, tf glad to cooperate and the mov. u nt seems to have met with a . hearty response in Murphy. St - suggestions have been made by " I department of Conservation and development. and the following j statement has been given the press : of the state: "A number of merchants have made reque-' t<. us for suitable placards! ami > for marking "North Caro lina Made Goods" which they are car ? vine ? stock. Unfortunately this P pa tment. hasn't sufficient funds witb w h to carry such a large pro- 1 jert. \Ve hope however that all stores cam any "North Caroliia Made"!

Most stores will i,.i\e someone in their organiza tion who can prepare neat cards even though sueh persons are not show card writers. In some cities and towns, a j number of stores may cooperate with a central committee, perhaps, the ! Chanii ? i of Commerce, Merchants As sociation, or the Civic Clubs Commit tees. in preparing these cards and marker-. The following cards and mark, rs are suggested: ? 1. A sign designating your store as ; Made in North Carolina Store" Th:> r.iay take the form of an emblem t<> In placed in your windows and on you.- <>ors; or a large sign, to be dis play* outside your store or at a suit able t lace in your store. We suggest the * Mowing wording: (a ' "We sell goods made in North ! Carolina." (bj "This is a Made in North Car- ; olina Store" - Smaller signs may be used to designate shelving, tables, show cases *?ndo\vs, etc., where "North Carolina Made goods arc displayed: "Goods on these Shelves were . made in North Carolina." (hi "Goods in this window were' ?Made ir: North Carolina." xt { ' ' "Goods in this show case were ?Made in North Carolina." ?' These same words may be used i to mark goods made in your city, by I substituting the name of your city for' the words "North Carolina." "*? General signs may be placed in ? your store at suitable places bearing i the following or similar words: (h> "Ask for North Carolina made vioods" "Ask for home made goods." tc) "Ask for Goods made in (name of your city)" <d) "Keep your money at. Home "y buying home made goods" (e) "You 'made' your money in r? .. ^ar?lina; Spend it for "North Carolina Made" goods." Ask North Carolina Manufact ures from whom you buy the goods ? P'?ce suitable labels on them, bear >ng the words "North Carolina Made" The shipment of logs and lumber from Toptcn makes it quite busy at times, and there are many tourists passing through and they all enthuse over the fine scenery presented from the I^ook-out on Nantahala Gorge. We think this part of Western North Carolina will attract thousands of the tourists as soon as the highway from Knoxville, Tenn., is connected.

It will pass over theb ig dam at Blue Ridge which is being built by the Georgia Power Company, and will also be a beautiful route full of scen ic attractions. The people of North Carolina and Georgia in the sections through which it is proposed the road will pass have been working on the project for some time and the news that the actual survey of the road in Georgia is un der way will be received by them with great rejoicing.
