The above is a repro ductkm of a painting done for us by Tara Lowry. by brace barton Pembroke?Our official title is the Lumbee Publishing Co., Inc. That is the name of our corporation. We are best known as The Carolina Indian Voice. That is the name of our weekly newspaper. We are the largest weekly (in terms of subscri bers and circulation) in Robe son County. We believe we are an exciting newspaper too. Even those who do not agree with us like to read The Carolina Indian Voice to find out "What the Indians are up to." Another thing we do is provide an office supply and office furniture outlet at rea sonable prices. The name of this facet of our business ? operation is Superior Office Supply. We did have a printing operation but we are in the process of phasing it out. It takes too many man hours to make a dollar and it interferes with the production of The Carolina Indian Veldt. Our brother. Garry, is plan ning to retain the press and accessories and continue to provide quality printing at reasonable prices after hours and on Saturday. He can be contacted, until other arrange ments are made, at our offices here on Highway 711. Our operation is quartered in what waa "The Incredible You Disco."

It's a good location and we believe it will afford us an opportunity to offer better service to our customers. Come and see us. We are still the same folks who were in the old Levi Hunt Hatchery Buil ding. And we're still on Highway 711. We think maybe we might be a little closer to the action. 1 hope so. Come and see us. Our business address (P.O. Box 1075) and our telephone num ber (521-2826) will remain the same.
