Faye's Footwear
and Accessories
What a great deal on a pair of shoes! When I visited Faye's
Footwear and Accessories located in the Dream Maker's Mini Mall on
the Union Chapel Road, I thought / would have to put some money
down and come hack and get my shoes.1 only had a couple of bills in
my pocket Faye got out her calculator and started figuring. Hefore
you knew it, I had a new pair of shoes, at an affordable price! They
were just my kind, too.
In addition, to shoes, Faye has a great line of fabulous T-shirts that
she designs herself. There is an excellent selection in her store.
Faye invites you to visit her and browse through her selection of
shoes, hats, t-shirts and accessories. Faye's Footwear and Accessories
is located in the Dream Maker's Mini Mall and Shopping Center, on
the Union t hope I Road, behind Juke's Con venience Store and Exxon.

Native Herbs & Natural
Foods & a Great Smile
The human body requires complete nutrition. There are herbs and
minerals that are supplied by natural food sources that are necessary
for maintaining a healthy body. ~ ~
One of the best twiys to find out about natural and organic foods is
at Native Herbs and Natural Foods. JoAnn Cummings Furmage,
owns and operates the store which carries a great variety of products
with a selection of vitamins, minerals, natural and organic foods from
an excellent selection from major distributors.
The store alsofeatures a wonderful range of health food snacks and
beverages, just the right "pick me up" for a hot summer day. Most of
all, however, the thing I like best about Native Herbs and Natural
Foods is JoAnn's smile. If you are not laughing when you go in, you
will be laughing when you leave, l aughter is the best medicine and
is certainly foodfor the soul.
JoAnn invites you to come out for all your heath food, vitamin,
minerals, etc. needs. You are encouraged to stop by and try one of her
Sarsaparilla sodas.
JoAnn and Native Herbs and Natural Foods are located on the
Union Chapel Road, Pembroke, adjoining Southern Interiors, and*
across from Jake's Convenience Store and Exxon. (Photo and text by
