Benton, ! shown at left, owner of the, firm which does business in many states. In The State Maguatae j : “Dear J. B„" wrote Howard Ben ton. “Don't fret youraelf. When you come home from the Air Corps l you’ll find more chances to work than there were when you left home. In fact, I've got two or three good ideas for you right now.” Benton was writing hit younger brother who is in service, and he knew whereof he wrote, too. Be cause Howard Benton- is like hun dreds of other enterprising young „ Tar Heels who are oontlm tally find ing "vocVnt niches In the economic itoatu'-CKrtUe* anp -wgMMUy occupying them. ~r — LEADER IN IMS FIELD In the space pf ja few years, the Benson man became the movie poster King of the South, a role he created and prooeeded to enlarge until he completely dominates his field. Now in a new plant at Ben son, he turns out the. major, por tion or the window cards so fam iliar to small Southern towns, with *°o regular weekly costumers, and an extra 100 customers for whom he prints theatre programs, throw aways or mailing places. You might correctly guess that there are some trade secrets invol ved in Benton's success, but more important'are elements which he thinks will enable any many in any field to make a success: You. have to work; harder than your compet itor and give better service. Stassen Is In Race For The Presidency WASHINGTON —flh— Harold E. Stassen lauched his second bid for the Republican presidential nomi nation today with the declaration that he is in the race “to atay” re gardless of Gen. Dwight D. Elsen hower's plans. Stassen’s first act a* an avowed candidate was to withdraw his ear lier proposal that he and Sen. Rob ert A. Taft unite to throw the nom ination to Elsenhower, who has not yet said whether he wants it. ’ liberal program Stassen, who like Taft tried for the 1946 nomination and lost it to Gov. Thomas K.

B. Benton, owned Benson’s newspaper and also Its movie. It was natural 1 that young Howard, a printer’s devil in his father’s shop, should print up the posters for the theatre. His first break came when Worth Stew art, who owned two theatres in Dunn, asked him to print his win dow cards, too. Worth Stewart was also an enterprising young man, and he was gradually adding small town movies to his chain, now call ed the Stewart ft Everett Theatres, eventually controlling mtfcwjtog meant anaddbd riistomeM’oMrtow ard’s sideline. ■ “ A Dunn printer turned the idea down, hooting at the idea. He has regretted It ever since. After returning home from the war in which he served as a tor pedoman first class, Benton resumed poster printing. It was pretty good and- in, 1648 it was" so good that he ' bid farewell to the. newspaper and devoted himself entirely to the •peoSuty. . .*-. i MOSTLY IN BMALL TOWNS * By this tttne, Benton had sharp ened up on- toe business.
