Merchants Survey Reveals Shopping Important Matter Staple Articles Are Rarely Bought Out-Of-Town Sur vey Shows Interesting and informative in formation was dug up in a recent check on more than twenty thous and transactions in Greensboro stores. The object was to find out what people buy who shop out-of town and why it is bought out-of town instead of locally. Standard arid staple articles are the least among items purchased | out-of-town. Take groceries for | example, the prices in one com munity are about the Same as , another. There is little inducement I for out-of-town buying. One (Jreensboro store handling import ed and unusual groceries not found in the ordinary grocery store, how I over, reported people coming from a distance of fifty miles and buy ing these items. Obviously the an swer in this case was that these items could not be bought at home. This conclusion probably holds ; good with the majority of mer- ] ohandise so bought. Larger retail j j centers carry larger stocks, more \ ariety and a more complete as- | sortnient of sizes and colors-than-j is possible in the smaller retail centers. 1 I Greensboro merchants in an nouncing the results of the study stated that there was a definite place in the retail distribution scheme for the alert, progressive local retailer in any community. As the largest retailing center of the northern Piedmont section Greens boro fills the position of the over llow shopping center for dis criminating buyers who are unable to find what they want in their own communities. In this respect the modern stores, capable salespeople and friendly merchants of Greens boro believe they are rendering a \ service to the shoppers of near-by communities without in the least damaging the business of retailers in those communities. The amount of out-of-town shopping from any one of the com munities nearby Greensboro, it was pointed out, was not in itself great and would not support a large as sortment of stocks in that com munity, however, the aggregate total of such business from the many smaller cities in the northern i Piedmont area warranted the j carrying of excellent stocks in j Greensboro as the central shopping I center. C. B. Clark Will Manage Asheboro’s Two Movie Houses Coming to Asheboro Sunday, C. B. Clark has already formed a de cided affection for the town, where he has already assumed his duties as manager of the two movie theatres of the town. Mr. Clark is from Columbia, S. C., where he was connected with the Palmetto Theatre Co., managing the Caro lina Theatre at that place. He is experienced in theatre manage ment and is quite pleased with the outlook for the coming movie season. The White Amusement company of which J. Francis White, Jrjs the head, has alreayd booked some extra fine pictures for the near future, according to Mr, Clark. Among the pictures that he is un usually enthusiastic about it, “The Devil Is A Sissy” which stars three boys, Freddy Bartholomew, Jackie Cooper and Mickey Rooney. This is by no meanB a children's picture however, for it deals with delinquency—a universal problem at the moment. “Ramona”, an Indian romance in color is also to come to Asheboro shortly. “Ladies In Love” starring Janet Gaynor, Constance Bennett and Simone Simon is among the coming at tractions. Mr. Clark is using the business office at the Sunset Theatre at present, but plans to have his of ficial headquarters at the Capitol Theatre as soon as possible to get located. Rapid Ascent Of Film Ladder Made By Robert Taylor Robert Taylor is a young man with a future. In his own mind that future w as clear-cut as the facet of a diamond. There is something rather amaz ing about Taylor—and something definitely satisfying. Taylor’s psychology, his outlook on life, are as sound and solid as his preference in nourishment. This in itself is amazing—amaz ing because rapid success has al ways been considered strong medi cine for young men. Satisfying be cause no amount, of polish, no measure of success, can rob Taylor of the stamp of Filley, Nebraska. Which is to say that Taylor is a normal, typical young American. He’s a small town boy. And that’s a compliment. His people are virile middle class, serious, sane arid in telligent. His father and mother were ideally married. His hoYne life was happy and constructive. All these things are a part of Robert Taylor. Taylor is a phenomenon, even for Hollywood., Eighteen months ago, he stood in the portals of Pomona College with a sheepskin in one hand and the world before him.. Today he is the fastest rising personality in motion pictures, male or female. He has just com pleted a role with Joan Crawford in “The Gorgeous Hussy,” which comes to the' Capitol Theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday He recently scored with Barbara Stanwyck in “His Brother’s Wife,” and soon will be Greta Garbo's leading man in “Camille.” Such company is enough to turn the head of nearly any young man. I Not Taylor. Taylor has changed since he made “Crime Doesn’t Pay,” a short subject. His acting is smoother. He wears his clothes better. The poise and honest confidence that attracted a studio talent scout to pick him out of the cast of a col lege play as possible screen ma terial, are still outstanding assets. Here are his own answers, word for word, as to what he thinks of his future. “From time to time I am asked just what I think will be the length of my career. I honestly don’t know, but I judge that it won’t be less than three years, or more than five or six. I have no ambitions, secret or otherwise.
