BUYS AUTO TAGS
WITH $2.00 BILLS
Purchase Made By Mrs. Al
len Brittain. Tags Sales
Are Lagging
Two dollar bills, with their
corners good, are good. In fact
Mrs. Allen Brittain, of Brevard,
says two dollar bills are good even
when the corners are missing.
Mrs. Brittain, whose husband
was for a number of years a part
ner in the B&B Feed and Seed
store here but is now with Uncle
Sam’s naval forces, bought her
auto license tag last week with
two-dollar bills, three of which had
the corners as nice and square as
you please.
,This is the eighth year that Mr.
and Mrs. Brittain have bought
[their auto license with bills of the
$2 denomination. They save each
bill of the $2 class until license
buying time, and are always among
the first to purchase tags. *
Manager C. M. Douglas, of the
local branch Carolina Motor Club,
says that tag sales are lagging,
and that some people fail to un
tderstand just how to secure the
new plates. The 1944 registration
or long white card is all that is
necessary. In event the white card
has not been received, the 1943
pocket card or title is evidence
sufficient to secure the new plate
which is to be attached to rear of
the car or truck.
