Sale of Christmas
Seals Falls Short
Of Goal In County
The annual sale of Christmas
seals in Transylvania county has
exceeded $200 and when all re
ports are in it is believed that
the sale may reach the $300 mark.
The county quota was $500 and
one'reason for not reaching this
goal was attributed to the fact that
a sufficient quantity of seals for
the schools did not arrive, Mrs. C.
Y. Patton stated. Mrs. E. F. Tilson
is treasurer. The Boy and Girl
Scouts aided in the sale.

New Year Greetings!
EACH YEAR as we observe the holiday season, we are reminded
of the many things for which we should be thankful. We remember
innumerable instances of your good faith and good will and we recall
the countless courtesies and favors with which we have been blessed
and of the friendships, tried and proven, that have been ours to enjoy.
MINDFUL of these fine tokens of friendship, and of the thoughtful
ness back of them, we desire to express sincere New Year wishes to each
of you. While it is true that our business is of nation-wide scope and few
of our customers reside in the county, still we appreciate the business
Transylvania county people have given us during the past year, and it
is among them that we have formed close business and personal relation
ships.
