Firms of Sylva
JACKSON CHEVROLET CO.
The Jackson Chevrolet Company
has justly earned it? reputation as
being the leader in the local motor
world. This reputation has. come to
them through the oars they sell, the
repair jobs they turn out and the
manner in which they live up to
every promise they make. Whether
it is an automobile you buy from
them or only a quart of oil you are
sure to get your money's worth. This
firm is financially responsible and
this materially adds to the strength
of their guarantees. The Chevrolet
has a national , reputation, but in
Jackson County the fact that a car
lias been purchased from David H.
Brown means mo'%* than any promises
any factory can make. This firm has!
proven to the peopiw by their square,
dealing that anything bought from
them is right and if there is an error
anywhere it is of the head and notj
of the heart. They have out distanced
eoirV|H'tition What is the price of a
Chevrolet coupe delivered here? Of
the sedan ? How many different mod
els of Chevrolets do they sell?
PARIS DEPT. STORE
The department stores {aro the
trade drawers in any town or city.
In Sylva the name Simons stands
at the very head in the mercantile
world. If there is anything needed
for the family he has it. There is
another feature to this, store and
this is the slogan of the square deal,
this- is a same priced store and the
goods that are sold you are never
shoddy or shelf- worn Mr Simons
knows the mercantile business hav
ing made a life work of it and his
dealings with the 2><>ople of this
section have been such that the
name The Paris is a guarantee that
the goods within are of the very
best quality This store means much
to Sylva because of the manner in
which tho?ji who trade there are
treated They come into the store as
a customer and out as a friend Mr.
Simons is always there to see thaf
his friends s;et service, fair prices and
good goods. 1 low long has this store
been there? What hosiery do they
feature? What shoes are their leader?
SYLVA DEVELOPMENT CO., INC
When you outer the office of John
Morris you not only go where you
c.ui buy an insurance policy but you
enter an office where you will meet
a friend and a man who is always
doing his share to keep Sylva and
Jackson County at the very fore
front in the commercial world. Mr
Morris believes that the field of the
insurance man is broader than just
selling insurance. He feels that it
is his duty to aid his fellowmnn both
in a moral sense and in a business
way. In fact it is this method which
the real insurance man follows that
is today placing this profession on!
the high plane it oecupys. Mr Mor-j
lis represents only companies that
are sound and whose standing in the!
financial world cannot be questioned.
These are the things which have |
made him the very leader in the I
local insurance field. His broad mind
and keen insight are responsible for
his success in life. How long has he
been identified in Jackson County?';
How long has, he sold insurance?1
How many kinds of insurance does;
he sell ? How many companies does he
represent!
THE MAN STORE
The Man Store may well be call
ed "The store with a conscience."
Do unto others as you would have:
them do unto you has been the motto:
here since the store first began busi-j
ness. If an error is made it is of}
the head and not of the heart, and
Mr. Cathey is always glad: to make'
it right He carrys a select line of
Merchandise for men, all standard
reputable brands, both for dress and
for work days. The selection here j'
is a large one so that every class
of trade may be satisfied. His com
plete new line is ready for inspec
tion. His- prices arc in line with your
l>ocket book. The clothing bought
here stands the test in texture and
in wear. You are not taken advantage
of in any manner or "form. It pays(
to trade here because you are doing!
business with a neighbor who has
both a heart and conscience. Who J
does the buying for his store? What
men's suits does he feature? What
shoes? What Shirts? What Hats?
GRADY'S CAFE
Cleanliness, and service are the
two things which have made Grady's
Cafe the popular 0:10 in Sylva. Here
you are not overcharged and you
are served with the kind of foodi
that you get at ho me. When you
sit at the counter here you find ev
erything in apple pie order. You- are
ntet with a ^milei and the owner
sees that your every want is looked
after. You do not have to wait when
you come here for your order. It
is given attention at once Mr Craw
ford means much to Sylva because
on the cafe the ti^velling public
forms its opinion of the community.
If prices are too high or if the cafe
is not clean they go away displeased
and the word is passed that yourj
city is not a live one. The jiatrons
of Grady are always well pleased and'
this means good advertisement for
every one. If you are not a customer |
of this cafe now is a good time to i
. I
try a meal there. Who owns, this
cafe? llow long has he been in bus-;
iness here? What coffee does he we?;
THE LYRIC THEATRE
The moving picture theatres are
not only just places to pass an hourj
or two of pleasure. They are educa- (
tional institutions The people ol 1
Sylva are indebted to Mr. l'/?rr> |
Buchanan for having a theatre where j
the very best pictures are always
shown. Parents know that they may
send their children there without
fear of their seeing something on
the screen that is of a nature that:
would bend the twig the wrong way.
Every show brought to the Lyric
theatre is of a high type. The comics
are really funny and not of the slap
stick kind. The feature pictures car
ry a lesson and are selected with
utmost care so that the very best !
screen actors are seen and the plots
not only entertaining but realistic.
The prices are always in reach of
the pocket book although the pic-,
turcs are the high priced ones. Who
is the favorite screen actor shown
here ? What picture will be shown
on Monday and Tuesday? What com
pany's pictures does the Lyric the
atre show?
YTOLFE CAFE
The cleanliness of the food, (lie
the excellency of the service and the
j?ersonality ol' the owners have made
the Wolfe Cafe a general favorite i
with ?vll. Mr Clctvk know.*, how t-o '
treat his customers in a way that
makes him friends and brings thcm|
back to him. He has a winning man- 1
ner, lie knows how to prepare lood j
that ap]>cals to an appetite and his i
prices are right. Mr Clark has made
,? success ol' his business through
his own ability and by his own ef
forts. His business is increasing each'
week because the travelling public!
is learning that he has the best place
in this section to get their lunches |
and their meals. Hut he is not de-i
pendent on this alone because file
home folks also know how good his
food is. and how low his prices. How
long has he been in this business?
What coffee does he feature? What
hours is this restaurant open?
JACKSON COUNTY BANK
Probably the strongest institution]
doing business in 'Jackson County!
is tbe Jackson County Bank. It is;
a state institution and has the inter-!
est of the people vitally at heart:
M. I) Cowan, who is the local man
ager, lias, shown in man}' ways that
this institution is at all times ready
to do its share for this section. By
his able business methods and his
sterling character he has won foi
this bank a place in this community
that it would be hard for another
institution to fill. This bank is not
too large to give jwrsonal attention
to its customers and it is not too
small to meet their every need. Cus
tomers of the Jackson County Bank
realize that they are doing business
with an institution able to give them1
as. large a line of credit as they de
serve. Depositors and stockholders
kn6w that their funds, are safe with
this bank. How long has Mr Cowan
been the local manager? When was
it established? What were its. re
Kcources on July 10, 1928?
. ECKENROD'S STUDIO
i
Photography is a combination of J
science and art. The perfection ofi
the work depends upo'n the man who
does it Just any one cannot makej
a good photograph. It has taken ex-j
perience and knowledge to enable the
Eckenrod Studio to turn out the real
istic work they do. There is perhaps
no ]>lace in North Carolina where
a more exact likeness can be obtained
than here. Mr Eckenrod has devoted
his brain and his energies exclusively
to this work and as a result he is
able today to please his customers,
as they can be at few places. It is
a real pleasure to visit this studio

his business dealing the big heart j
of Mr. Kckenrod is shown as well

tomer is to be his friend. How long!

BUILDERS' SUPPLY & LBR. CO
The lumber men iire the home
builders of the Nation. On them de
pends the building programs of ev
ery community.' In Sylva, Builders'
Slippy 'and Lumber Company are
the lumber dealers who have and
are serving the community in a man

J. P: STOVALL S FRUIT STORE
The fruit store of .1. I' Stovnll is
one ol the fixtures of Sylva that
benefits everyone because it insures,
the public thai they <*an at all times
get the best and freshest that the
fruit market affords. This store al
ways carries a full stock and the
fact that they buy in quantity lots
enables Mr. Ktovall to sell at a lower
rate than do the stores that buy
just a bunch of bananas or a box
of oranges, lit- keeps in touch with
the 'markets and is at all times pre
pared to serve his friends in a man
ner that few stores can. Mr Stovall
is always increasing his business
as he gives service and never offers
fruits that are decayed and not ab
solutely fresh. This store has become
an integral part of Sylva The owner
is a wide awake business man and
he numbers his friends by his ac
quaintances.. lie stands well in the
business world and is a man whom
every one appreciates socially. He
always has his shoulder to the wheel
for the progress of Sylva. How long
has he been located here? What fruits
does he sell? What other lines docs
he carry?
SYLVA PHARMACY
Honest dealing with the general
public has made a business i'or the
Sylva Pharmacy that is ever on the
increase. In some businesses we find
men changing from the gentleman
to the money shark when they enter
their store, but this is not true in
this favorite drug store. Mr H L
Evans values the opinion of his
fcMo^man more than he does a few
dollars. He is ' always working for
the betterment of his community. '
This is found: in his store because
I
here only the best in drugs arc found ;
Imitations are not in his cases. When '
a prescription is filled here, it is'
filled with tli/o idea of what the
doctor needed for his patient ami not j
with the idea of making a few added)
pennies by substitution. How long
has this store been in Sylva? What
? ? ?
is the highest priced perfume soldi
here? How much is it j>er ounce?
HIGDON MOTOR COMPANY
When you drive a Ford you drive J
the best. When you take your car
to Hagdon Motor Company for ser
vice you get the best. This combina
tion has made for this garage perhaps
the largest list oi' customers of any!
in Sylva. Mr J S Higdon gives close j
attention to his business and lie is j
a man who has a friendly word for
all, who believes in giving his fel
lowman a lift along the road of life j
whenever he can and who in business]
gives value in full for every dollarl
spent with him. His garage is stead-'
ily increasing in the amount of busi
nc.->s done and the friends it makvs. !
The late model cars of the Ford ;
Motor Co, reflects, the mechanical '
perfection this car has always had
as well as new lines showing the
clans" and comfort of the /modern
automobile world. Higdon Motor Com,
pany caK-rs to the best and handles
only the best. To place your business
there means that you will be satis
fied in every way. What is the price
of the New Ford Touring F () B?
Of tlie Coupe? What horse power
