THE STATE OF WILKES.
Wilkes is a mountain county,not on
any of the main-traveled lines of com
munication through the state. Time
was and not so very long ago when
it was regarded as a remote; almost
inaccessible district; and when it was
actually one of the most back-ward
counties in North Carolina. But,- as
Friar Bacon's brass head so sapiently
remarked, "Time will never be again."
Did you reacl that report in Mon
day's Daily News of; the educational,
social and agricultural' survey recent-
y made in -Wilkes? -If ;you are still
aboring under the- impression that
Wilkes is asleep it" will pay, you to
readmit in fact, it, will pay you to
read it anyhow- It will renew your
faith in the capabilities of native
North ". Carolinians, laboring under
heavy handicaps in the way of nat
ural , obstacles.; Illiteracy, in Wilkes
Jias now been reduced to one per cent.
That is a triumph .that; ought to put
to shame all the great, rich counties
of the piedmont " and east, v In the
abolition of gross ignorance Wilkes
has achieved something worth more
than millions of dollars of property.
But the high standard of education
is evidenced by other figures than the
illiteracy statistics.; In two out of
every five homes in Wilkes you will
find, a local newspaper. ; In- jetvery
third home you will find a" farm pa
per. , In every seventh home you will
find a city daay'andchurch paper.
There are 149 rural libraries in Wilkes
and 248 supplemental libraries.! There
are 147 school houses and 148 schools.
And 85 per cent of the children of
school age are enrolled in those' schools
-. In, nearly, . every fourth; home . in
Wilkes county there is a telephone ;
and while ;. only 8 per cent of the
homes haye electric lights, nearly 15
per, cent, are . equipped with running
water. Curiously enough, .only a few
more are screened than hdve; rmning
water about ZO-per cent. -Approx

cents' worth of value for; every dol
lar spent in our establishment; that's
what we offer to our customers; that's
what those who know us best have
. come to realize as the foundation prin-
. ciple of ; this store. First of. all, we,
look to quality the quality that spells "
satisfaction for the long months aftejr
the .sale rather than for the few mo
ments which precede it. Quality as
sured, we try to buy early, enough
and in large enough quantities to get
t our costs to the lowest price and
many years' experience and ample
capital helps up to accomplish this.
Other theories of merchandising may
have advantages. for the customer; but
they are not the advantages our cus
tomers want; so daily our efforts are
concentrated along the lines we' have'
chosen to follow and daily they are
being rewarded by a greater confi
