they carry as varied an assort-

quality as can oe louna any

Stick by your own town,
and buy from our own merchants

The fellow who smokes Camels, wants
Camels. That's because Camels have a

Don't let anyone tell you that any other
cigarette at any price is so good as Camels.
Let your own taste be the judge. Try
Camels for yourself . A few smooth, refreshing
puffs and you'd walk a mile for a Camel, too.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
Nine and one half millions for
schools. Any nation, state or
town which spends its money
liberally for schools is bound to
advance by leaps and bounds.
North Carolina cannot be held
down with- such sentiment in its I
borders. It will yet rank, as it ;
ought to do, as the first state of
the nation in every respect. This
expenditure of money for schools !
is significant, and is an assurance
that the future of North Car
olina will be safe in the keeping
ot luture generations.
