iN OUR GROWING,: HUSTLING COUNTY TOWN,
" " " - " '
The people of this se:tion ofjhe
country-have in the past two or thre
r. years shown moire te n d eh cyr toward
order and sysrera, taste knd quality,
culture and refinement than ever be
fore, and tnis fact is being daily dem
ons'rated in various, wavs. P. A. new
order of things is in evidence in every
pat of eastern Caiolina and persist
ent efforts are being made in the in
terests of education; of a
al and social life, of mod
higher mor
ern methods
in business and industrial life. But
there are some instances in which we
arc compelled to notice jthe lack of
advancement, and in mentioning some
of thee we desire to allow ful credit
to those pkOgressive men
who contem
plate improvements, of
are many in this section
Which there
It cannot
be denied that here in our midst the
prevail lag spirit in evejw walk of life
-is one of progress and advancement.
andvyet on the other hand it is an un
deniabl tact J.h at the business world
has not kept apace, with the stridesj
made in other lines, Ve have no
wish for this article to be construed
as applying only to those in our own
town, for we have in mind several
towns and several establshments
in calling attention to some facts
which are not only noticeable " to
our own people j Dut tc strangets and
others wno visit this section of North
Carolina, We have reference :partic
DUrly to the appearancej, both exter
jor and intCi ior of some of :6ur stores,
Merchanta here and elsewhere who
tead this may considerthis none iof
our Business, .whichwe" grant , pnly;in
so far a? it does not affect the public;
then a fi a in they may say thatwe
know nothing of the business of mer
chandising and are not qualified to
' discuss the question; right again but
we are writing from the viewpoint of
the customer, which : is t eally the
t .only point of view to be considered,
, ; ' since no merchant caD make a success
r: upless he, places himself in the - custo
mers place and iearns what is most
. pleasing in aopearance, -quality and
. stock. And our motive is not mere
ly to criticise when we say that the
ti ne has come when old jmethods and
. old stock cannot satisfy the demands
: of a people who are daily growing
more discerning, more cultured, more
fastidious, mere highly educated .
New people want new things and the
ola cross roads genrral store of ev-
. ery tningi imaginaDie can no more
. -satisfy this demand, than one can a
well die&sed man by giving him over
alls when "he asks'for a! tailor-made
suit. The paople have outgrown
such. They know they what want
" r and demand it, and trie, merchant
who persists in selling
-: -sell an impossible mixture of every
.conceiyable kind wfthoilt regard- to
the improving .taste of possible cus
. 7tom'erj5,-is doomed to inevitable fail
ure. . The demandrnow Is for aualitv
for; modern service, for uptodate
goods, and the merchant who attempts
to suoply this class of trade with mo-

it to be cemplete fri every detail and an
absolute success; I cheerfully reccom
mend it to all house wives wishing to do
away with the hardship of ironing over a
hot fire on summer day. Mrs. C. L. Grant
This 'Flat-iron is one of most unique'
inventions of the "age simple, safe and
a monfey saver.-Every man who - loves
his wif e'should buy one for her. There',
is no need of a big hot fire in vthe stove
especially" during the. hot summer. .All
that is 4one away.with. -; This little iron
heats itself. i 'Themother doesn't have to '
mind the children and watch. , the fire at
the. same" time Ironing can be done on
Ihpoarchihthe rsitting, room, any
where - in1 thft' mcA pn n
sucha .pleasure for pleasure it is.
