Mr. Weimar Jones, Editor
THE FRANKLIN PRESS,
Franklin, N. C.
Dear Weimar:
Having been a rather consistent and per
sistent advertiser in the columns of your
valued publication during the past few
years, I have wondered every now and than ,
if it really paid.
*
On th^ 21st of last month I advertised a
property in THE FRANKLIN PRESS that was
owned by Neil Childers and wife. At 9:30
that same morning I had a phone call from
Robert N. Walker of Jacksonville, Florida,
inquiring about the property I had adver
tised. I made an appointment with him, drove
him and his wife out to inspect the property,
and SOLD it to them that SAME MORNING!
i . ?
I also had seven additional inquiries from
this ad.
Being a firm believer in "Giving Credit
Where Oredit Is Due", I Just want to say,
and most emphatically, -- that consistent
advertising in THE FRANKLIN PRESS really
does pay!
THE FRANKLIN PRESS is Read, not Skimmed!
Cordially yours,
TED REBER, Realtor.
I l
The letter above speaks for itself . . .
Advertising in The Press DOES pay!

Your Farming Future
Research and education must
lead the way in developing oar
agriculture. Research has al
ready contributed enoromusly to
both farming and (arm people.
Research in corn hybrids and
cultural practices has increased
our corn yield from 19 to 40
bushels per acre.
Research and education on
improved pasture has Increased
the acreage In the state from
500 acres in 1945 to over 700,
000 acres in 1950.
Increase in the efficiency of
the broiler business has develop
ed this industry from a million
dollar business in 1940 to over
thirteen million dollars in 1950.
The development of a bird to
produce a fast developing broil
er has created the hatching egg
industry which leads all other
industries In Macon County.
Research in breeding, feeding
and management of livestock I
has placed our dairying and
beef cattle business in an en
viable position.
There are still needs for ad
ditional research:
1. Disease and insect control
for practically every crop we
grow and for our various live
stock enterprises.
2. The development of new
and Improved varieties of crops.
3. More efficient use of plant
food on every type of soli.
4. More efficient methods of
food processing and better nu
trition.
creasing the efficiency of our
marketing systems.
To carry on this research It
takes money. That Is the rea
son for the Nickels for Know
How program.
On Saturday, November 3, all
persons using feed and fertiliz
er will be given an opportunity
to vote on whether they are
willing to contribute five cents
per ton on the feed and ferti
lizer they buy to research. This
money will be added to the cost

License In *47? Better '
Check On Expiration 1
All persons who were Issued
driver's license In 1947 are ask
ed to check the expiration dates
of their licenses.
Examiner R. V. Hooper said
this week that a number of per
sons have let their licenses ex
pire without realizing It, caus
ing themselves a lot of unnec
essary trouble.
In some cases, the examiner
pointed out, drivers have been
fined for driving with out-dated
licenses, when actually they did
not know that they had expired.
Mr. Hooper is In Franklin on
Wednesday and Thursday of
each week in the clerk of court's
office at the courthouse.
- State College Hints
To Farm Homemakers
Sweaters are available In a
variety of styles, colors, and
materials, it is always an ec
onomy to select well-construct
ed washable sweaters. Washable
sweaters of any material re
quire the same washing care as
; dresses and blouses. Use a mild
soap. Lukewarm water gives
protection to sweater colors.
Quick drying is important.
Don't wash unless the label says
the dyes are colorfast. The chief
cause of woolen shrinkage is
water too hot and excessive
rubbing. Squeeze suds through
garment, rather than rub.
Wash sweaters frequently. Do
not soak. For soiled portions ,
around collars or cuffs, apply
soap directly, rub and squeeze
gently.
Wash sweaters quickly and
gently. Do not rub or twist.
Rinse thoroughly in luke warm
water.
Dry quickly. Roll in clean bath
towel, kneading to remove ex
cess water. Unroll at once. In
