Aberdeen, North Caroliiia Page Seves Made in North Carolina Goods Are Equal or Superior to Others Reports from June Campaign of Home-Made Products Are Gratifying Goods manufactured in North Car olina are equal to or superior to simi lar goods made elsewhere, according to the unanimous opinion of merchants taking part in the sec,ond “Made in North Carolina” campaign held dur ing the first week in June. “This opin ion completely upsets the (Old idea held by some people that goods man ufactured just around the comer are not equal to those made in some dis- ■ant city” commented Director J. W. Harrelson of the State Department of Conservation and Development, in whose department reports from mer chants in regard to this campaign are now being received. During the special week in June gO|Ods made in North Carolina were labelled and displayed along with iiierchandise from the four corners of the earth. Casual visitors, purchasers, and experienced sales people thus were given anr opportunity to make all <5orts (Of comparisons. The answers of merchants in summing up opinion on this point ranged all the way from the simple assertion that North Car olina-made goods compared faVjOrably with those made elsewhere to such aggressive statements as “None su perior/’ and “some of our best mer chandise is made in North Carolina,” according to Colonel Harrelson. Campaign a Success As was the case at the first made in North Carolina week held in 1930, the event this year not only attracted customers but put money in the tills jof those who pushed the sale of home made goods vigorously. Trade associa tions secretaries and merchants alike were pleased with the way the cam paign was received this year and ex pressed a desire to see the move ment continued “not only because it means a greater consumpti,on of goods This is News Lots of Us Have Lost Our Shirts, But Thief Gets Away with J. F. Rhyne’s Pants It’s getting so these days it isn’t news if a fellow loses his shirt. But if he loses his pants, that’s different. This is news, Q. E. D. J. L. Rhyne’s house in Aberdeen was entered the other night when Mr. Rhyne was asleep. When he awoke in the morning and started to dress, he qouldn’t find his trous ers. Diligent search failed to re veal them. Then it was discovered that the house had been entered during the night. The trousers were gone, but that wasn’t the worst of it. In the pockets was Mr. Rhyne’s money. manufactured in the State but because it seems to be making our merchants and our consumers more State con scious,” as one Secretary wrote. Ideas as to how make the cam paign more effective another year differ somewhat, according to the re plies coming to the department. Most merchants expressed the opinion that m^ore promotional work needs to be done by the manufacturers. These suggestions may be summed up in the following statements: more advertis ing, labelling all goods as being made in North Carolina, and taking steps to make manufactured articles more readily available to wh^olesale and re tail stores in the state. Some of the merchants were frank enough to say that retailers needed to put more force behind their efforts F|0 as to make “Made in North Carolina week” more interesting to buyers. “A sim- placard placed in the show window is not enough to build a successful sales campaign on,” wr|Ote one merchant. boro spent Sunday and Monday with Mr. Ray’s mother, Mrs. D.
