MERCHANTS HIT BY NEW SCHEME IN ADVERTISING Several Klizalieth (!ily Bn* inc** Men Fall Victim* ?if Stranger W it li Lock and Key Proposition SKIPPED WITH CASH Vittitur VI' it li Car Hearing Trxw Lifrnw leaven Town Without Haviim Lived lip In Promise* A rain several Elizabeth City mere hunts apparently have fallen victims to a clever adverilftlng scheme promoted by a Mranger In town. According to police, a vl?i Itor driving a Bulck Light Six with a Texas license. and giving his name bh W. J. Slmpnun. breezed In with a proposition to put across a novel publicity stunt collected S 6 each from at leant two local merchants -and breezed out. Simpson claimed to represent the Merchants' Contract Amuse ment Advertisement Company. Ho offered the prospective advertiser 300 keys for 16. and promised to advertise each business at the Alkrama Theater. In addition he was to place a board In front of the theater bearing eeveral locks The keys were to be distributed by the merchant among hla cus tomrs. Anyone whose key fitted one of the locks would receive five gallons of gasoline free, provided he bought u ticket to the movies. So far uh can be learned, the only merchants who "fell" for the proposition were D. F. Webster and Jesse Carter. They received their 300 keys each ? and that was all. According to Shelby Burgess, of the Alkrama manage ment. the stranger opened nego tiations with him for theater ad vertising. but failed to complete them. His present whereabouts are unknown here. The experience of Messrs Carter and Webster is remindful of that which befell a number of. Ellza beth City business men who In vented In a clock advertising ven ture several months ago. These merchants signed promissory notes under the Impression that they were contracts. The promoters of the scheme failed to fulfill their purt of the agrement. but that didn't affect the validity of the notes, and about a dozen local merchants ure paying $13 a month apiece yet, though the clock quit functioning sometime ugo. They are very eager to learn the for warding addresses of the pair who talked them Into the proposition. ROANOKE ISLAND SEEKS NEW ROAD Slate Highway ()<Hnnii?sinii AsUrrt lo Build Exten sion to West Shore A petition asking that the State highway through Roanoke Island, from Manteo to Fort Raleigh, be extended to the western shore of the Island has been forwarded to Highway Commissioner Hart, of the First District, bearing the en dorsement of a number of repre sentative citizens. It Is set forth that the road, as at present con structed. Is far to the east of the Island, and thus leaves a large area on the west side without Improved highway facilities. The petition was forwarded through the Elizabeth City Cham ber of Commerce, and requests the Slate Highway Commtaslon to give consideration to the proposal at once. The preaent road has two branches connecting Manteo with Wancheae and Mill Landing, at the south end of the Island, and the signers of the petition set forth that the west and central portions are entitled to almllar consideration. The proposed extension also would serve people living at Manns Harbor and other points across Croatan Sound from Roanoke la land. It Is explained, alnce It would terminate at a point on the shore almost directly opposite Manns Harbor. Armi**tead Jonen l>rad Ralelgh| Sept 24. ?
