W. A.44Bill" Bartlett Seeks Albert Pope Candidate For
Comm Post In First District Fifth District Commission
BUI Bartlett
W. A. "Bill" Bartlett of
Bow den is advocating better
roads and more industry in j
making his bid for a position
on the Duplin County Board ,
of Commissioners.
Mr. Bartlett. a candidate in ,
the First District, which inclu
des the Warsaw-Bowden-Faiaon j
Calypso areas, made the fol
lowing statement this week in
launching his commissioner
campaign:
"I am interested in working
for better roads for Duplin
County, particularly for Dis
trict I. We still have dirt roads ,
in District I that our school ,
buses have to travel. Some of
these roads are so narrow in
places that it is necessary for
the bus to pull into a dirveway
to allow an oncoming vehicle
to pass. Better roads are es- ,
seotial if we are to progress in
the manner that we would like
to.
"Also, I am much in favor |
of stepped-up program to at
tract new industry. We are
having more and more of our
young people leave the county
each year. To keep them here,
we have to have good jobs to
offer them. Industry is the an- |
swer to this problem and to
many others such as taxes.
The only way to keep our tax
from going higher is to get
more industries to move in.
This will bring more people,
more income, more tax money
... but at the same time will
help keep our tax rate at the
present $1.65 level, or below.
Along this line, I heartily en
dorse our industrial education
program. An industrial educa
tion school in Duplin County
wfll help to better train our
people and increase local econ
my."
Mr. Bartlett pointed out, "It
is my belief that County money
diould be spent in Duplin
County with local business
houses whenever possible.
Every b usinessman should
have the opportunity to bid on
anything that the County has
to buy and if he can give as
good a price as out-of-county
suppliers, then preference sh
ould certainly be given the lo
cal firm."
A young man well-known th

Company of Bowden for a
number of years and is presen
tly in the insurance business

CONDITIONAL SALES
What is a conditional sales
contract?
It is a type of contract used
by many persons in buying
items of personal property on
the installment plan. It enables
the buyer to get immediate
possesssion of the property on
his promise that he will pay
the full purchase price later
in certain specified install
ments. Although the buyer ac
quires possession, the seller re
tains the title or ownership of
the property until the last pay
ment is made.
Merchants frequently attract
the attention of customers by
advertising the conditional
sales contract security device
as the 'easy payment plan."
"budget plan," "deferred pay
ment plan," or "dignified cred
it plan."

ses one of his payments, may

back?
Yes. If the conditional buyer
fails to make any payment
when it is due, the seller can
repossesss or take back the
property.
If the seller repossess or
takes back the property he can
still sue the buyer for the a
mount of the sales price not
yet paid, less any amount he
gets from a resale of the prop
erty.
