Incorporation
of Frigidaire
Company
NEW YORK, Sept. 16 ? A
new General Motors subsidary
Frigidaire Corporation, has
betn incorporated under the
laws of Deleware, to take over
distribution and sale of electric
refrigerators manufactured
by the Delco-Light company.
This subsidiary has
been created to segregate the
electric refrigerator from the
electric light plant busings of
the Delco-Light company.
Permanent officers and di
? r%
ici'iuis ui rrigiuaire cupulation
will be practically the
same as those of the Delco
Light company, which Ls headed
by E. G. Biechler, president
and general manager, with
headquarters at Dayton, Ohio, i
"Tremendous growth of the
electric refrigerator industry,
which Firgidaire holds the
leading position- and encouraging
prospects for the future of
this business, makes separation
of the two enterprises desirable"
said A. P. Sloan, Jr.
president of General Motors.
The Delco-Light company
will continue to manufacture
an dsell electric farm light and
power plants and water pressure
systems.
Frigidaire and Delco-Light
manufacturing operations are
to be completely separated under
the plan announced. Delco-Light
will be provided with
jnew factory space, leaving Fri
gidaire the present plants with i
53 acres of floor space in use
and under construdtion. When
new buildings are completed
iFrigjdaire will have a capacity

Tryon Water
A Great Asset
Recently Mr. Brown, became
t Trvonitc. expressed before a
neeting of the Chamber of
^omerce his approval and enjoyment
of our pure soft water.
The rain-fall in the past six
veeks has made the supply of
,vat or from our old watreshed
ulequate for all purposes. This
shed supplies a water particularly
free from pollution as
ias ueen snuwu uy iiuiuciuua
"eports from the State Labora:ory
of Hygiene. At present
ill the water being used by the
Town is being drawn from this
ihed. In order to guard against
lccidental contamination this
water is being chlorinated according
to the requirement of
the State Board of Health.
Weekly tests are being made
iy the State Laboratory of Hy?eine
and the reports may be
<een at the office of the Town
Manager.
The North Carolina State
Board of Health is fully alive
to the danger lurking in imnire
water supplies. No new
tvater sheds can be used until
sanctioned by them.
Our Town Manager keeps in
touch with this Board thryugh
its Hendersonville representative.
This representative is wel
Iposted as to the location and
condition of our new water
sheds.
Little Falls Creek water shed
which has no human habitation
m it ran nrobably be added to
lur present supply without
much delay other than being
assured by he Laboratory that
the water is pure. This addition
to our present supply will
afford an abuandant supply of
water at all times for Tryon
and its Suburbs "as is", also
for a long period of time after
the shed from Big Falls creek
has become available.
Big Brails Creek shed is inhabited
at present but the residents
there have been ordered
to move and as soon as practi:able
all human habitations on
this shed will be destroyed and
nature will be allowed to begin
preparation of the shed for our J
use.

These two makes of cars I

the owners of these fine cars
and the prospective buyers
this feature alone should come
as great news.
The new firm is now located
in the building that was heretofore
used as the Chrysler display

Some of your correspondent's

.. Also, with regard to the present

With the ever increasing

t is of vital importance that

vhere violation of traffic rules

lappens to be just where it is

! SERVICE
When the Lanier Club begins
the fall season, it can congratulate
itself on the splendid
condition of the Library.
All during the summer woricers
have been occupied in classifying,
cataloguing, mending
and putting in a new system of
charging. The activities were
under the direction of Miss
Mary Carpenter who has had
years of experience in Libraries
in this country and in Hawaii.
Nothing could have been
more fortunate for the Club
than to have Miss Carpenter
living in Tryon at the time
when this reorganization was
imperative on account of the
growth of the Library.
The system of classifying
now is the Dewy decimal used
in all standard libraries. Hie
new charging system makes
possible quicker service and a
more exact knowledge of what
books are available. Borrowers
will no longer need a card
of their own but can always
tell when the book is due by
the back of each book.
The classifications have (also
been changed so that Jetaera
interested in .-i .spRrfai^iubjfe>t^> *^v"
are able to secure all available
reference books with ease.
Miss Carpenter had the help
for a month of a trained library
worker Miss Nannie Helm
who gave a big lift in the early
stages of this re-organization.
all assistance except
UI11V/V/ I/11UV IV?J Mk/wa>vv^..w.
Miss Carpenter's has been voluntary
and throuvh the hot
days these good friends have
typed, written, pasted and
glued with a devotion that
should win the thanks of all
who use the Library.
Among the members of this
committee were Mr. and Mrs.
Whittlesey, Miss Maud McKeb
lar, Miss Mae Flentye, Miss
Helen Stearns, Mrs. Kilpin,
Mrs. Charles Wilson, Miss Rose
Wilcox, Miss Ferdinanda Poppe,
Miss Clare BeH.
The Library Committee under
whose direction the work
was undertaken 1 consists of
Miss Helen Steams, Chairman,
Mrs. Andrew Law, Miss Mae
Flentye. Mrs. E. jE. Missildine
and Miss Mima Fassett.
The estimated cost of these
changes was one thousand dollara
and a larce cart of the
sum has been raised by voluntary
subscription. Several hundred
remain yet to be paid. AH
users and friends of the Library
who have not yet contributed
are urged to send in large
or small sufris so that they
may have their share in this
fund. As soon as the fund is
completed th,e names bf the
names of the donors will be
acknowleded.
The out of town friends and
members of the Lanier Club
have been particularly generous
and responsive. Such peoople
as Mrs. Edward Emerson
Miss Browditch although they
have not visited here for several
seasons sent checks with
letters of appreciation of what
the Library had meant to them
and to the community.
Founded at least two dicades
ago, the Library has been en
tirely supported by the Lanier
Club. The members have never
asked nor received any support
from the town or from
the business interests. From
a few hundred volumes, it has
grown to five thousand of the
best books. Intellectual people
and scholars who needed books
of reference have expressed
surprise and pleasure at the
assistance they have found in
well chosen volumes. New
