County Owes Debt Os Gratitude To Downings Burnsville and Yancey County owe a debt of gratitude to George and Phyllis Downing proprietors of The Yancey Coun ty Coun'ry Store —for the very fine publicity given in their beautiful hand printed and hand illustrated brochure, which they have sent to prospective customers throughout the coun try. In it Burnsville and Yancey County a~e given excellent pub licity, with drawings of places of interest, and favorable corn men Ls on each among them being Nu-Wray Inn, Parkway Playhouse, Blue Ridge Parkway, wi h mention of places of inter est in Spruce Pine, Little Swit zerland, Linville, etc. In it are also given short his tories of Burnsville and Yancey ■County, which may be news to even the old residents of the county. It seems ironic but true that new comers often know more about us than we know ourselves. Congratulations, George and Phyllis, on a beautiful work of art, for which we hope and feel sure you will be amply reward ed.
