IT TAKES BIG MEN AND BIG MONEY TO DO BIG THINGS
North Carolina has always had big- men, men capable of doing well whatever they
undertake. Many of them have worked wonders in developing other sections. For a long
time North Carolina dM not have much money and her peop4 sent the larger portion of
that out of the state.
■ j
U , , DID Y°U EVER stop to think
How much North Carolina has contributed in big men and money to develop other sec
tions ot the country? In recent years we have opened our eyes and begun to realize the
necessity of keeping our men and money at home to develop our own state, and she has
begun to blossom like a rose.
Suppose the money paid out by the people of North Carolina for all kinds of insurance
during the last titty years had been kept at home? What a different state we would now
have!

played with ease and poise rendering
the most difficult .pieces with the as
surance which comes of long and per
fect practice. Their technique and
flexibility were much noticed and
these splendid teachers deserve a large
