Question: Does STAR advertising pay? Answer: The managers of the hew Nifty-Jiffy store told The S»ar: “We put an ad. in your paper one day, and the neXi day doubled the sales. That was our first venture in advertising since we opened up. The expe rience convinced us that ad vertising DOES PAY.” The Nifty-Jiffy is one of the new enterprises of Shelby, con ducted by three well known young men of the city.

In addition j to. this, Mr. Wrigjvt says there is a 1 possibility of extending a line of rad • read front Lawndale into the tinbu* ; lx undary and the establishment of -t i ctesotrng plant at Shelby.

( “The mill the Wright-Bachman I umber comoany put in usi was r small portable band mill and lumber was trucked successfully to Bostic. The real reason for discontinuance id the mill was the death of Mr. Bach mm, nresident of the comnany am1. ! real financial backing.'’ Says. Mr. j Wr’cht, the trustees wo.
