TURNER AND WILLIAMS TiARAGE TelephoneJ737 Trade St. Behind The Paragon. Rev. E. N. Crowder Has Vacation North Native Minister Of Cleveland Tells Of Vacation Oranted By His Congregation. The following from Rev. E N. Crowder, a native minister of Cleve land will Ire rend wit'll Interest by his many friends: At my third quarterly conference which met May 19, my people voted me a vacation of two weeks that I might with my family make a little visit north. So we all motored via Durham, Richmond, Va ... Washing ton, Baltimore and on to Wilming ton. Del. which trip we made with out. stopping except to get gas and lunch. We were on the road Jit hours. Our daughter, Mrs. W. H Colvard, lives there and we went to visit, them. My car measured the distance to Ire 525 miles. Two of our daughters did the driving. It was a much needed rest at that time and so I used the op portunity to that end. I sure do thank the officials of the Salisbury circuit for tills respite and especially Brother L. J. Cluiz who suggested that 1 be given this vacation. After a few flays oi rest,, wc vis ited some places of interest. One morning we took a boat and sailed up the Delaware river to Philadel phia. taking a look through the Wannamaker building. Then we went out to the zoological garden where we had picnic dinner. There we saw all kinds of animals, fouls, birds and reptiles that live in the water, on land and in the air. While we were picnicking, there came in several school teachers from the city, bringing In their grade of youngsters. But one thing attracted my attention was a mixed grude of negroes and whites. I watched them march by, two and two and there went bv two boys of about eight summers with their arms around each other. This was rattier striking to a man from the south. 1 said this may do for Penn You'll Appre< ialo Its Worth sylvania, but it won'twork in Dixie. The boat ride on the river was fine. On our return there were some two hundred passengers. One afternoon, my good friend. Fred Bally whom I married in Alexander county some years ago, finding I was in his city, came and took me and others to Valley Forge which is an historic place way up In Pennsylvania. People from over the U. 8. visit this place. In the chapel which was erected to the memory of Washington, a man was explaining many things done by the different states in memory of the past. I noticed that there were fif teen bells in the chimes. I asked why the 15. He said the 13 repres ented the original states. One more was added for the anthems and the state of Ohio wanted to add anoth er. Another place of much interest was hangwood botanical garden be longing to one of the DuPonts. This is 12 miles out from Wilmington. To say this is a dream does not ex press it. It contains eight, hundred acres. Some of it is well trimmed forest, but much is shrubbery and flowers of every kind and the plots laid out in such a way that when among them, you are reminded of the garden of Eden. The green houses contain all kinds of flowers and tropical fruits. Mr. DuPont has 250 men employed to take care of it and keep It up The lakes and foun tains are wonderful. When our two weeks were up as much as we enjoyed our stay, our hearts turned back to Dixie and we were glad to go. When we reached .Salisbury one of the girls said, "Salisbury never did look so gooo before.” T am glad to be back with mv flock and serve them as best I can. When we reached home, we found that the good people of Granite Quarry had been in the parsonage and had given us such a pounding of good things for the pantry that it will take quite a while to consume them. But this is so much like these dear Granite Quarry Methodists. May the good Lord help us to serve them in the very best way. Granite Quarry, June 9 Mrs. Crabtree Now Visiting In County 'Special to The Star > Friends of Mrs. C. M. Crabtree who motored from Tampa, Fla., two weeks ago\eUL be interested to know is spending part of her time with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hal B. Greene of Boiling Springs.

TRY STUB WIT ADS SHWMfeOtmm YEARS AGO - STANDS ALONE TODAY "Chrysler came into a seemingly cro**ciech motor oar market and almost overnight swept its way into unprecedented acceptance as a quality product. + + Wiry? Because Chrysler brushed aside outworn traditions in engineering, in design, and in performance. ' *. {* • kbfowght to bear both scientific exactness and artistry. + + That is why Chrysler bdS.£dj^GQ th-C cpuntfy by storm—why it still stands and will long stand alone.” —AdvertMcment l rter«ry Digest December^ 1924 CHRVSLER'S PLACE IN THE SUN Prior to five year* ago there were no Chrysler motor cars. In five years, Chrysler, from a standing start, has overtaken leading cars of three, four and five times its age. The spectacle of a newcomer so swiftly becoming a leader can bring the logical mind to but one conclusion: There must be something remarkable, some thing altogether different and superior, in the cars that Chrysler builds. There is a definite superiority in Chrysler cars. Hundreds of thousands of motor ists the world over have learned it. There is in Chrysler performance, a thrilling sense of endless power, a swift eagerness of life and spirit, a restful feeling of perfect balance and positive safety that cannot be experienced ex cept in a Chrysler car. There is in Chrysler design artistic freshness and modern charm. There is in Chrysler riding qualities a smoothness, a cradled restfulness quite without counterpart. Drive a Chrysler car today and realize, better than words could ever tell you, why Chrysler has won so glittering a place in the sun—and why Chrysler goes on and on to an cver-increasing popularity and prestige.

C. r % In The Motor And Business World _ jj Points To Consider In Refrigeration When choosing an electric refrig erator, says the Christian Science Monitor, there are a number >f things which you should consider. First of all, be sure to buy one whose dependability has been prov rd by a number of years of actual use. Some concerns have machines which have seen more than a de cade of service and are now being used in many thousands of homes under all sorts of conditions. Such machines are backed by reliable companies, who may be depended on to give you good value for your money. Be sure uinr your local ueaier r> ii man of standing, who under stands how to install the machine he is selling and who has the repu tation of giving good service to his customers. Like your automobile, O' an oil burner, a refrigerator will need some servicing as the years roll on The best machines now be ing sold require little service and repairs, because adjustments can be made right in your home and on ex pensive factory service is necessary at any time. Ask the dealer to tell you the names of people who have used the machine he is selling and find out front them whether their machines provide quick refrigeration so that it does not tnke long for the temp erature in the Ice box to lower to 50 degrees after the door has been opened to take out or put in food Find out from them the average operating costs of their machines Some use surprisingly little cur rent, as It is used rally when oper ating. Remember that the simple1 the machine the better it is, other thing? being equal, for there are less parts to operate and keep in repair. New Ford Finance Company Organized One of tile developments of the past year which created national Interest Ln both automotive and fi nancial circles was the organization of Universal Credit company for the purpose of financing exclusively the time sales of Ford products thru out the country. Ultimately service of a similar nature will be provid ed in all countries where Ford pro ducts are sold. Universal Credit company is a specialized financial Institution created to provide uniform and au thorized time payment plans at low cost for the purchase of Ford pro duct* on an installment basis. The company in the first year of busi ness Just closed has made sound and gratifying progress. The recep tion accorded the authorized Ford finance plans by the public and Ford dealers in the 21 large cities where branch offices have been es tablished is indeed impressive. Today UCC has purchased instal ment contracts in excess of $75, 000,000 which establishes a new rec ord in installment financing for an institution which has only been ln operation for one year. It is antici pated that the volume of business handled will exceed $25,000,000 monthly from now on. In the short space of a year, the UCC organiza tion has grown from an organiza tion of ten people to one employing almost a thousand. NeW Addition Aids Oldsmobile-V iking Election of another new addition to the Oldsmobile-Viking factories —a mammoth sheet metal plant— Is announced by I. J. Reuter, presi dent and general manager of Olds Motor Works. The building will be 180 feet wide and 500 feet in length, and will materially increase the productive facilities of all sheet metal operations. With this latest addition to the Oldsmobtle-Vikin'g factories, more than 1.000.000 square feet of new floor space will have been con structed since the summer of 1027.

Goodyear Ha* New Plant In Alabama "Opening of the new Goodyear tire plant at Gadsden, Ala., marks an impressive forward stride In the Industrial development of the south It is significant of our future that the world's greatest rubber com pany sees In the south its best op portunity for expansion." These are the words of the Hon Bibb Graves, governor of Alabama, in commenting on the celebration of Southern Goodyear day tomor row. The new plant is the fourth .mauufacturins investment of the Goodyear company in the south, tn addition to many distribution and branch establishments. The com pany already operates a 50,000 spin dle tire textile mill at Cedartown, Ga., is building another 50,000 spin dle mill at Rockmart, Ga.—and re cently purchased a third 50,000 spindle mill at Atco, Ga. Governor Graves’ statement was wired today by Supt. F. A. Steele of the Gadsden plant, to Smith's Garage, Goodyear dealers at Fall ston. "Southern Goodyear day is a bus iness celebration," says W. L. Smith of the Smith garage, "but it has a real interest for car owners, too. "This is the first time a major tire company has actualy built tires In the south. It means a lot, we think, that it is the one tire com pany that commands outstanding leadership in the industry. You will see that where Goodyear points the way, others will follow. I make that as a prediction—and want you to check me up on it. Just watch." Chevrolet Ha* May A* It* Biggest Month Detroit, June 11.—May was the biggest month in the history of the Chevrolet Motor ^company. Produc tion for the month totalled 161,214 cars and trucks, breaking all rec ords.
