LOCAL PROOF THAT BUSINESS IS MUCH BETTER . We read a lot in the newspapers and magazines anent improved busi ness conditions, and sometimes we have doubted the truth of some of the statements, perhaps. Frequently have been exaggerations and Jtjisstatements. Not everything we ' seaa aooui recovery is irue. oeme If grain of salt But to come right down to brass tacks, what we see with our own eyes we may well believe. Right here in Hertford there have been such noted improvement that one has only to look around. One of the- best- indications of what the condition of business is is the character of stock carried by the local merchants. Before the depression the Hert ford stores, particularly J. C. Blanch ard & Company and Simon Ruten berg, carried stocks of high grade ready-to-wear for women. These merchants had sold this class of merchandise for years. During the depression years, notably from 1930, these merchants, feeling the pulse of their public as a successful merchant must,' realized that the 'demand -for good clothes was feeble, that these lines must be discontinued. There were few calls for expensive clothes. Here and there were women, it is true, who could still afford to dress in the manner to which they had been accustomed, but the general public couldn't. For five years this condition per sisted, and Hertford merchants car ried less expensive dresses, coats, suits, hats and shoes. There has been a definite change in conditions. No longer do women call for inexpensive dresses, coats, suits. For Borne time they have been calling for better things. They are buying better things and will have them even if they have to leave home to shop. Right here the. wide-awake mer chant, sensing the situation, is rising to the emergency. Both J. C. Blanchard Company and Simon Rutenberg are enlarging Vll !"'' I .i :ti . ."t smm:i has been railed the 'WAai" THE simplicity of Superfex it tmsring. All you do it light the burner.

W. iy'c'" Mrs. Jake White, popular milliner, is quoted as saying that she expects to get a raise soon. She expects to move her millinery store to the second floor as soon" as the second floor of the building is ready for oc cupancy. They are remodeling the building. Oscar Reed, well-known colored man of Hertford, claimed the pocket- book found recently in the Central Grocery Store by J. E. White, notice of the finding of which by Mr. White was given in this column. Where are the snake - stories? Everybody wants to know. About this time every summer the snake stories begin to come in. Only one has appeared in this column this summer.. A wise old owl sat in an oak, And the more he heard the less he spoke, The less he spoke the more he heard. Why can't we be like that wise old bird?
