Quality Means Something .... "It is true people do not talk about the newspaper. They take it lor granted. That does not mean it is not the most effective advertising medium. "People do not talk about milk either; they talk a bout 'Hoopla' the synthetic tongue tingler. But milk is still best. ‘A faithful housewife who daily serves the needs of the whole family is not a very exciting topic of conver sation—but oh brother, that gal down the street who ran off with the undertaker—now there was a dish! "Quality means something. So too does notoriety. But for continued and lasting results, it is the quality of service and the paid readership of the home-town newspaper that brings the surest rewards.” —Horace Greeley Howard, President, New York State Press Association Carolina Mines Buys Machinery The City of Kings Mountain will receive a check for $29,273. 81 within the next few days as their share of the state’s Powell Bill funds.
