.P«9«6 KINGS MOUNTAIN HEMiLD. KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. Thursday, May 27, 1965 Tl« Senior Citizens Observance Set Every 20 seconds another A- merlcan becomes a senior citi- aen, joining the nearly 19 million men and women ewiw over 65. Each year this total increases by IH million people. May has been daelgrated as Senior Citizens Month by President Johnson to recognize the accomplishments and needs of this rapidly grow ing segment of the population, Lex G. Barkley, social security district manager in Gaatonia, re^ ported today. Social eecurity has been in strumental in helping to meet the needs of this group, Barkley continued. More than 9 of every 10 persons now reaching 65 can expect to receive social security benefits, Barkley added. For the past 25 years, since Jantwry 1940 when monthly ben efits were first paid, social secur ity has been providing a base up on which senior citizens could build to insure financial security for themselves after retirement, Barkley commented. Social security monthly bene- flta play a considerable part in maintaining the economic stabil ity of the community. Studies show that senior citi zens spend the greatest part of their social security check in the community for food, clothing, and housing, ‘Barkley emphasiz- FOR HOW LONG IS FURNITURE GUARANTEED? Bt gene TIMM^ The guarantee on any mor- *•*“ only as ?ood as the reputation of the facto5^' who mnkes it and the mer-, chant who sells; it. We are al ways remind(*d TIMMS of the woman who purchased silver - plated flatware which had a 20-year guarantee. After it had tran- ished a year later she discov ered that both the dealer and manufacturer wore out of bus iness. That’s why it's such a good idea to deal with a reputable store that handles merchan- iise from reputable factories. This is especially important when you buy furniture. You only buy furniture a few times n Vour life, and you spend more than a few dollars for it. Therefore, you rightly ex pect furniture to be long-last ing. The best bet that the Turniture you buy will be of good quality — and that any complaints will be taken care of — is to buy from a good dealer. Incidentally, there are cer tain things in this busines.*-’ which arc not generally guar- anteed. Unle.ss specified other wise, there is not guarantee on the wear or fading of floor covering.s, draperies or uphol stering fabrics. These items cannot be guaranteed for a specific length of time because the life of fabrics depends on the proper care, cleaning and exposure to the sun. But a reputable merchant knows that he can only re main in business with satis fied customers and he will therefore always try to do whatever it takes to keep them satisfied.
