TO HOLD REVIVAL
Rev. George Partridge, pastor
r r
has
announced that his church will
hold a revival meeting beginning
Sunday, July 24 and ' lasting
through July 31. Mr. Partridge
states that he has more informa
tion on this revival for the peo
ple next week.
A large crowd from the
rounding community came to at
tend the formal opening of the
iAr ccLdiSuA}^
m., with tne urn customers in
the community being a hungry
crowd of school children who
ryme to get their “free ice-cream”
promised by the management.
Everyone, as they came in, was
invited through the store to view
and inspect the store’s ultra-mod
ern equipment, including an 18-
foot soda fountain featuring
everything in the way of com
plete functionalism and styling.
A complete array of all-mod
ern appliances make the fountain
and back-bar a device which lacks
for nothing when it copes to pre
paring anything to delight the
palate of both young and old.
The complete stock of mer
chandise within the store itself
was then exhibited to the people
who came to look. E. T. Bowen
and Fred Ogburn, Jr., escorted
the crowd through the store
pointing out the many prominent
features of this establishment
which has come as the answer to
the long-standing dream of the
Blaney community.
Cameras, clocks, cosmetics,
plastic goods and notions of every
description make this store as
complete as anything in the coun
ty. Toilet articles, shaving equip
ment and a complete line of to
baccos and magazines help put a
finished aspect to the selection
and arrangement of this complete
stock. ,
Blaney’s drug store also has
what is probably the only ar
ranaement of its kind in the coun
ty. There is a doctor's office in
the rear with waiting rooms and
an installation of medical and
surgical equipment wheih is the
last word in bringing modern
medical qcience into a country
community.
The prescription department,
another complete unit, is within
ten feet of the doctor’s desk.
There is a complete examination
table which Can be utilized for
emergency operations. There is an
instrument cabinet, sterilizer and
dressing cabinet, plus a brand new
X-ray machine.
These units, the prescription de
partment and the doctor’s quar-
teres, were what really took the
crowd’s eye. Among those attend-

The Senator asked Mr. Bowen

Mr. Bowen then asked if the
