PAGE TWO. THURSDAY. DECEMBER S, IMS. XMASMOKT FOR YOU - Search Your Attic for Fortunes in Old Confederate Envelope* Among the old lerters of nuny South ern families are hundreds of very rare stamps and envelopes. Many have been found and sold for small fortunes. Single envelopes have been sold for us high as 12,000, and many have brought upwards of S100 each. It sounds “fishy,” but It’s true. They are valuable because they are rare. And they are rare, not because there are only a few, but simply because most of them have remained stored away and forgotten, in old trunks and closets. Make a thorough search through your attic or store room for these old war letters. Fortunes in rare stamps or franked envelopes ha v e been found in old trunks which no one ever dreamed contrjned anything of value. Keep the letters if you wish, hut send the en velopes to Mr. Harold C. Brooks. Box 224, Marshall, Michigan, and beVwxll immediately write you, stating their value. In sending them to him you are not obliged to sell unless his offer meets with your approval. Anything not pur chased he will return in good order. Mr. Brooks, who is mayor of his city, is a private collector and has paid thousands of dollars for old envelopes. Although the rare issues are especially desired he also buys manv of the com moner kinds. Many people in this way are getting Christmas money with very Jitile trouble and no expense. The First National Bank of Marshall, Mich., writes: “Mr. Brooks has been in business here for twenty years. You will make no mistake when you recom mend him to your readers as worthy of the fullest confidence, both financially and personally." Mr. Brooks states that there arc so many different stamps which aVe similar in appearance he cannot iftmte values from written descriptions, hut must see the envelopes. There are, for example, ten different ConfedeVale government ftamps bearing the (Htriiait of Jefferson Davis, ami many loea! stamps or stamped envelopes are very much the same in appearanee. The same is true of U. S. issues, the lu^ads of W ashing- ten or Ftanklin Iwing used on different ♦ fsmps. Mr, Brook* does not buy loose riamps stamp collections, coins or Con federate money.

But the promise of the ultimate success of an undertaking often justifies the ac-' cumulation of debt against the day when established earning power will attract new r partnership capital. Such has been the record of the Southern Railway Company. For thirty years it has been compelled to finance itself by borrowing and the reinvestment of earnings. But the Southern should now take its rightful place among the enterprises of the South whose solid worth merits the confidence of investors and attracts partners rather than creditor^.

Beaufort Shores by reason of its location and natural beauty is now attracting sdmmer and all the year residents to whom we are making daily sales, and will be presented to winter residents- the coming season. Our plana now "being carried out will build it in an adaption of the low country architec ture that is suited to the shores and verdure of the Sea Islands. “It is most encouraging to learn of Kalmia at Aiken, Forest Hills at Au gusta, and the shore developments in Horry County and near Charlestdh. The Carolinas and Georgia have a wondeiful future by reason of their climate, soil, industrial development, superb harbors and beautiful scenery. What greater variety can anywhere be found than is encompassed in the sea strand along the mainland in Iforry .County, the romantic and dream like beauty of the Sea Islands, the rolling country and famed climate of the mid-state areas where Aiken, Augusta, Pinehurst and Camden,have long attracted health seekers, and the great mountain ranges that are every day being made more accessible.. “At last a Southern migration has started and we are soon to become a centre of population and wealth. We are seeing not merely a stimulation of tourist travel. This tide that has set in to Florida has broken down the dikes of indifference, misinformation, ignorance' and prejudice "s to the South that have directed the attention of the world away from us and to the west alone. The unprecedented flow from every section of this continent to Florida will spread over all the South and especially ♦be S'H’th Atlan tic Seaboard States. We will draw’ from Europe. , It is an opportunity that has a world wide appeal. By cooperation, hearty cooperation,, ap preciation of all we have, and the overwhelming advantages of working together, we of the South may hasten this flow of man power and capital and so direct the development as to preserve the traditions and ideals that are the South’s contribution to the civilization of the world and dearer to us than all the wealth it contains.” —Aiken Journal and Review.
