Page Four Business Improves In The Carolinas McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. SOUTH CAROLINA Thursday, May 9, 1935 Business in general in North Carolina and South Carolina is im proving at a rate considerably greater than throughout the na tion as a whole, in the opinion of W. C, Patterson, manager of the Charlotte Branch of the Ford Mo tor Company, whose territory in cludes parts of those states. “I base my opinion not on ‘steel’, which is widely regarded as a good barometer of business, and not up on the automotive industry-, one of the largest users of steel, but upon one part of that industry—truck and commercial car sales", said Mr. Patterson. "When there is an in creasing demand for equipment for the hauling of raw and finished products, and for the delivering of commodities to consumers, we have a reliable index of increased activ ity in business in general. "Examination of the reports from the various states, giving the number of new automobile trucks and commercial cars registered in the month of January discloses facts that should be quite encour aging to citizens of North Carolina and South Carolina. "According to those reports, the total registrations of trucks and commercial cars of all makes for the entire country in January were 5* per cent greater than for the •same month last year. For the corresponding period, registrations In the Charlotte branch territory show an increase of over 100 per cent “This, I think, may be regarded as a good omen. People do not Invest in hauling equipment unless there are materials and products to haul. "Complete registration reports for February are not yet available; however, that the increase was not merely a spurt but represents a definite upward trend is indicated by our own deliveries of Ford V-8 trucks and commercial cars which, Jn February and so far this month, have been more than double those in the corresponding period a year Ago." Mrs. Charles Fant Hostess At Tea For College Students ANDERSON, April 29.—A most delightful occasion was the tea liven on Friday afternoon by Mrs. Charles Fant, in honor of the freshman Class of Anderson Col lege. Mrs. Fant’s home was the attrac tive meeting place for this happy ivent. During the hours from 4:00 to 5:30 fifty freshmen responded to :his delightful entertainment. The guests were greeted at the door by Mrs. Gertrude Pratt (Dean of Women) in her gracious man ner, and presented to the hostess Mrs. Fant, who in her charming personality gave each guest that welcome feeling of hospitality. Dorothy and Reese Fant (twin mascots of the class) stood at the head of receiving line, cordially greeting each guest. Others com pleting the receiving line were, Miss Julia Cade (Class Sponsor), Miss Annie D. Denmark, (College Pres.), Miss Willie Hackney (Class Pres.), and Miss Emily Jolly (Vice- Pres.). Elaborate arrangements of early summer flowers were most effec tively used in the reception room, and the same flowers were repeat ed in the dining room. The dining room was in charge of Mrs. John Dru Cade where she with members from Freshman Class assisted in serving delicious sandwiches, sweet cakes (decorat ed in class colors, green and white) and Russian Tea. Those serving were Sara' Bailey, Gaiy Vandiver, Mai Mac Bridges, Derrill Fant and Jane McBrayes, all wearing spring gowns of Soft Pastel Shades. A central flower arrangement adorned the lace-covered table, silver candle sticks holding lighted yellow tapers completing the table decorations. ■Jpi fifty Pi m ftftft SftSftCsftftM mwm mm '■m m iP Meets every need of Carolina Car Owners Has Meant To Aiken The Aiken Standard, April 26. i It is with the keenest regret that Aiken and Aiken County loses Thos.

It is nor surprising that this newest Ford V-8 • with its fine car performance^ big car roominess; j with safety-glass all around, all-steel body, comfort { zone riding and streamlined beauty should cost even : 1cm to own and operate than its famous predecessor upper half of the crankcase. This unique 5 Vfe gallon cooling system reduces cylinder wear and greatly lowers oil temperature in the crankcase. This means greater oil economy and is seconded by directed, air-flow, crankcase ventilation which reduces cor rosion, lessens oil dilution and cuts sludge formation to a minimum. See for yourself the comfort and roominesr in this new car—its almost effortless handling which brings you to the end of a day’s journey refreshed. of ten years »go.

Everyone can wear a poppy. The Auxiliary women will offer them in exchange for a con tribution for the welfare of the war’s living victims. No price is asked for these little flowers, shap ed by the hands of disabled veter ans. A few pennies, if that is all the person Is able to give, or a ten dollar bill, if that amount can be contributed, it is all the same. The same symbolic poppy will be given in exchange. The money which goes into the coin boxes of the poppy workers on Poppy Day will all be expended in the welfare work of the Legion and Auxiliary during the coming year, the bulk of it right here in our own city.

Scientists have already discover ed that this natural nitrate gives to crops the important rarer elements —iodine, boron, copper, iron, sul phur, manganese, strontium, mag nesium, potassium, calcium, sodium p^d lithium. Authorities are in clined to believe that these impuri ties are almost as important to r-owing crops as the quick-acting nitrogen which Chilean supplies so abundantly. They are inclining al so to the belief that these rarer elements combine to form that mysterious quality that has always distinguished the natural Chilean soda from other nitrogen materials, and made it so extraordinarily ef fective as a side-dresser for cotton and other Southern crops. to an American tourist and his wife in a poker game.
