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

greeting each guest. Others com
pleting the receiving line were,
Miss Julia Cade (Class Sponsor),
Miss Annie D. Denmark, (College

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.

Gaiy Vandiver, Mai Mac Bridges,

And on Poppy Day they will give
their services so that the rest of us

Wearing the poppy is the indi
vidual act of tribute to the World
War dead. 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. Thus the little poppy will
give us an opportunity to prove
