RED ROCK
HAS PRIZE
CAMPAIGN
The Hines Beverage Company of
Roanoke Rapids, bottlers of Red
Roek Cola, this week announces
the inauguration of a campaign in
which they expect to distribute
thousands of dollars worth of valu
able merchandise prizes to their
patrons in this territory. A dis
play advertisement giving full de
tails of the plan will be found on
another page in this issue.
In offering beautiful, valuable
premiums to drinkers of Red Rock
Cola the local bottlers are follow
ing a sound merchandising plan
practiced by some of the country’s
largest and most successful manu
facturers.
A fully illustrated 12-page folder
is being distributed by them enum
erating over 60 items of timely
merchandise prizes which may be
secured by simply saving a speci
fied number of Red Rock Cola
“crowns” (or bottle caps) from
the drink. The wide variety of
prizes offered includes sporting
goods, skates, bicycles, household
articles, watches and novelties for
men, women and children. All of
the prizes are of nationally-adver
tised quality, it is said, and the
city bottlers explain it is only thru
their buying connection with a
large premium specialty house that
they can place these prizes within
reach of their customers for so
nominal an amount of crowns from
their drink.
“It is one of many ways of ad
vertising our drink," L. D. Hines,
head of the company said today,
“also a ‘profit sharing’ plan we feel
will meet with enthusiastic re
sponse from our customers.”
Red Rock Cola was placed on
the market in this territory last
summer by the city bottlers. It is
a 12-ounce Cola drink, and it is re
ported its popularity has grown to
such an extent even in so short a
period that it is now one of the
favorite bottled soft drinks on the
local market.
To Discuss
Referendum
At Meetings
Meetings for farmers all over
Halifax County will be held late
this week and all next for the
purpose of explaining and dis
cussing the Peanut Referendum
to be held in all the peanut grow
ing states in the nation on Sat
urday, April 26.
W. O. Davis, Halifax County
Farm Agent, will attend these
meetings for the purpose of ex
plaining the program as would
be set up in case the referendum
proves favorable to the peanut
allotment program.
At present there is no market
ing control for peanut crops. Al
most a third of the crop has been
diverted for peanut oils .those
peanuts going into oils bringing
o K Ai 1 f V» o T f ri f fVin n wimiMf- flinf
the edible product brought.
If the marketing quota pro
gram is not approved in the re
ferendum, the Federal Govern
ment will not make any further
loans for peanut crops. If it is
approved, the Government will
guarantee farmers 50 to 75 per
cent of the parity price, which
is at present $122 per ton. That
will give the farmer a guarantee
of a bottom price of $61 per ton.
Following is a schedule of the
meetings in the county: April 18—
10 a.m. Tillery; April 18—2 p.m.
