The Rose chain of 5, 10 & 25c stores is to come to Rockingham. The company has rented the store building in the Hinson Block that was formerly occupied by Saleeby, and the place is being refitted and prepared for occupancy. The store will likely be opened Dec. 3rd.
This will make 12 stores the company has, these being in Henderson, Roxboro, Lenoir, Laurinburg, Mullins, Bennetsville, etc. H.S. Bruin is temporarily in charge of the Rockingham store and is getting things in shape. The store will specialize principally in Xmas toys and novelties for the first month and then develop more extensively their 5, 10 & 25c line.
Black to Move
R.B. Black has rented the Fairley store room, next door to Helms jewelry store, and will move in January 1st. The room has been used for several years by Hopkins Bros., who have used three rooms for their store. Mr. Black expects to greatly increase his stock of goods and run a larger 5, 10 & 25c store.
The room at present used by Mr. Black will be used after Xmas by Long Fur. Store.
