Mrs. Mildred Burnett, M. Frank Smith and Felton Rainwater.
Smith - Roberts
44-Years Old
M. Frank Smith, who founded
Smith-Roberts Co., 44 years ago
today revisited the store he once
owned.
“In 1925 when the store was
founded, Smith-Roberts was a
leader and continues to be a lea
der today under the direction of
Felton Rainwater and Mrs. Mil
dred Burnett,’’ he said.
“Smith-Roberts was the first
store in Griffin to .specialize in
waearlng apparel. Most of t h e
other stores in town were sell
ing piece goods and were cat
ering to everyone. Smith-Roberts
was designed to cater to the sty
le conscious,” Mr. Smith said.
Mr. Smith retired as a merch
ant several years ago and sold
the business to Felton Rainwa
ter. Mrs. Burnett is the buyer
manager.
"The store has developed what
we visioned on opening day 44
years ago. Mr. Rainwater and
Mrs. Burnett have fulfilled out
fondest dream,” he said.
Talking of changes in the
face of Griffin, Mr. Smith said
that when he came to Griffin
there was two automobiles and
no paved streets. Much progress
has been made since that time,
he continued.
“As a matter of fact, you could
say that since I came to Griffin
we have gone from nowhere to
the moon,” he said.
During his years in business,
Mr. Smith was helpful in organ
ization of the Credit Bureau and
Chamber of Commerce and was
a charter member of the Griffin
Rotary Club.
“All I can foresee in the future
for Griffin is progress and more
development. There is no possi
bility of Griffin going backward
or drying up,” he said.
"The future for Griffin is un
limited.
"If the new Atlanta airport is
located in Henry County, Griffin
will become a center of progress
like no city has seen before,”
he said.
“As we look back through the
years, we see some trying tim
es and hardships. We try to look
at the brighter side of things and
let them overshadow the bad,”

he said.
Mr. Smith had with him a copy
of an advertisement he ran in
the Griffin Dally News on Sept.
I, 1925, announcing the opening
of Smith-Roberts.
“We didn’t sell the first dime’s
worth of merchandise on the fir
st day, although the store was
jammed with people on all
floors. We advertised that no
merchandise would be sold.
“We had entertainment in the
store. Musical groups came and
played live because we had no
television and stereos. We also
served refreshments,” Mr. Smi
th said.
“There has been a lot of pro
gress in Griffin, but we can look
forward to a lot more progress
and development that we have
seen in the past,” he said.

Hogs Take To the Air
To Hound Criminals
BY CHRISTOPHER
MacDERMOTT
JOHANNESBURG, South
Africa (UPI) - The crack dog
corps of the South African police
has a bite that is definitely worse
than its bark. Any number of
criminals can ruefully attest to
the truth of this statement.
The dogs Alsatians have been
so successful in aiding in the
(tattle against crime that police
believe they have cut down the
use of firearms in making ar
rests’or halting fleeing suspects.
For the past seven years
dozens of dogs have been trained
for patrols in urban areas and for
tracking in the country districts
- all of them taught to sniff out
marijuana, to help in rescue work
and in detection of mines.
Now, says Col. Andries Brink,
commander of the Dog School at
Pretoria, experiments are under
way with airborne parachute pat
rols in which dogs will be dropped
in inaccessible areas where crim
inals have often thought them
selves safe from pursuit.
Heading the experiment is
Constable Anthony rrinsloo and
his dog “Prins”. In all the prac
tice jumps so far the dog has
shown no fear, even in leaping
from the open door of a light
aircraft at the command of and
in company with his handler.
Same Parachutes
Prinsloo and' the dog use the
same two parachutes but there is
an emergency chute for Prins
in event of a break in the line
joining him to his handler. This
