Business Of The Week: Stanleys Say Local Ownership, Advertising Provide Edge! BY PAULINE LEWIS Staff Writer Stanley Discount Furniture is the Houston Times-Journal’s Business of the Week. It was first located on Carroll Street when opened in 1955 as a second-hand furniture and appliance store by Rufus “Buck” Stanley and his wife, Mae Stanley. New furniture was added to the stock shortly thereafter. The business expanded and was then moved to its present location at 1107 Macon Street in the late ’so’s. The store deals in Vaughn, Vaughn-Bassett, Stanley, Oak by Dobbs and Royola, Southern Manor and upholstry lines by Pinnacle —all types of furniture for Perry Could Be Site For Future Recycling Plant By VETO F. HOLEY Staff Writer Perry is being considered for a 75 employee, 25 acre recycling plant. Tim Martin, executive director of the Houston County Develop ment Authority, told the authority Thursday, Feb. 24, during their regular meeting that the company could start operations in 1995. However, he said the plans for the new facility were in their prelimi nary stages, and a definite site has not been decided. The company would recycle card board containers, said Martin. Martin also updated the authority on Northrop's decision to transfer its floor beam operations from Cal ifomia to Perry. He said the com pany indicated that it could provide an additional 100 jobs for the Perry plant Mike Graywitt, spokesman for Northrop, said workers holding the positions in California will be of fered a chance to transfer to Perry. Workers laid off from the Perry Northrop plant will be given first consideration for any openings cre ated by workers not transferring to Perry. lire new floor beam production at the Perry plant should "solidify the mix," said Martin. "Northrop continues to talk about more expan sion," he said. In other authority news, Martin said after the meeting that Frito-Lay had not yet signed the papers allow ing bonds to be released in the ex pansion of their Kathleen facility. In October, Frito-Lay officials announced they would add a chip line to the Kathleen plant, employ ing an additional 100 workers. The cost of the expansion will be $25 million, which will be paid for us ing a bond issued by the county to Frito-Lay. Even though the company has not signed the documents releasing the bond, Martin said, "It's a done deal." Billy Edenfield, president of Middle Georgia Technical Institute, told the authority that the quick start program at MGT for the Frito- Lay expansion was ready. "We have all the materials," he said. Martin also told the authority that the county could be eligible for a $2,000 tax credit through regional partnerships if Georgia House Bill 1764 passes. Under current law, companies that create jobs in the most eco nomically depressed counties re ceive a tax credit of $2,000 per job for every job over 10 jobs. In an other 40 counties, companies can receive a tax credit of SI,OOO for every job created over 10 jobs. Plaase see Recycling, page 11A the home, as well as Serta beds and Whirlpool appliances. The second and third generation of Stanleys are managing the store. Ronnie Stanley joined the business upon graduating from college and has been there through marriage and children. His son, Perry Stanley, is the third generation in the business. Since Stanley’s began advertising on TV in the 'Bos, customers come from about a 100-mile radius. About 75 percent of the business comes from outside Perry. Business has had double digit increases every year for the last 10 years. “It pays to advertise!” The average customer spends about SI,OOO. The Stanleys realize that when they get a customer, he/she has probably already looked at furniture in three or four stores, and settled on Stanley’s because of the quality of items, competitive prices and personalized service provided by the staff. Perry Stanley says that his grandmother, Mae Stanley, taught him about customer service and still checks on the business. His grandfather, “Buck” is deceased. Furniture dealers buy directly from manufacturers so there is no middle man as with other products. All t 7ft<zdw/uic6&i (We Only Whack The Prices) Redken Condition Curl Reg.

A few days ago I overheard one of my teenage patients ask his mother, "Why do I have to keep coming back if I feel better?" Teenagers aren't the only ones who need to know the answer to that question. Most patients do seek disease-care rather than health care. We go to the doctor only when we're feeling lousy. To understand the fallacy in that approach, you need to first under stand the three phases of chiroprac tic care. •Acute phase. You're hurting! Whether it's from a car accident, slip or fall, most people first visit a chiroprac tor when they're suffering. At this stage, you need to be adjusted two or three limes a week. Depending on the severity of the pain, daily visits may be necessary. •Reconstruction phase. You start to feel better. Although some people—particu larly children—may get quick relief from their symptoms, spinal degen eration is not healed ovemighL In this phase, a patient's spine is out of alignment almost every visit. Here's why: long-standing nerve stress causes chemical changes in the muscles that result in scar tis sue and deform the connective tis sue surrounding the muscles. Before your adjustment can "hold," these muscles and tissues must be healthy. Remember, scar tissue can take a long time to heal. So it may take dozens of spinal adjustments before the spinal column is healthy Perry Student Earns Sunbelt Scholarship Robert Ande Thompson, a student at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, recently received a Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition scholarship at the Sunbelt Exposition banquet. Thompson, a forestry major from Perry, was one of six recipients of the $250 scholarships. Awarded annually to Agricultural Equipment Technology (AET) Club members at AMAC, the scholarships are for students who put in at least 15 hours of work at the Expd artd who have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.

Don't discontinue care during this stage! It's like getting braces taken off your teeth too early. Sooner or later, the problems will reoccur. •Health maintenance phase. You feel good. Now the spine is holding the adjustments. Patients need only come in every so often for a spinal check-up. An adjust ment may or may not be necessary. Think of it as tuning up your car.
