Your Friday Video Link is a history lesson.

Today's video is from the 1950's, a film featurette extolling the virtues of life here in North Carolina, from the mountains to the coast.

  • Cotton was big then but now it's not.
  • Hey, ladies! That nylon hose is mostly made in Mexico now for a diminishing market.  

Times change but North Carolina remains a state with...

All praise to North Carolina!
