/ Go TO Winston aud you find every bo1s
! at work. Inside the factories are thous
/ ands of men and women and BOYS and
+ girls stemming, rolling pressing, boxing and
/ labelling tobacco, all of them independent
and happy. They work during the day
| When the evening comes, comfortable and
| coy homes await them, where they enjoy
| the fruits of their labor. They have cares
! of course and troubles, but not those cares
! and troubles that come from idlcness and
| Incidence. The people here seem 10 stir
about With greater activity than they do
at many other places IN the State. Every
| body that you see on the streets seem
| to be going somewhere in pursuit OF
| something, and there is none of that III
| different dropping spirltless strolling
/ about that you see III many places. The
! people are all courteous and exceed
! lngly clever, and greet you with all man
| ner of urbanity but they haven't time 10
| stand on the street corner and talk an
| hour about nothing.
The town is full of immense tobacco fac
tories, prize houses, and warehouses; OF
| the latter, there are four, The Farmers
| conducted by Col. \. B. Gorrel; The Pied
] mont, of which MeSSrs. NJ W Noreet
and j. 5. Scales are the enterprising pro
! prietors; The Orinoca, by Messrs. Gilmcr
Wilson IL Co.; and Browns, owned and
conducted by Messrs. Brown Il Carter
| These warehouses are among the largest
in the State. Their proprietoro are men
! full of energy, full of vim, and full Of
business, for 1t takes just that kind of Il
! man to make a success running tobacco
| warehouse. There are thirty plug factO-
| ries that buy their stock here and besides
these, the town is full Of leaf dealers, eX
porters and others who are always on the
breaks. The result is immense quantities
| of Leaf tobacco find a market here, and the
| daily tobacco sales are an important part
of the business activity of the town.
| Among the manufacturers are Mcssrs.

In them more than three thousand people
find employment, and the tobacco manu-
| factured here goes into nearly every State
in the Union. Why then shouldn't Win

The mercantile interests here are also in
live and active hands, and here you find
some of the most successful merchants in
the State MeSsrs. Hinshaw & Bynum

Hinshaw, K. X. Crawford, Clarke d Ford,
and Pfohl Il Stockton are among the rep
resentative business houses and each vie
with the others in making Winston great
trading centre. The Winston Agricultural
Works is a young enterprise but an impor-
tant one. 1t Was organized for the pur
pose Of manufacturing ''Tate's Victor seed
Separator and Grader" The members of
the firm are Messrs. g. l.. Miller, +. E.
Gray and Vim. Tate, and everywhere the
machine is sold it gives great satisfaction
All this, Winston has done with only one
railroad-and that little branch road.
Far away from the main line it has striven
along, kept apace, and even gotten ahead
of many towns that have four times its
. railroad facilities Because the Twin City
early has shown such thrift and business
push other railroad lines are taking it
into consideration and other engineers are
turning their compasses Winstonward and
| ! Salemward The Roanoke and Southern
road, which is said to be a Southern ex
tension of the great b. Il O. Line, has
Winston as an objective point and active
negotiations are going on looking towards
? its construction.
Winston is yet very young town, hardly
out of its teens, but it is wonderfully vel
developed. y few years ago it had but Z
Y handful of inhabitants, now the two cities
combined have over ten thousand people
/ and in ten years more the Twin City vii
e have twenty five thousand inhao.tants. II
