There is no truer saying than that "a
tree is known by its fruits" and that
leads us to say that business Is known
by its record. prominent philosopher
has said that "there is nothing 90 sue
cessful as success" and most certainly
there is no better criterion by which we
can estimate merit. The above named
gentleman is living illustration of what
can be accomplished with merit as a
foundation, and enterprise and push as
developing forces. While II is not our
intention to write minute and complete
detailed history Of the rise and growth
of the immense business proportions Of
this we'll developed mercantile institu-
ton, yet in order to give q clear and
readible account of the same, so that the
public may briefly gather q fair idea Of
its importance, we will say that like most
successful enterprises, 1t was begun in q
moderate way seven years ago, and since
its establishment 1t has grown from an
ordinary to an extraordinary business,
and reaches ont Its trade to all parts of
the surrounding country.
The room occupied by this gentleman
consists of two floors, and a ware room
in the rear of the building for the storage
of heavy goods. The stock is full and
complete. He has all kinds of parlor
suits ranging in prices to suit all. Also
bedroom sets in cherry, black walnut
and oak, both the real and imitation,
also beautiful painted sets. He carries q
large stock OF piece furniture such as
chairs, bed steads, sofas, center and
broadcast tables, wardrobes, lounges,
curtains fixtures, spring, hair, cotton and
husk Mattresses, and everything that
goes to make up first. class furniture
store. Every foot of space is fully util-
lied in the transaction of large busi-
ness. Mr.. Pence is a practical man at
the business and manufactures some of
his own furniture.
This gentleman gives his undivided
attention to the business and to his able
management is the great success of the
house due. He 10 . thorough business
man and the fact that he stands at the
head of this honse is sufficient guarantee
of fair and honest dealing. This gentle-
man is too well known throughout this
section of the country to require any
praise at our hands. This house ranks
as one of the best institutions of Hills.
boro, and justly enjoys the patronage
and highest esteem OF the entire com.
munity.

There Is no line Of mercantile business
that has more representatives than the
grocery trade. And this leads us to say
that there is scarcely man who thinks
he is not capable of running grocery
store. But such is not the case. A man
to be successful in this branch of COM
mercial business must be one who is
active and energetic who is alive to the
demands Of his trade; who will buy q
class Of goods to suit his customers, and
who will keep his goods and store tidy
and clean-such a man can run gro-
Gerry store and make success Of the
same. Messrs. Roads 4 Riser possess
these essential requisites, and one has
only to visit their establishment, note
the arrangement of the stock and the
prosperous air which pervades the house
to become convinced of all we have said.
The individual members of this firm
are James Roads and ]. M. Rizer. Mr..
Roads was born and raised in this county
and formerly followed the farming busi-
ness. Mr.. Rizer was formerly in the
grocery business in Greenfield and Lees.
