THE GOOD EFFECTS OF ADVERTISING
The Concord Times few weeks ago issued
a special illustrated edition, showing the
advantages the town offered for manu-
featuring enterprises, &c. Several thou
sand copies were sent out and already the
good effect of such advertising is beginning
to be seen. The Times says:
Inquiry has been received at this Office
relative to the advantages of Concord for
roller Touring mill. The firm making this
inquiry is the Twin City Rolling Mill Co.,
Bristol, Tenn.
Do we want manufacturing enterprises
in Henderson? If SO, let us put forth some
effort to secure them. The proposed NLets
tr0ted Industrial Edition of the GOLD LEAF
Will go a long way in this direction.

of holding it is Feb, 10th, Goth, 21st and
22nd. The holding of fairs in the winter
is a new idea but it proved such a success
