A WORTHY AND SUCCESSFUL Blu
CAREER.

rather to rely upon his own resources
to work out his fortune and he stands
before us an exemplar of the truth of
that familiar old adage that where
there is a will, there is a way"
Mr.. Davis is an honorable, upright,
trustworthy gentleman who has won
success by deserving it. BY persistent
efforts-hard and steady licks-he has
made his way in the world. By force
of industry and will power he has come
up from the humble beginning of
poor boy, rather than by the aid of |
money or influential friends. He is
essentially man of the people, affable
and courteous, and is universally res
pected for his many good qualities of
mind and heart. Mr.. Davis has occu-
pied official position having been elect
ed Mayor of the town of Henderson in
| 1887. He was forced to resign the
office after serving but short while,
however, on account of his health |
which at that time was not very good.
1t is hardly worth while to say that he
laid aside his official robe without a
stain or tarnish upon his character or
reputation. Mr.. Davis is popular,
honest and capable and is deserving of
the honor bestowed and the patronage
accorded him.
Though young in years, being less
than thirty, Mr.. Davis is old in expe-
rience, and is recognized as repre-
sentative business man of the commu-
nifty, eminently sound and practical in
his judgment. A man of truth and
honor he enjoys the full confidence of
his patrons and every body who knows
him. He is liberal and fair minded,
progressive in his views and has been
an active promoter of every public en-
terprise that has been established for
the good of the town and community.
He is an industrious and tireless work.
Ell, and labors zealously for the best
interests of his constituents, counting
every man his friend and favorite alike
from the humblest to the highest.
After you have worked hard to make
a crop of tobacco Won want to get the
most money you possibly can Tor 1t OF
course. That is natural and you ought
to have it. And Owen Davis says you
shall have it when you sell with him.
The new tobacco year just opened
promises to be one of the best that
Henderson has ever had, and Mr.. Davis
starts out with the determination to do
A his part to make it so. No market can
: boast of superior advantages to Hen
| derson. It stands unrivaled as the
} leading bright tobacco market of North
e Carolina, both in number Of pounds
b sold and prices paid, and chief among
s the warehouses of this strong market
Il is Davis. It is large and we'll lighted,
v and one of the most comfortable and
: conveniently arranged in all its ap'
O pointments of any in town. Mr.. Davis
n knows how a warehouse should be run
j. and he is running his along that line
J. and will make it to the interest of those
fl who sell their tobacco with him.
e With the beginning of the new to
n bacco year Mr.. Davis filings his banne
n proudly to the breeze determined t.
e surpass all former efforts as live ant
progressive warehouseman, both as t.
ID the amount of tobacco sold and thu
ID satisfactory prices realized for tn
in farmers who patronize his house. An
Is those who know Owen Davis need nc
h be told that he is the man to carry int
IS successful execution whatever resolv
of he may make. He is prepared in ever
a. way to take care of the farmers interes
ly and will at all times do all in his powe
lg to protect and promote it. Mr.. Dav
Id realizes that the farmer is the ''bacl
Us bone of the country" and that 1t
Ike better to help ones patrons than
or hurt them: to make friend Of GU
toner rather than a victim and b
" conducts his business on these prime
ell pies, having the welfare of those wi
,e- sell their tobacco with him at heart
,s- all times.
vet Mr.. Davis is a man of sterling wor
,er and integrity of character, and couple
lat with indomitable pluck and great pc
nd severance. he has both the will and Il
no ability to carry out to the fullest al
81 contract or agreement he may ent
hrs into.
