became necessary for him to have more
room to accommodate his large and
rapidly growing patronage. In 1883 he
purchased the new and more commo-
dious warehouse which had been erect
ed on the corner of Main and Horner
streets, by Mr.. Charles Watkins, and
moved into that establishment.
With characteristic energy and
firm resolution to build up business
that should not only be creditable to
himself and profitable to his patrons,
but to the town as well, Mr.. Davis
continued to labor most indetatigably
until he has now trade and achieved
a reputation Of which any warehouse
man might justly feel proud. A man
of great energy and business capacity
this is but the ripened fruit Of such per-
istent and intelligent application. Well
equipped by natural talent and expe-
rience, he possesses in a high degree
the peculiar qualities Of the warehouse
man, and his career has been marked
by succession of ACHE yements that
indicate the native mental vigor and
we'll directed energy that has by no
means yet reached its greatest posi-
bilities. Indeed, Mr.. Davis's career
has shown those rare qualities that en-
title him to high place among sue
cesstul business men and make him a
most useful and valuable citizen as
well. He is man of sense, discern
mcnt, sagacity and Judgment; a bold,
daring, intelligent and clear-sighted
business man, whose success has been
we'll deserved and at which no one
more heartily rejoices than does the
GOLD LEAF.
Mr.. Davis is an upright, trustworthy
gentleman who has won the high and
honorable position he occupies among
successful and respected business men
by untiring and persistent efforts-hard
and steady ticks. He is essentially a
man of the people, atfable and courte-
Gus, universally respected, and justly
merits the honor bestowed and patron
age given him. An industrious and
ireless worker, he labors zealously for
the best interests Of his patrons, count
ING every man his friend and favorite
alike, from the humblest to the highest.
On the eve of the New Year Mr.. Davis
throws his banner triumphantly to the
breeze determined if possible to surpass
all former efforts as a live and progress
sive warehouseman, and to spare
neither care nor expense in making it
to the interest of those who sell tobacco
with him.
And those who know Owen Davis
need not be told that he is the man to
carry into successful execution any re.
solve he may make. He is prepared
in every way to take care Of the farm
ers' interest and will at all times do all
in his power to promote and protect it.

OWEN DAVIS.
\ Well Known. Popular and Successful Bus
mess Man.
Brief Sketch Of the Proprietor and Owner of Davs Ware
house, Together With Some Comments on the
Business He Has Built Up

The GOLD LEAF does not tire Of
well doing. nor Of speaking in praise
and commentator OF the men who
have been instrumental in the upbuild-
ING Of Henderson.
Conspicuous among her successful
business men Of to-day is Owen Davis,
the capable and popular young tobacco
warehouscman, whose name and bus
mess are known Of all patrons Of this
market. 1t is no easy matter to do full
and ample justice to the reputation OF
such a man, and in the brief sketch of
his business career which we here pre-
sent we cannot do so.
Justly recognized as one of the first
and most successful business men of
Henderson. a man whose Judgment.
tact and torcthought are far in advance
of his wears. who has done his part in
building up and sustaining this market,
Mr.. Davis is a typical warehouseman
and his praises are sung by hundreds
of strong friends and patrons through
out the tobacco growing sections of this
State and Virginia who seek Hender-
son as their most profitable place to
sell their tobacco in.
Mr.. Davis first stepped into the arena,
as a warehouseman in 1888, being as
ISOLATED with his brother Mr.. Thomas
\. Davis. 1t is needless to say that
from this time his course has been OH
ward and upward, and his success rapid
and continuous, surprising the eXpec-
tations of his most sanguine friends.
Although he was without experience
in the warehouse business he was not
long III demonstrating his aptitude
therefor. and by indomitable energy
pluck and perseverance Overcame diff
culties that would have stood as insur-
mountable bearriers in the way of less
determined and courageous men, and
at once forced his way to a foremost
position among the most widely known
and successful men in the profession, if
we may so call it.
AS we have already said Mr.. Davis
engaged in the warehouse business in
1888, in connection with his brother
Mr.. I. a. Dayis, as proproprietors of
| the Side Light warehouse. Both gen
tlemen were full of energy and deter
minatiOn and their establishment in q
short while got to be household word
throughout the territory tributary TO
the Henderson market and its trade
grew with each returning season. Davis
| Brothers con tinucd to do business until
the fall Of 1887, when the firm was dis
solved by mutual consent, Mr.. L. a.
| Davis retiring. Mr.. Owen Davis con-
tinued business alone. With renewed
energy he applied himself, his chief
aim being the welfare Of his patrons,
to which purpose he worked with a
will and fidelity seldom equalled, and
his business continued to grow until it
