week and the people of that hosplt'
able city showed Us various klnc'
nesses and considerations.
! Norfolk is a busy, industrious
city and is growing in Importance
as shipping point. The city l' con-
stantly growing IN it's volume OF
business and itsieaterpises, and the
health OF the:place Is good.
While there we called on some ct
our old friends and also..formed bus
mess acquaintance with other good
men of the city.
The Farmers Manufacturing
com pany at the western side OF
the city is a progressive enterprise.
1t is managed by Ness W. B. and
(J.F East, the former as president
and the latter as secretary aud
treasurer. They manufacture all
kinds of crates and fruit baskets
tor shipping, but their specially is
the ventilated truck barrel. We
were shown through their plant
and it was quite interesting.
From any kind of log they make
barrels and crates. There isl tim.
Der enough in the gum swamps in
this section to run such an enter
prise for a long time.
Mess. East arelclever gentlemen

G.. A. NASH & Co
We foundiCol. Nash at his desk
busy, as he always is, but he found
time to stop and converse with us
about many of his old friends in
this section. His business still
Aourishes and be enjoys patron
age in and around Scotland Neck
that he wishes to hold. 1t is pleas
ant to do business with business
men, and whoever goes to e. A.
Nash & Co.'S will find that they do
things on business principles.
Hence theirlsuccess.
GEO. TAFT & Son.
The DEMOCRAT has had dealings
with these gentlemen sometime
now and the more we have''to doWith
them the better we like them.
They do good business IN the
| seed line, and if an order is not
pomptly filed 1t is not because they
| are slow in their efforts to keen up.
They are wide>awake and are very
busy and clever.
ANDERSON & BAaLEY,
It is worth while to call on some
business men to enjoy the courtesy
they show you whether you do
business with them or not.
1t was SO with our visit to these
gentlemen. If we:ahad not done
any business at all with them we
! should have been paid for calling
on them by their courtesy. Thec
are of Norfolk's best men and are
alive tc business and the amount OF
business they do is evidence OF
their fine success.
HALL & CREAGH.
These gentlemen are we'll match.
cd, the former being Virginia
gentlemen of the best type and
the latter a North Carolinian of
! most pleasing address. They are
kind and considerable and like some
others we met In the city, their
courtesy would have been a source
of qualification had we not done a
I single dollars worth of business
With them. When they said, eve
I are glad you Called" they made US
| feel so too.
j. b. WHITE & Co.
These gentlemen want to do bus
mess with our people and II our
people knew them we'll we think

| clever and are especially pleasant
in conversation, both as it relates
to business and to other things.
All of the gentlemen we ha We
mentioned in this article are adver.
Users IN the The DEMOCRAT and
We nope our readers will patronize
