y
claims for her to have the head office.
While we do not have a great deal of
business with the head office. still we
heartily endorse WinstOn's claims.'
Prather & Whitlock: I'VE are
heartily in favor of Winston. The
location is the most convenient and
deSirab Bile for a larger number of pat
rons than any place IN the district.
The fact that Winston pays in the
most revenue entities her to the
Office"
Foraker. Oliver s. Co: 1--WE are per-
fectly in favor Of the Office being NOV
ed to Winston. Would be delighted
to have it nearer the Mt. Airy mar
ket. Winston is entitled to it and
she should have it, because she is near
the centre of the tobacco manufacture
ing towns. Her claims are strong and
they should, and no doubt will, be
recognized"
W. E. Patterson & Sons: 'In our
opinion it would be much better for
the district to have the head office in
Winston. The location is a question
that interests every tobacco mdnufac-
turer. The nearer the Mt. Airy manu-
facturers can get it, that much better
will they be pleased, As Winston
pays more taxes than any other place
in the district she is justly entitled to
the claim she proposes to make. You
can put us down in favor of Winston
every tine."
L. w. Ashby & Sons: I'VE think
the office should be in Winston by all
means. Don't see why the office
should have been moved away off to
Asheyillc in the first place. There is
not more convenient place in the
district for all the tobacco dealers
tnan Winston. Our firm, too, hopes
to see a man appointed who will move
it there"
Fulton & Brother: Yes, we fa-
yor Winston and think there is no
other city or town in the district that
has such aCstrOng claim for securing
the Office. If any place is entitled to
it, it is Winston, and we hope she will
get her just title"
Moore, Lowry & Yokely: ''Person-
ally, we think Mt. Airy should have
the Office, but when you go to talking
about the town that is entitled to it
above all others, why, of course, we
cannot help saying Winston. Her
claims are strong from every stand
point and she should be hOnOred with
the office. The bulk of the tobacco
hence we hope to see Winston get the
office. She is entitled to it,"
Gentry s. Smith: '"The head office
should be in Winston by all means.
The town, above all others, is entitled
to it. We endorse the idea, too, of
having it moved there. We have
spoken of this before: 1t is a great
deal of trouble to us sometimes to get
stamps when the Mt. Airy branch
office exhausts its supply, We want
to see the head office moved where it
should be-in Winston. The town is
justly entitled to it by big odds. You
can say Mt. Airy will endorse her,
too"
KERNERSyILLE'S ENDORSEMENT.
The manufacturers of Kernersville,
like Mt. Airy. expressed themselves
favorably regarding Winston and the
collectors Office. Here is what they
said:
j. NJ. Greenfield: "Asheville is too
far out of the way for convenience,
hence ] think the Office should
be moved nearer the center Of the dis
trict. | favor Winston and think the
Office should be nowhere else. The
town is entitled to it and | don't see
any reason why she cannot get it if
the proper efforts are made"
LOwery, Son & Co: Yes, we favor
Winston by all means. Think that it is
the very place for the office. We
want to see it moved there for several
reasons. Every tobacco man in this
section, we doubt not, feels the same
way about it. Winston is certainly
headquarters as tobacco market
and therefore should have the head
quarters office"
Leak Brothers & Hasten: ''We
favor the main office being in Winston
every time. 1t should be nowhere
else, as Winston is headquarters for
this district, and especially for the to-
bacco manufacturing section. The
fact, too, that she pays out more
money for stamps than all the other
markets combined, justly entities her
| to the main collectors office. Our
| firm thinks the office should be no.
where else but in Winston"
Shore, Adkins & Co.: "Think Win
| ston deserves the Office more than any
other place in the district, therefore
| it should be moved there. Winston,
| too, is near the center of the Pied
mont section, where all of the tobacco
| is manufactured.
| '"The town has every advantage for
| claiming the office. 1t is convenient
for the large whiskey distillers in Ire
dell, Yadkin, Davie, Davidson,
Stokes, Surry and other counties. We
| endorse the idea of Winston getting
the head office. That is the right
and proper place for it and we hope it
will be moved there"
