is good and the company is in a pros
porous condition.
The directors in the company are
Messrs. J. H. Townsend, George B.
Townsend, j. A. Brock and H. c.
Townsend. Mr. J. H. Townsend is
the president of the company and Mr..
George B. Townsend is secretary and
manager.
The STEAM LAUNDRY.
The Anderson Steam Laundry has
been running for about five years, and
during that time the very best class of
work has been done. A stock COM
pany was organized in the city and
the plant was put in operation shortly
after. Later the capital stock of the
company was increased, as it was
found necessary to increase the vol
ume of work in order to meet the rush
of business.
From the very start the laundry
proved a success. Several experienced
Northerners, who had long been in
the laundry business, were brought
here to superintcnd the work, and by
this means the first batch Of goods
turned out was equal to any Of the
older institutions of the same kind.
All of the latest improved machinery
was put in \ large and commodious
building was erected on East Bounda-
ry street. and the same stand is still
used. The main building is % by 90
feet, besides the dry rooms and sheds.
All of the workmcn employed are
white, as it has been demonstrated
that they can do better work in
laundry than the negroes. The labor
ers, too, are all skilled with long ex-
perience
Mr.. r. A. Mayfeld is the treasurer
and general superintendent, and by
his unfailing courtesy has built up a
large patronage in Anderson.
The business is not confined to this
city alone, but there are about forty
branch Offices established throughout
the State, North Carolina and Georgia.
Every week orders are received from
these offices and the amount of bust
ness is of course increased.
A steam laundry was necessity at
Anderson, and the men who put their
money in the enterprise have since
found out that it was a better paying
investment than they at first expected.
ANDERSON TELEPHONE COMPANY.
A telephone exchange, thoroughly
equipped, is one of the latest i'm
provements that have been made in
the city, and the company is now in a
most fourishing condition The sys-
TEN has only been in operation about
a year, but in that time the service
has been made complete and the peo
pie have no grounds to complain Of a
bad or irregular service. There are
about ninety subscribers in the city,
and with long distance telephone con-
nections with Belton. Honea Path,
Pelzer, Piedmont, Greenvillc, Able
vile and Easley. Thus it can be seen
that Anderson is in close touch with
all the neighboring towns, and other
connections will be added to this al
ready large list.
The directors are: Messrs. r. f.
Ligon, j. L. Mauldin, j. NJ Sullivan,
r. 7. Long, L. p. Brock, R. S. Hill
and W. R. Osborne.
Mr. R. E. Ligon is President, Mr.,
W. r. Osborne is Fice-President, Mr..
G. W. Evans is Secretary and Treasur-
er and Mr. F. w. Nardin is Superin-
tendent.

our work today. and one which enecur-

city would only pay into the treasury. of
the Queen City Cycle Club the amount
