The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1896-12-31
A Well Appointed and Well Kept Es-
tabIishment Is That of Daniel & Co.

1t may or it may not he generally
known that Henderson boasts of one Of
the most complete aud up-to-date hard
ware establishments to be found in any
place of its size in North Carolina or
elsewhere. We refer of course to that
of Daniel s. Co.
The GOLD LEAF has aforetime had
occasion to speak of the systematic
manner of keeping stock aud the thor
oughness of detail observed by Mr..
Daniel in conducting his business. A
place for everything and everything in
its place is the guiding principle, and
the result is ease and efficiency in wait
ing on customers and constantly re-
plenishing stock.
Indeed, so we'll arranged aud handily
kept is the stock that scarcely no
time or trouble is necessary to put
ones hands on the particular article
wanted; and no matter what it may be
Mr.. Daniels apt to have it. To begin
with he has series of ''schemes" or
display boards Oh which are shown
every sort and description of the small
er class of goods and when a person
wants a certain thing all he has to do
is to look over the assortment. make a
selection and it is at once got down
from its proper place on the shelf from
among the hundreds of boxes or pack
ages, each article corresponding in size
and number to the sample.
1t can be seen alta glance how this
Facilitates the 1aaSt ut
tractive feature about it being the
ability of the purchaser to fluid exact
ly what is wanted by comparison. if he
does not know before hand; and then
it is more pleasant to get waited Oh
without having to put one to an end
less amount of trouble and then be
compelled to take something not ex-
actly suitable perhaps simply because
the desired article has not been pro-
duced. But with Mr.. Daniels plan
of doin5 business all this difficulty has
been obviated. If it is locks you want,
hinges, bolts, -anything-all you have
to do is to look over the array of
samples under this head and find it..
The rest is easy. If it is an article
that cannot be shown in this way you
have only to name it and in ninety
nine cases out of one hundred you'll
get it.
Mr.. Daniel carries in stock almost
everything that chm be called for in the
line of general hardware and his prices
easily put him in competition with any
of the big city establishments. He is
| a trained and experienced hardware
| merchant having spent lifetime in
the business and understands it thor
oughly. And his knowledge reaches
| beyond the ability to keep stock and
sell goods. He knows how to buy as
| we'll and in this principally lies the Sc
| cret of his success. He does a large
business selling immense quantities o
goods throughout Vance and adjoining
| counties and says he is determined tt
set his coulter deeper and serve larger
constituency the coming year than evel
before. And what he says he's goins
to do he generally does.
Some idea of the extent of the bust
ness done by this firm may be formed
when we state that up to last Saturday
they had sold 81 stoves of a single
make alone this season to say nothing
about others. Need it be added tina
this was the celebrated King Heater
one of the best heating apparatuses OF
the market, which for comfort, econ
omy, cleanliness and ease of operation
cannot be surpassed? Mr.. Daniel tell
us he has orders ahead for quite mum
Der more and expects to sell $50 befor'
cold weather is gone. Then there arr
the cast iron coal burners, cookin!
stoves, ranges, &C., the best makes o
which he handles also.
Mr.. Daniel has recently had hi
shelves fitted up with neat wooden
boxes for keeping various kinds 0
goods in, which is still another big i'm
provement for the better assortment
and quicker handling of stock. Thes
were made here at Henderson by r. r
Pinkston and must be seen to be ap
preciated. A visit to Daniel s. Co.
store is only necessary to convince on
that it is all that is here claimed for
and more-one of the best aud mos
thoroughly up-to-date hardware estab
lishments in this or any other State
model of its kind, in fact.
