With all these forces operating i'll Win
ston's every day business life it IS not
a wonder that its tobacco industry has
grown to such enormous proportion; nor
is it done growing. Indeed it don't seem
that well developed tobacco business
ever stops growing, especially if the basis
for its growth and its corner stones are
good leaf tobacco and live energetic and
experienced men, and upon these corner
stones Winston has been built.
~, 4ha nd uu1 most ntfPap-
tive buildings in the State, or even in
the South for that matter, is Winston's
splendid new court house, now nearing
completion. 1t is to be the pride Of the
town and the county and is a fitting
monument to the public spiritedness and
lofty patriotism of the retiring Demo
cratic board of commissioners, of which
Mr.. NJ. u. Bailey is chairman, who, in
the face OF petty jealousies, partisan
opposition and penurious warfare, has
secured for the county temple Of JUS
tee that will be a credit to the town
when it has a hundred thousand inhabi-
tants 1t is built after plans of most
modern architecture, furnished by that
capable young architect, Frank L. Mil
burn, and is built of Buff brick and stone,
upon solid granite foundations. 1t sits
in the centre OF large square, which
is in itself an ornament to the town.
Winston and Salem are both progress
sive and charming towns and they are
most pleasantly environed Among
their suburban villages is old Waugh
town, the original home of the old Nissen
wagon. There are a great many things
in which the fashion changes, but there
are a few things that are so perfect
in their originality that they never
change, and one of these is the justly
famous crooked bed. white top Nissen
wagon 1t was at Waughtown that this
wagon was first made sixty -two years
ago, and there to-day we find Messrs.
George r.. Nissen & Co., making the
same style wagons from the same kind
Of excellent timber.
This old Nissen wagon factory has
grown and grown until now it is one OF
the leading institutions in the South and
in addition to the crooked bed wagon,
the establishment turns out all kinds OF
farm wagons, OF the very best quality,
and there is scarcely a community in
North Carolina or adjoining State where
the Nissen wagons have not for years
been regarded as a standard of excel
lence.
There is much to interest the visitor
in and about the twin cities, and there
are no more progressive or more excel
lent people anywhere than you find here.
