only themselves individually, but thesr
friends, their town and their State
may be beneficiaries OF their work
and achievements.
A special feature Of the business az
Brown q Williamson lis the manufac-
ture Of twist Tobacco. In this they ara
leaders, and are probably the larrevs
twist tobacco manufacturers i'm tha
South. They manufacture considera-
bic Tobacco on contract, their largest
patron being the great Baltimore to-
baceo dealer, G. TT. Newdecker, who Ia
one of the most extensive handlers OF
manufactured tobacco i'm America.
Nearly or quite half million pounds
of the product OF this firm is con
tracted for by this extensive and wen
known dealer.
This within itself is unquestioneG
evidence of the merit OF the produces
OF the Brown & Williamson
factory Happening in the factory
some weeks ago, and being impressed
with the great amount of tobacco be-
ing shipped, | ventured to INQUIRE az
70 the amount of their days shin
ments. We are shipping to-day 10000
pounds, replied the gentleman, and wa
frequently make daily shipments APP
proximating that amount McasTw.
Brown a Williamson have three hun
dred people busily employed stem
ming, rolling, pressing, shaping, selling
and shipping their popular brands, and
as each month goes by their business
increases. These young men arc
neither gold bugs nor any other kind
OF would-be financial refcrmers. They
are solving the problem for themselves
within the limits of individual re-
search, reason and business possible
ties.
They know that around them grows
class of leaf tobacco which, for the
manufacture of sound, pure, naturally
sweet plug or twist, surpasses any
leaf tobacco that ripens to-day beneath
the stars
Few men in the business have made
such wonderful progress, and none
have deserved success more than they.
Their leading brands are TurniB.
Golden Grain, Kite, Red Juice and Ne
Ginty Twist The Turnip is a choice
high grade plug, and is popular where
ever a real first-class plug tobacco in
appreciated. The Golden Grain, Kite
and Red Juice carry with them the
sweets of the Piedmont Carolina weed
all through the Southern States. Ma
ginty twist is a great leader. 1t has
fought its way into the leading tobacco
markets of the country, and stands at
the head of the list of first-class twist
tobaccos. Messrs. Brown q William
son occupy i'm their manufacturing
departments a mammoth brick build
ing 145 feet long, 55 feet wide and q
stories high giving the factory build
ing $4,000 square feet of floor space.
They occupy, in addition, an immense
leaf storage warehouse, built Of brick
100x50 feet, stories high, containing
10000 square feet of floor space, maxi
ing a total of floor space utilized by
this hustling young firm more than
&c, 900 square feet, and every foot OF
this vast interior territory is brought
into requisition for the conduct Of
their mammoth business-all this ac-
complished in two years by two eneF-
getic young Winstonians. These are
great achievements, but they form
merely the foundations for
the immense Industrial structure
which will in few years be the homo

tons are built firm and steadfast.
The chiefest among them is the un-
daunted grit and energy Of the build
ers. Another is the high character
Of the manufactured product, and stIR
another and no less Important is ths
gentlemanly bearing, the high honor,
the liberal spirit, the genial DISPOSE
ton of Geo r. Brown and Rob't Z. VIII
hanson. These characteristics make
nen-such men as it takes to build mp
towns, communities and countries.
Winston grows OF course it grows.
With such men as Geo. Fl Brown and
Robert L. Williamson working at It's
industrial helm, it is compelled to
grow, and their own business grows
with the growth OF the tobacco indus
try ia North Carolina. They are with
their high grade tobaccos sent out UNI
der their already famous brands every
day, making new fame for the State
and adding new laurels to the undis-
puted crown already worn by North
Cardinals golden weed.
