The town of Sanford is not built OF

its business.
In passing along over North Cafoilns

real basic values of the different sections
of the State and how unlike oth' { States
is the grand old commonwealth IN this
particular.

never really had existence except In

the hum OF thousand varied industries
has driven it from there. 1t could not
live elsewhere, so it naturally died.
You could not call North Carolina the
tobacco State without doing an injustice
TO siN-tenths of its agricultural area
and vet we grow, cure and manufacture
the best purest and sweetest tobacco IN
the world. You could not call it the peach
State without doing gross injustice to

is it appropriate? Do not the vernal winds

sun-kissed hills and green fields and val
leys deny it?
Do not the green boughs of myriads
of whispering pines in this immediate
section murmur as they whisper, mo,
no 'Tis a misnomer." A good portion Of
our area, particularly in our Piedmont
section, is underlaid, and some Of it over
laid, with granite as fine as nature ever
formed from Felspar quartz and mica,
and yet we must not call it the granite
State, or we would do injustice to this
area of beautiful brownstone-enough to
build hundred cities and equal in tex
ture, durability, cleavage and color to
any that was ever carved into corner
stones or cornices.

how these vast and varied resources were
distributed.

Sanford has been the centre Of an ex-
tensive timber industry. One Of its in
dustries in this line is the Sanford Sash
and Blind Factory. This Is one
Of the largest and most successful es-
adjustments of its kind in the State. 1t
was established some years ago by the
elder Makpeace gentleman or
mechanical skill and of business training
he put his skill to work shaping the
timbers hereabouts into merchantable
and marketable products. Into sash,
doors, blinds and other builders supplies,
He used good material, did good work
and was enabled to offer to the trade
first class material and workmanship at
reasonable prices. 1t does not take the
buying public long to'find out these things
and orders come quick to the establish
ment. 1t began growing and has been
growing ever since. After awhile it grew
into an incorporated company, with still
greater facilities and better opportunities
to supply the demand that was steadily
increasing.
Mai John w. Scott, an enterprising,
energetic and successful man OF affairs
became the president of the company and
Mr.. J. B. Makepeace, secretary and treas
urer. These are practical Dusl-
ness men, they know the most
available and economical methods of
turning raw material into first class build
ers supplies.
The plant covers some two acres and is
erected within a hundred feet of the
junction of the S. A. l.. and the 9. +. and

growing, and the best of it all is that San
ford is furnishing a good portion of the
stone. These hills are groaning under the
weight of this beautiful building material.
Vast ledges have been quietly living
here for thousands of years getting harder
and better as the ages rolled by. But
now they are being cut away and modern
architecture is the great beneficiary.
First-class brown-stone sits in a front
seat in the counsels Of the discriminating
architect or builder OF recent years
Sanford brown-stone has taken its seat in
the front row and the best architects
and builders in the country are conceding
its perfect right to be there.
This stone is found here in inexhaust-
ible quantities and it is of 6rst-class
quality and firm and clear in cleavage
and color.
THE ALDRICH STONE COMPANY.
Some years ago the above company
was organized by some gentlemen of
means and enterprise of Detroit, Mich.
The company acquired the mineral
rights in large body Of land lying on
the outskirts Of Sanford. All, or nearly
all, Of it is underlaid with this beautiful
brown-stone. They built a frst-class
plant for quarrying, saving and dressing
the stone, built a spur into the quarry
from the main track of the G. +. & Y. V.
road and began the quarrying, dressing
and shipping of stone. The panic over
took the enterprise, but it did not disturb
it. A year or more ago Mr.. r. q. Car
rington, formerly a resident of Michigan,
came to the quarry as general manager.
He came with but little technical knowl-
edge Of the business, but he was thor
ough business man and he applied his
knowledge Of business affairs in general
to the management Of the company and
the result is that he is working every
hour, day and night. The engines and
boilers and derricks and the twenty-five
or thirty stone saws are all as busy as
they can be with orders ahead for all the
stone they can quarry and ship. This
stone is now going into the Union Theo-
logical Seminary at Richmond, Va, of
which structure Mr.. Chas. III. Reade, Of
Richmond, is in charge. Mr.. Reade is one
of the Souths leading architects,
and his endorsement of the stone and his
adoption Of it for the handsome build
ing referred to, and for other edifces be-
ing constructed under his supervision is a
sufficient guarantee of the excellence OF
the stone. The stone is going also into
the handsome new Presbyterian church
now being erected in Charlottesville, Va.

This analysis establishes the geological
excellence of the stone and shows, as the
famous chemist says that it will not be eff
fected by atmospheric influences.
When a man concludes to build house
wholly or in part out of such material as
brown-stone he ma turally desires to get
the best in color, in texture and durability.
The quarries at Sanford are young yet
that is the development began only
few years ago, but this has been time
enough to enable the manager, Mr.. Car
rington to convince himself and many
contractors and builders that the possibili-
ties for successfully establishing exten-
sive and profitable querryng interests
here are very great.
The fact that Mr.. Darlington finds it
necessary to work every hour day and
night in order to supply the demand dur
ing such dull times as we have had during
past few years is an indication OF what
extensive facilities will be required when
we have anything like a revival OF indus
