Of the Old North State-.No Better
Business Men Anywhere.
Baltimore, Sept. 30.-(Staff Correspons
lence)-Wherever you may be or anto
Whatsoever crowd Of prominent men you
may mingle, the chances are that you VIII
hear sung, the praises of some native
North Carolinian.
Speaking with a prominent baltimore
manufacturer some days ago, he remark
ed that one of the best and most popu-
hr and successful merchants in Badn-
more was DIR. Thos. j. Boykin. Tor
ner North Carolinian.
You find them forging to the front, In
business and professional life, occupying
prominent positions and enjoying the con-
6dence of their fellows, IN almost any
Gown or city you may chance to stop.
The big Maryland city has attracted
barge number of our clever tar-heels, in
deed some times / think that its account
with us in this particular stands over
drawn, but it is sort Of running ac-
count and Baltimore is a good solvent
Southern city. and the account will all
be properly adjusted in due time.
The Marylander was right in his estl-
ma te of DIR. Boykin and the sentiment he
uttered will be heartily approved by the
friends of this gentleman all over the
state. DIR. Boykin is the head OF the
extensive drug firm of Boykin ~ Stan
ley. one of the leading establishments OF
its kind in the monumental city. he
is native Of Sampson county, and came
to Baltimore some thirty years ago. de
had been to the front with that brave
hand Of tar-heels that followed Lee and
Jackson. and came hither directly after
the Confederate flag had been furled. He
WAS courageous in battle he has been
NO less so in business and he has these
thirty years Of active energetic and suc-
ceSsful business to his credit and has with
the aid OF his associates built up trade
that extends throughout the South. He
i well known and universally popular,
mt only with those who come hither to
buy in his line, but with the visitors
generally, who come from the old North
State to the city at the head OF the bay.
The firm of Boykin q Stanley are the
SUCCESSORS to the old well known and
popular establishment of Boykin GARNER
and Company, and their immense whole
sale drug establishment is located at
Nos. IL and 13 n. Liberty street. Here
they have extensive and elaborate facili-
ties for manufacturing and wholesaling
drugs, chemicals and proprietary medi-
cines of all kinds. They are likewise.
agricultural chemists and for years have
been largely engaged in the manufacture
and sale of their justly popular Home
10 tb.,r far fQr
dressing for cotton, corn and other crops.
There are perhaps no better equipped
merchants in Baltimore than DIR. Boy
kin and Mr.. Stanley. The senior of the
firm has been for these 80 years carefully
noting the needs and demands of the
trade and Mr.. Stanley, the junior. has
been for several years associated with
the house and by steady and intelligent
application, by active and aggressive eff.
fort has won the position he occupies as
4 member OF the firm and acquired a
knowledge of the business in all its de-
tails that is an essential in its continued
growth and development. This house
NAV be called a regular Tar-heel house.
DR.. Boykin is to the manor born, Mr..
Stanley belongs to that family of Craven
county Staneleys, so well known in the
social and business life of that section.
They are both good old North Carolina
names, that inspire confidence and there
are three North Carolinians connected
with the establishment in the capacity
of statesmen, Mr.. T. Ell. Best, who is one
of the best known of the Tar-heel drum
mers in Baltimore. Mr.. Il. III. Hardy,
another popular knight Of the grip and
Mr.. j. S. Funchess, OF Washington, N

tances with his Tar-heel friends and pa
