PRODUCE EXCHANGE.
]. A. TAYLOR.
President.

The Wilmington Produce Exchange
was organized in April, 1873, and incor-
porated in September of the same year.
1t consists of an association of the lead
ing capitalists, merchants and business
men of the city, who, with broad and
liberal views of what is best tended to
promote the general interests and well
fare of the community, will ever be
found ready to adopt every legitimate
means calculated to spread abroad the
intelligence Of the present advantages
and future possibilities of the city of
Wilmington as a great commercial and
manufacturing center and Important DIS
tributing point. Its progressive spirit
has infused life and activity into the
business of the city from its very be-
ginning The important influence exert
ed by institutions of this character upon
the material interests of the municipali-
ties in which they are established, and
the manifold advantages which accrue
from such organizations cannot be over
estimated by merchants manufacturers
and business men generally, and may be
briefly summed up as follows: BY joint
and concerted action they have a ten
dency to foster and develop the CONNER
cial, manufacturing and general business
interests of a community, and by provid-
ing for the collection, preservation and
dissemination of statistical and reliable
information concerning the same, they
furnish to the world at large reports
of the most valuable character, which,

Among the many business enterprises
contributing to the credit of Wilmington
as a commercial center there Is undoubt-
edly no single establishment of any kind
that has contributed more by its capable
management, practical skill, abundant
means and business ability, to the devel-
opment of the resources and possibilities
of the city than the establishment that
heads this article
1t was founded in 1S47 by Ellis and
Mitchell and in 1867 the firm became
Mitchell and Higgins, in 1873 it was
changed to Il. f. Mitchell and Son and
came into the hands of the present man
ager. Mr.. G. j. Mitchell in 1898. 1t win
therefore be seen that it is the oldest
grain, hay, and peanut house in the
State. 1t has always taken the lead
in methods employed in conducting this
line of business.
The store is 66x16J. the largest single
store room in the city, and besides this
there is IA peanut factory and warehouse
on Princess street A general business
is done in buying and selling meal, hay,
feed. &c. The territory of the house
covers North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia. 1t does larger business
in peanuts than any other house in the
State, handling some $4,000 bushels an
nually and shipping them to all parts of
the United States.

THE WILMINGTON TARIFF ASSO-
CITATION.

An institution which is contributing
largely to the growth and prosperity of
Wilmington and Eastern North Carolina
is the Wilmington Tariff Association.
1t has acquired a reputation throughout
the country as wide awake, progress
i've body. 1t has a large membership
in proportion to the population OF the
city in which it is located. 1t was or
ganized to foster and encourage com
mprce. to assist in the development of
the material resources of Wilmington by
the adjustment of freight rate inequai-
ties. That a better and more compre-
hensive idea of the work and Importance
of the association may be had we re-
produce below the annual address of
President ]. A. Taylor delivered in
March, 1899:

was called for the first Monday in

clnsiyely by her rivals, will fall TO her lot
and the limit of her successes will be the
measure OF the energy and business abili-
ty of her merchants.
The first years existence of the asso-
citation has been period of preparation,
and is no less important because want
ing in more tangible results. 1t is a
trite adage that. goods bought right are
half sold, and no less true is it that
case well prepared is half won. One year
ago we knew that Wilmington suffered
from an almost unbearable discrimina-
ton now we know why the discrimina
ton and whence the relief. To win, we
have only to perseyere. Where there is
no sacrifice there is no value-yictory

TO fail to continue the fight, now that
victory is in sight, would be to discredt
our intelligence, to proclaim orr impo-
tence. Surrender would bring ridicule
of our business sagacity and increased
burdens as the deserts Of ignorance. We
cannot stand still, progress must be
either upward or downward The forces
around us are pushing the wide-awake

to the rear. Expansion or contraction
which shall we choose? Wilmington,

circumvented town--which shall it be-?
TO talk Wilmington is commendable to
put Wilmington on par of advantage
with competitors is sensible. There can
be no progress, no abiding growth, which
is not predicated on like commercial ad-
vantage with competitors. The case has
been diagnosed, the malady determined
and the treatment prescribed; it is for
the business men of Wilmington to apply
the remedy.

built upon the untiring energy, enter
prise and progresSiyeness OF manage
ment whose knowledge and characters
tic ability has hong been acknowledged
by the citizens of Wilmington and the
State. H
Looking backward to 1865 we see the
inception of this old and reliable house,
which was accomplished by Messrs
Aaron 81 Rheinstein. As time passed
on leaving, upon the house prosperity
and increased business the firm was
changed to f. Rheinstein * Co, and it
was under this name that the business
became so well known throughout The

In 1895 the business became. incorporat-

The business is at ZOOS Front street

erected in 1891, and which is one of the
handsomest and most conveniently ar

W|LM|NCTON'S BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS,

commission of high ability and sterling
integrity.
The ''class rate" petition is now before
the Corporation Commission, and hear
ing in Wilmington has been promised in
the near future For the commission to
sit here is a distinction to the city, and
| am clad to record that the commission
considers Wilmington of sufficient i'm
nortance to merit this honor. OF the
merits of the petition we have not
doubt. and of the issue we entertain no
lhisgiyings. To win will mean to prac-
tically double the territory for Whining
Ton in this State. The beneficial effects
of such an achievement would be felt by
every business interest in Wilmington,
however remotely concerned with direct
shipping some might be.
While it is almost impossible to overes-
innate the Importance of fair adjust
ment of Interstate rates, yet the Inter
State determinations impose a still
greater barrier to the growth and de-
velopment of Wilmington. In the dis
elimination in rates on business originat-
ing i'm the West and destined to the At
lantic seaboard is to be found the pri-
mary cause Of our troubles. With these
determinations removed reimbursement of
the Interstate rates would follow al
most of themselves. With Wilmington
no greater distance on an average than
Norfolk from the Ohio river points, on
which all western business is based,
there is no natural nor legal reason why
Wilmington should not enjoy the same
rate as Norfolk; and the arbitrary adj
justment that gives Norfolk a II cent
rate on grain, while Wilmington is made
to pay 20 cent rate. and on other arti-
cles of commerce like ratio is the con
ditions so onerous in its consequences
that we do not for a moment believe it
can withstand adjudication before the
Inter State Railroad Commission.
