Wholesale Grocer, Commits
sion Merchant and
farmers Agent,
One of the Largest Businesses Of Newbern, 0c-
cupying Half Block at What Was For
merIy the Old Dominion Wharf.

One of the first men to recognize the
advantages offered by Ncwbern as Il
port Of entry in the way Of securing
low freights and thereby supplying Il
large contiguous territory at lower fig
ureS than Northern wholesalers and
jobbers find possible was Mr.. Il. X
Bishop. who in 1885 established his
present business that of wholesale gro
Ger, commission merchant and factors
agent. The subsequent career OF the
house has abundantly justified the bust
ness acument of its founder.
The business Of Mr.. Bishop is located
on what was formerly the wharf of the
Old Dominion Steamship Company and
his office and warerooms were formerly
its property. 1t is perhaps the best To-
cation in the city for the kind of BUSH
ness conducted by Mr. Bishop and about
Il half block is occupied by the offices,
stores and warehouses. and the proprie-
tor does not have any room to spare
either
Mr. Bishop deals in provisions of all
sorts at wholesale rates, is a heavy inn
porter and dealer in salt, is the factor
of a sugar refining company and makes
a speciality of car load shipments. His
territory embraces all of Eastern North
Carolina and IA corps of efficient travel
ing men is kept constantly in the field,
looking after the interests Of the house.
The business was not built up at 4
bound, but has grown gradually and
steadily through the years since it was
founded, covering more and more terri
tory, annually numbering more and
more retailers among It's friends and pa
irons. until today it ranks with any
similar business in the State. In the
home office employment is given to sever
people
-aAlr. Bishop is recognized by his fellows
as one OF the city's most worthy an6
substantial citizens. He is a director
of the National Bank of Newbern anc
his sound wisdom has done no little tc
make that strong institution what it is
His success has been the sure result OF
his business methods and his sterling in
tegrity of which it is the legitimate re
ward.

full under the supervision of its able
managers and founders, is the Newhern

The plant is located in the northern
part of the city on the Neuse river and
the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
way and has the advantage of shipping
facilities by water and rail. The plant
at present consists of three buildings.
The mill proper, the building where
the raw materials are turned into the
finished product, is a building 75x100
feet in dimensions and the latest I'M
proved machinery is used in all the
processes, which are in themselves in
teresting enough to one who las never
been through similar establishment.
Beside the mill building an enormous
warehouse. S0x130 feet is required to
store the stock of seed that feeds the
manufacturing plant. Another ware
house 25xG0 feet is used for weighing

that it manufactures We're used in the
practice Of DIR. Charles Duffy, who died
in 1910, and are found as beneficial
now BY hundreds of practitioners and
laymen as over half century ago, when
used by their first compounder.

are offered as a safe and effectual rem
edy in relieving indigestion, promoting
a healthy action of the hillary system,
and maintaining that disposition of the
intestinal canal so necessary to the eX-
istence and continuance of health.
To those who, owing to their digestive
system becoming deranged, require the
occasional aid of medicine TO restore its
natural functions, they will be found
equally useful as a general or habituM
remedy
The sale of this valuable adjunct of
health is constantly increasing and
wholesalers North and South are sup
piled with it from the home plant where
it is manufactured under the eye of Mr.
f. S. Duffy.
A corps of travelling men is kept III
tie field covering territory which al
ready embraces North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia. As already stated
these remedies have stood the test or
long use in actual practice. DR. Charles
Duffy, who first prescribed them, was
an eminent physician and surgeon III the
British navy and SO great was the bene-
fit Of their use that the formulate We're
preserved and thus their continued pro
duction was rendered possible.
The company is in possession of hum
dreds of testimonials from people who
have heen benefited by the remedies it
manufactures and from physicians who
have prescribed them successfully in
practice and these will be cheerfully
furnished on application.
