Wholesale and Retail Druggists.
OF All the branches of business con-
nected with the mercantile Interests
of Scotland Neck there are none of
more Importance than the drug trade,
and there is none other which requires
more ability, closer study or a more
thorough preparation. One OF the
largest, neatest and most attractive
establishments in this entire section
of the State dealing in the drug line
is the one conducted and ably man
aged by L. T. Whitehead d Co.,
which was originally established in
1877 and became known under its
present name fifteen years ago. They
occupy a handsome two-story brick
on the west side of Main street, which
is 24xS0 feet in dimensions, besides an
annex 2Ox30 feet. These apartments
are tastefully fitted up, the appoint
ments being superb and very attrac-
tive in appearance. They carry a
large and carefully selected stock,
consisting of pure drugs and chemi-
Gals, all popular and reliable patent
medicines. toilet articles and fancy
articles, perfumeries, druggists sun
dries. winaow glass, paints, oils, pic
lures, fine furniture, seeds. etc. be-
sides a fine line of .iewelry, diamonds,
silverware, etc. They are also
headquarters for fine summer drinks,
which can be had at their
handsome fountain. The main fea-
ture Of the business is the prescrlD-
ton department, which is IN charge
of Mr.. +. 7. Whitehead, who is q
native of the county, registered
pharmacist and member of the State
Pharmaceutical Society. Mr.. j. A..
Pittman, the other member of the

degree the confidence and esteem of the
medical profession and the public in

gagged.

General Commission, Cotton and Peanut
Buyers and Merchants.

The pride of city centers in the char
acter of it's representative institutions,
and it is, therefore, only the truly
METROPOLITAN interests that are worthy
of extended comment in historical and
commercial review of Scotland Neck.
In writing a description of these institu-
tions it is generally done by comparison,
but there is always found house III
every branch of business SO far in adj
vance of its fellows that comparison is
impossible. 1t can only be made the
standard while others must be written or
relatively. This reputation is gained anu
held by the uniform completeness OF lts
stock, the ample resources ana enter
prsng spirit of its proprietors, ana the
magnitude and extent of It's operations
Such an establishment as this we find IN
Scotland Neck doing business under the
name of NJ Hoffman ~ Bro which was
founded here on very small scale III
1877. by NJ. Hoffman, the senior mem-
her of the firm. At the present time 1T
is unuuestionally the leading concern of
the kind in that section, and none Is
entitled to more extended consideration,
both with reference to the high CONNER
cial standard upon which its operations
are based, the extent of business trans
acted and it's influence upon the trace.
The members of the firm are Nj. HoH-
mon the senior. and g. Hoffman. the
iunior member both of whom take
great deal of interest in the upbulldlng
of Scotland Neck and that section.
They occupy large and commodious
quarters. on the corner of Main ana
Eleventh Street which consists OF the
original building, which the business
was incepted in and two other much
larger ones which gives them three
stores and a floor space of 64,OOO Feet
and besides this they have two large
Warehouses where all heavy goods are
kept. :,
In the dry goods department will be
found full line of dress goods of all
kinds. notions. shoes, etc.
f The department is replete with
choice line of gents and boys clothing
and furnishing of every kinds, and the

]. FRANK BRINKLEY.
Tobacco Warehouseman.

Knowing as we do that Scotland Neck
i the coming tobacco market of this sec
zion we cannot but write few para
graphs in regard to one who is dong an
in his power to build up the market
and has been since its establishment III
1898. he being one Of the origlnators OF
the work.
Mr.. j. Frank Brinkley is North Car
Gilman by birth having been born IN TINS
comfy. He served the county most
faithfully for four years as register OF
deeds. In 1898 he with several others
of the most energetic citizens OF scot
land Neck began to build up Il tobacco
market at this place and it is through
their efforts that the two new ana com
modious warehouses are standing III
Scotland Neck and the proprietor OF one
of them is the subject of our sketch.
MIR. Brinkley rented the Banner ware
bouse in 1898 upon its completion ana
has since been it's proprietor. The build
ING is a commodiouS one and Is lZOXoo
feet in dimensions. Last season he sold
in the Banner warehouse about 4o0,O0o
mounds, and the prospects for the com
inc wear are that the sales will more
than double that amount We make
this statement from the fact that the
acreage for tobacco in this section IS
more than double this year. The land
that this market draws its tobacco from
is about as follows: 1,S00 acres in Mar
fin county. 1000 acres in Pitt county;
900 acres in Hartford and BERTHE coun-
ties. 100 acres in Edgecombe and other
fine tobacco lands surround this section
which will after the establishment OF the
market ut this place where good rail
road facilities can be had for shipment
and where good substantial prize houses
are for the storage of the tobacco after
il is sold ON the market.
MIR Brinkley will conduct the Banner
warehouse this season and will offer
avery legitimate inducement to bring
forth and build mp the tobacco industry
Of this section both as to amount raised
and prices as well.
Mr. Brinkley has had three years ex-
nerience in the tobacco warehouse bust
ness and therefore understands the bust
ness thoroughly and will conduct the
Kramer warehouse and also his large
three story prize house on principles of
Honesty tempered with fair dealings TO
all and in conclusion we might add that
~ inst such men as Mr.. Brinkley Scot
land Neck owes her present progressive
ness.
