In a history of the advance and de-

with reference to commercial affairs,
the wholesale grocery trade must al
ways occupy a very prominent position
as a branch Of mercantile pursuit, con
tributing in no small degree to the
commercial Importance or the city.
Among those houses whose extended
transactions and high standing entltle
them to special mention is that Of WIZ

made a success by reason of fair dealing

liberal and progressive one in dealing
with the trade, and the saying "once a
customer always a customer" is striking

Success to a very large extent in ev-
cry branch of business depends upon
a thorough practical knowledge OF
the minute details embraced therein.
Combining these characteristics in
such an eminent degree and trans
acting a very extensive trade, the an
nual aggregate of which is a very
significant item in tho general total of
the city's commerce. the establishment
of The Sneed Furniture Company
must be accorded a prominent space
in these columns and equally promi-
nent in fact to the place it holds
among its contemporaries. There
is perhaps no branch of business re-
curing more thorough study and
adaptation to its requirements than
the furniture business and surely
none where competition is SO sharp
and where the energy of the pro-
prietor and manager can better be
shown. Mr.. Sneed, the proprietor
has been the leading spirit of the
business since its foundation in 1887
and in 1897 it became The Sneed
Company. BY thrift, energy and
business acumen the stock has been
gradually added to the territory eN-
terded until now the house carries
one of the largest and most select
stocks to be found in either one of the
Carolinas and ship goods over North
and South Carolina. All kinds of fur
niture. house furnishings, window
shades, etc, are handled in car load
lots. The large. elegant and commo-
dious three story building comprising
10000 feet of floor space, is stocked
from bottom to top with the hand
soonest designs of everything that
would delight the most fastidions
tastes. Adjoining this building is the
warehouse and also the mattress fac
