Accurate View of 1t.


Upon this page of The SENTINEL
we present Il very accurate view of one
OF the large tobacco factories Of Win
ston, owned and operared by the firm
of Il. Ii. IIanes & Co. The buildings
stand ut the corner of Chestnut and
Third streets, fronting 100 feet upon
the former. There are three buildings,
the North and South factories being,
respectively 10 and 30 feet front, and
connected by another building, SO feet
front, this building serving for offices,
shipping and storaga rooms. As will
he seen, the entire structure is four
stories in height, and it presents an
imposing appearance.
This enterprise, like its fellows
here, has history, and we briefly re-
count it.

not far from one hundred and fifty
