A New Veneer Mill is the Latest Manufacturing
Establishment. Splendid Train Service.
Personal and Local Mention.
Especial to the News and Observer


Sanford, n. c., Sept. S.-The material
development of Sanford during the past
year has been encouraging. Thirty five
families, not including the cotton mill
operatives, have moved here, and today
there is not vacant house. There are
now some twelve residences, two brick
stores and six frame mercantile buildings
in course of construction.
The Clement-Ross Manufacturing Co.
have now in operation a large veneer
MILL which affords a market for the pop
lar and gum logs in this section. Most
of the output of the mill is used in this
country by the furniture factories, the
remainder being exported
The Sanford Sash and Blind Co. are
running on full time, and doing a larger
business than ever before.
Messrs. Moffitt Bros, the machinists,
have all the orders they can take care
Of
Thed Cobb & Thomas Company, since
they have been making sash, doors and
blinds have been shipping all over the
country One day last month this con-
Germ had shipments to points in Virginia,
two in South Carolina, one to Americas,
Ca, and one to Fernandina, Florida.
Mr.. J. D. Virgins, who came here from
Raleigh some weeks since is now super
intendent of this plant.
Parties are here looking for a location
for wooden mill.
The railway receipts of the town for
the past six months have exceeded any
previous six months by over fifty per
cent.
Building lots are sold at reasonable
prices, and it would pay some one to
come here and erect several cottages.
Such an investment would pay about II
per cent.
The Seaboard Air Line is now giving an
admirable train service. There are eight
passenger trains here per day on that
lire, two on each the Coast Line and
Southern Railway.
Mr. w. H. Fits, who recently moved
