simply perfect. and wherever ma
chimes can be made to do the work
usually done by hand they will be
utilized. Hydraulic box presses
will take the place of the hand
presses usually employed, and hy-
draulic double end caddy fnishers
will also be used. In brief, after
the tobacco leaves the rollers it will
be handled by machinery, and in
this arrangement several new fea-
lures have been introduced-at least
not more than one or two factories
in town avail themselves of them.
In referring to the third floor we
neglected to say that portion of
it is completely fitted up as box
factory--an important branch of
The business.
The capacity of the factory is es.
tinated at from three quarters of
million to one million pounds, and
hen the manufacturing season
opens in the Spring, Mr.. Hanes ex-
poets to have about 200 hands at
work. He doesn't have any ap-
prehension as to not being able to
dispose of all the tobacco he can

THEY ARE ALSO CONTRACTORS AMI
BUILDERS.
On the 2Ist of January, 1884, the
firm OF Joyce, Spaugh & Miller was
formed, their specialties being the
planning mill business and the man
ufacture of sash, doors and blinds,
as well as contracting and building.
For two years prior to that time
Messrs. w. 7. Spaugh and J. r.
Miller had been associated together
in :he manufacture of brick. In Oct
last Mr.. Joyce's interest in the wood
working firm was purchased by
Spaugh & Miller, and these gentle
men have since been pushing the
business. lt-.s.
The co-partners are energetic
workers and their division of labor
is such that the hest rse.lss follow
Mr.. Spaugh attends to the contract
ing and building and oversees the

trade hv ~ "a brick mason-he has
lived here i'm Winston for the past
twenty years, and the evil
dences of his skill as master work
man are to be found all about town
in the form Of factories, business
blocks and residences. Mr. Miller
finds his time occupied in the fac
tory and in directing its work. He,
too, is practical mechanic car
penter by trade. s.sz
The firm have an excellently
equipped factory, supplied with
new and improved machinery which
is operated by steam power. We
are not informed as to what the
working capacity Of the factory is,
but we do know that it turns out
as highly finished and thoroughly
made work as any similar factory in
the State. and it enters into active
competition for both the wholesale
and retail trade that centers here.
The factory building is not specially
noteworthy, but its location is, a
good one, being removed from the
always and yet within easy reach
of customers. The yard is a, mag
nifcent one, affording ample room
for the storage of lumber and when
ever the firm may. find it necessary
or desirable to increase their manu-
tacturing facilities they have plenty
of ground upon which to build. All

scope has been thoroughly gained
in the best of all schools-that OF
practical experience.
We are not informed as to what
names Mr.. Hanes will attach to
the various brands of tobacco he
will make we doubt if he has de-
cided that matter in his own mind !;
indeed, it is Il question that calls for
a good deal of consideration and de-
liberation; but whatever they may
be we feel assured .hat they will
oe in keeping with the character
of the goods themselves.
1t is expected that the factory
will begin work on the Ist of April
next. 1t will be a very practical
"April joke" on the part of Mr..
Hanes--a 'joke" that we shall be
glad to see repeated year after year
by enterprising men here--it is a
'joke" tha. everybody can appreci-
ate. We also understand that the

OF business dealing
Regarding Mr.. Hanes personally
we shall say but a few words. He
is young man and native
North Carolinian, ori ginally being
from Davie County. He belongs
to that class Of men who are pos
sessed of progressive ideas--he he
lieves that whatever is worth do
ing at all is worth doing well, and he
is accustomed TO think and act for
himself. In building and equip

factory as he has, he has demonstra-
ted his confidence in himself as well
as in the future Of Winston, and the
Factory once in operation, we
don't believe there can be found a
harder v orking man in heTwin-Ci-
ty than B. F. Hanes. That is cue
thing we like abort tie man--he is
so thoroughly in earnest in what
ever he undertakes; there are no
halfway measures OF methods
The western sentinel., 1900-07-26

about the factory, too, are some
splendid building lots which will be
in active demand before long.
In and on: of the factory Messrs.
Spaugh & Miller employ a force
usually numbering twenty work
men. Contracts for new buildings
constantly multiply, and it is hardl y
necessary for us to add that what
ever work is undertaken by the firm
is well and faithfully fulfilled. Pos
sessed as they are of every advau-
tage for doing work or furnishing
material in their lines cheaply and
expeditiously--having good repu-
tation at home and through the ad-
jacent country as reliable men, il is
not at all strange that Spaugh Il
Miller find themselves kept very
busy. They are prepared to make
estimates and undertake contracts
on any class of work, and we hope
there won't be any " let up +" in the
demands upon their time and ser

matter of-fact people. They believe
in giving an honest dollars worth
of goods tor the money, and while
they are as liberal in their dealings
as men can well afford to be, they
exercise practical common sense,
and when they need to be conserv-
ative they are conservative. Every
care is taken to give satisfaction to
each customer, whether whole
sale or retail buyer, and this scrup-
ulous care is another element OF sue
cess.
Without multiplying words we
may simply say by way of ccnclu-
sion that regular or occasional visi-
tors to Winston will find the whole

Bynum in every way well prepared
TO cater to the wants of all SO far as
their lines of trade are concerned,

OUR DRUGGISTS.
Smith & Brown may Well
be Considered a Rep
reSentatiVe Firm.

WHAT THE SENTINEL KNOWS CON-
CERNING THEM.
The senior of the firm to which
THE SENTINEL now alludes doesn't
have the appearance of patriarch
and yet he is, by comparison, one
of Winston's old residents, for he
has lived here ten years, and as such
and as representative business
man he has been honored with the
Mayoralty of the City-a position
which he resigned Tin his cecond
term) to accept the Postmastership
to which he was commissioned by
President Cleveland.
Mr.. S. H. Smith is originally from
Wadesboro and he located here in
1875. He was a druggist by pro-
fession. Seventeen or more years
ago he began, as Dickens "Pip y
says, at the rudimens," beginning
as clerk in High Point drug
store. He was far from being a tyro
in the business when he opened a
The western sentinel., 1900-07-26

drug store here, and he conducted
the business alone very successfully
until forming partnership with
Mr.. w. c. Brown three years ago
last July. Since then the success of
the enterprise has been, if possible,
more marked than before. The CO.
partners work together in harmony
each is animated by a desire to
build up the trade to its utmost, and
the result oe that work is seen in the
present standing of the house.
Mr.. Brown is considerably the
Junior of his partner, though, for
that matter, both are young men.
Mr.. Brown is from Dayie county !;
he is a registered pharmacist, and
very naturally, in view of the Off
cial position his partner holds, the
active management of the business
largely falls upon him.
The premises occupied by Smith
& Brown were built by Mr.. Smith.
He was SO unfortunate as to lose his
old place of business by fire in 1881;
as soon as possible he rebuilt, and
the result is ore of the finest bust
ness blocks in the city. 1t is of brick,
zox7o feet, three floors, the third
floor being used as Masonic Hail.
In fitting up the sales room great
care was taken to meet the require
ments of the trade as well as to make
the premises attractive. All of the
furniture is in the best of good taste
there is no tawdry display-but
everything impresses one with the
idea that it is a business house with
business men 1T the head of it-lnen
who pursue business methods.
The bulk of the trade OF Smith q
Brown is at retail. Il is to the re-
tail trade that they especially cater,
but at the same time they control a
very considerable wholesale trade
with dealers in this and adjoining
countless trade that comes here
of its own accord and which grad
ually grows into more and more
importance. We have no doubt that
they will gladly fill jobbing bills
from home or abroad-fill them at
low rates and fill them promptly
at all events they are abundantly
prepared to do SO.
The prescription department is
very carefully looked after, but the
fact remains that the physicians of
town in great part pursue the sys-

railway, for fertilizers, land plaster,
etc. This fertilizer business, by
the way, constitutes an important
item in the annual trade of the firm,
and is, without doubt, the largest
in the State Mr. Hinshaw began
selling fertilizers here in 1870 and
that year his sales aggregated four
tons-since then they have reached
the enormous total of 900 tons per
year.
So far as regards the general
merchandise operations of the finn,
we may say that the greater pro-
portion OF sales is at wholesale.
One commercial traveller is mploy-
ed, and the wholesale trade is at
tracted from all the adjacent coun-
ties, both in this State and Virgin
ia. Buyers have long since found
out that Hinshaw & Bynum can
serve them equally well or to bet
ter advantage than Richmond,
Charlotte and other cities, and so
the wholesale trade maintains
healtllful growth. To meet this
trade the firm buy in the leading
markets of the country and in large
quantities, their principal supply
points being New York, Phila del
phia, Baltimore, Boston and Chica-
go-they buy where they can to the
best advantage, and they are ena-
bled to give their customers the adj
vantages that accrue.
While the wholesale trade of Hin
shaw & Bynum is in this prosper
Gus condition, their retail trade ie
| mono the less satisfactory. We
question if another house in Win
ston draws patronage, retail patron
age, we mean, from SO great dis
tance. Many customer of the
house lives hundred miles or more
from the Twin City, AMI though
they do not put in frequent appear
ance, still they come.
Of course one may speculate va
riously as to the causes that have
conspired to build up business of
such proportions, as the one we
here write of. The causes are me-
cessarily various, but the prime fac
tor of success is undoubtedly to be
found in the good, old-fashioned
habit the firm have Of keeping alb
solute, implicit faith with their pa
irons, in making misrepresentation
that facts do not justify. Then, too,
they use printers ink very literally
and they use it in such way as to
impart confidence in the claims
they make.
/ Hinshaw & Bynum do not go i'll
for sensational methods. They re-

Though native of Edgeco nbe
county, most of Mr.. Pegram's life
has been passed in Forsyth, and he
hos been Wistonian for about four
teen years. Si.ce then he has been
connected with our trade interests
of one kind or another, his first
clerkship being with Jacob Tise.
Subsequently he was in the employ
OF his father, T. H. Pegram, and af
terwards OF Levy Bros. and of Hin
shaw Bros. In 1881 he first el:-
gagged in trade upon his own ac-
count as one OF the firm of w. M

was dissolved in November 1889.

This arrangement virtually makes
Mr.. Pegram representative of al
most boundless capital and infinite

been idle. He has built up a larg e
