its plant,operate alarge Meal and
Flour Mill and Granary, and
conduct q coal and wood yard on
an extensive SCALE
The company is incorporated,
and its capital stock paid in is
ample for all its portentous pur-
poses, and the fact that it's ~
tire stock is owned by Messrs, j.
J. Street and his two sons Joe
and Will. who are the promoters
of the enterprise and will control
the plant in all its operations, is
an earnest that it's operation from
the start will be progressive, IN
lform and harmonious, Mr. J. j.
Street being president, Nh. Joe
A. Street, vice president, and
Mr.. Will E. Street, secretary
and treasurer. The authorized
capital of the company is $780,
900, and the period of its charter
ed life is 80 years.
The Acme Machine Works is
l going to be one of the truly great
industrial enterprises Of Eastern
| North Carolina, and the fact that
Goldsboro has secured it is a
matter OF congratulation, for it
= means employment to much
, skilled labor at profitable wages
under it's own spacious roofs, an
unfailing market the year round
for wheat and corn and wood for
: the farmers in all sections, the
: drawing hithe" of machinery OF
, all kinds for repairs, leaving
thousands of dollars here fol
{ this work alone, that now goes
elsewhere, not to speak Of VIVA
the farmers will realize for their
corn, wheat and wood.
The plant is to be located or

4. AS to the personnel of tn
Q. company, this, we believe, is tn
" first venture of Messrs, Joe an

rn of business, although they hav
~ had a fine schooling under thei
n father in the employment of tt
tGoldsboro Lumber Company.
