THE WHOLESALE BUSINESS.
The development of the wholesale bust

ago the Wholesale business was confined
almost exclusively to two lines-hard-
ware and dry goods. Now almost every
line is represented and one hundred
drummers cover North Carolina, South
Carolina and Virginia, selling millions of
dollars worth of goods every year 1t is
a growing trade, too, and there is oppor-

AN INSURANCE CENTRE.
Greensboro is the first city in the State

wisest men in the State have been say
ing: There ought to be some diminution
OF the yearly insurance drain upon North
Carolina. Some of the thousands of dol
lars that steadily pour into other
States in insurance premiums ought to
remain in North Carolina. " Everybody
assented, but, except in two or three in
stances, and then in only local way, no.
body moved and the steady stream of
North Carlina money for insurance
premiums continued to flow into other
States. Some years ago, some of the pro-
gressive business men of the State or
ganized the Southern Stock Mutual Insur-
ance Company with headquarters at
Greensboro. 1t was managed conserva-
t1vely, won the confidence of the whole
people Of the State, and built up a large

In 1880 the population of Greensboro

In 1900 it had grown to 1O,O35, and its

been greater than at any time in it's

been greater than that of any other of

large increase in population will be con-
tinued. and that 1910 will show Green's
boro's prosperity to be as permanent as
it has been phenomenal.
Why has Greensboro grown so rapidly
in manufactures, in trade, in population

strong and prosperous city? The secrets

well supplied, having made all necessary
