The Twin City Making Sure
Sold Growth
Winston SaIem's Advance Result Of Determine
ton That has Brought Success to Her
Business Men Individually.
(Staff Correspondence

Winston-Salcm, n. c., Dee. 6.-FeA
communities in the South have shown IN
the past few years such marked advance
ment along substantial lines as one sees
here. Winston-Salem, with its valuable
knowledge gained from experience, is at
, tempting no boom, but is stridlng forward
in industrial and commercial lines with
such success that even conservative men
here are contending that the Twin-City
stands second to none in Importance IN
North Carolina.
In educational lines the city has spread
herself, in finances she is represented by
progressive institutions which are be
coming known as among the ~soundeSt and
most prosperous in the South, while
new manufacturing industries are going
up daily to compete with the already
numerous successful factories. IN COM
mercial circles the city is looked to as
a leader, statistics having been prepared
showing that tonnage forwarded and re-
ceived at this point surpasses any record
heretofore made in the State.
Old buildings which a few years ago
were considered good enough are being
torn down and handsome new struc-
lures are rising rapidly.
Only today Emil ~Falkenhainer, repre-
sentins one of the most noted architects
in New York, arrived here to take the
first stems in erecting a handsome build
ing which is to be used as Il home for
the Flks and also to offer greater ac-
c~ommodation to several business enter
Drises which are now cramDCd.
Winston-Salem's growth is the result
of +hot dot arm Dati0p which has DrONGnf
success to her business men individually
AS All illustration it was several years
ago that Mr.. r. j. Reynolds was reported
to have confded to a few friends his in
tention to erect each year a new building
or factory in the TWin-City, and up to
this time no year has passed without
his promise being fulfilled. Already a
lew building for this great enterprise IS
being planned for 1908 ard it is intimated
hat a second large building will follow
before the year is gone.
p. II. Hancs has about completed a
knitting mill of enormous dimensions,
from which he has just turned out the
first work.
On the north and south side great furni-
ture factories arc turning out daily every
description of household and office furnl-
ture and 10 Winston establishment is
required to go away from home for many
fittings.
AS a residential city this is fast com
to the front. For several years men
here have been too busy making dollars
to think of new homes, but now several
very handsome homes are in course OF
construction and dozens of comfortable
houses of pleasing appearance are nearing
The two crying needs here are derots
and public buildings. Winston people are
simply waiting.
The tobacco market is on the advance
and while increases mark the receipts
of new markets. the TWin-City somehow
to show even greater advance
ment than her competitors.
In every line Of business this appears
to he the most successful year in a de-
cadc. Money is frcer than for many
Years and in the great rich back coun-
trv. which takes such pride in Win
ston's progress, the people generally are
of than they had hoped.
