ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION.
Edwards and Broughton Celebrate the 32nd
Anniversary of Their Start in Business.

The thirty-second anniversary of the
founding of the firm of Edwards &
Broughton was informally celebrated yes
terday afternoon. All the employees gath
cred to wish the firm another thirty two
years of prosperity, and with them came
a number of newspaper friends to add
their congratulations and good wishes.
Elegant refreshments were served and
the occasion was a delightful one to all
present.
Thirty-two years ago Mr.. Edwards and
Mr.. Broughton bought on a credit from
the late Major VIM. A. Smith, OF Johnston
the presses and type of the Raleigh Stand
ard which had suspended publication.
They did not have any money and Major
Smith lent them 500 to begin business
with. They worked hard and have built
up great business. In brief speeches,
both members of the firm told of their
early experiences and the obstacles in the
way 1t is story of pluck and faith that
shows the possibilities of young men of
capacity in America who are willing to
work.
Brief addresses of congratulation and
interchange of experience were made by
Messrs. w. N. Jones, ]. w. Bailey, Jose
plus Daniels, T. n. Ivey, D. D., Clarence
H. Poe, j. c. Caddell and Patrick Nc
Gowan, of the Raleigh press, and by
Messrs. Enniss, Adams, and others in the
employ of the firm.
Such lnterchanges of regard between
employer and employee and coming to-
gether of the craft are all too far apart.
Touching elbow to elbow and feeling the
brotherhood between them is as helpful
to all as it is enjoyable.
Long live Edwards e Broughton!
