PRESIDENT w. Il. JONES.
For nearly fifty years Mr.. w. T.
Jones, president of this company, has
been making buggies and carriages
in Carthage. During the first years of
his connection with the business, Mr..
Jones devoted most of his time to the
mechanical work of turning out the
best products in the small shop. AS
the business grew, his time was di-
vided between business management
and work in the shops What finer
work is there in life than with the
skilled eye and skilled hand to turn
out buggies that will stand all proper
strain and please hundreds of pat
rons! When the demand for the Ty-
son e. Jones buggies and carriages
became greater, Mr.. Jones spent much
of his time on the rOaG, introducing
the buggies and carriages to the peo-
pie of adjacent States, making yearly
trips to Atlanta and all the Southern
cities as far South as New Orleans. He
was much Sin the saddle those days,
and created such demand for the
product of the Carthage factories that
the buildings have steadily enlarged
OF late years the business has been
so large as to require Mr.. Jones to
spend most of his time in the factory
making new designs and Keeping up
the high standard. He knows all
about buggy from start to finish,
and is in close touch with the men IN
the factory and sees that the best
material goes into every vehicle sent
out from the factory. AS an evidence
of the high position Mr.. Jones has
attained in the world of carriage
builders, embracing many of the
brainest and most successful men in
America, he was elected at the annual
meeN.g in philadelphia vice-presi-
dent of the Carriage Builders Nation
al Association. The fine presence and
bearing of Mr. Jones makes him a
conspicuous figure in any gathering,
and it is safe to say that there is not
a handsomer or more popular man IN
the Carriage Builders National Assoc
citation.
Mr.. Jones is now seventy-one years
old-(or rather, as oliver Wendell
Holmes would say, seventy-one years
young Sunny-tempered
actively engaged in the business, hap
py in work and in usefulness. He Is
growing old gracefully, deeply inter
ested in Christian work as teacher OF
a large Sunday school class and in
other ways seeking to make the lives
near him brighter and better The
career of Mr.. Jones must prove al
inspiration to young men of mechan-
ical skill who are ambitious to dc
something worthy in life. May he
live long to add to the moral and ma
terial wealth of the State to whose ad-
vancement he has contributed SO
