Tyson inherited, therefore, interest
and pride in the business, and when
he became secretary and treasurer Of
the company he was resolved that it's
growth should keep pace with the
progress of Southern industry. He is
the financial manager of the concern,
devoting all his energies to charging
the business profitably and in seeing
that the right side of the ledger shows
up properly at the close of every year
Though two capable and successful
travelling statesmen visit the trade fire.
quently, Mr.. Tyson makes visits at
stated Intervals to all the large deal
ers, studies what will suit the best
customers in the different parts OF
the country, and with splendid bust
ness judgment and broad comprehen-
sion, keeps the business in touch with
the trade and with the host of pres
ent and prospective patrons One of
the youngest captains of industry in
North Carolina, Mr.. Tyson's wisdom,
common sense, honesty and breadth
have given him a place among the
first.
Only The Best Work.
From the first the Tyson and Jones
Buggy Company has determined to
cater only to the trade of that large
class-( rapidly growing larger) that
wants only the best in vehicles They
have never been influenced by the
clamor for cheap buggies They have
not built up their great business by
toying to undersell. They have pro-
ceeded upon the theory that in the
long run the only thing to do is to en-
ploy the best workmen, buy the best
materials and make every buggy and
carriage so good that when it goes to
a purchaser he will find that it has
staying qualities. OF course it costs
more money to make that class of We
hicles than the cheaper ones, but the
men who know what is what in bug
gies and carriages prefer to pay a
larger sum down than to buy buggies
that will not stand the wear and tear of
long service. And it is because they
have allowed no temptation of tre-
mendous sales and unhealthy expan-
sion to make any appeal to them, but
have kept up old-fashioned thorough
ness and excellence that the demand
for the Tyson & Jones Buggies and
Carriages has compelled enlarged fac
tories and facilities.
PLUCK BETTER THAN ENVIRON
MENT.
When the Tyson & Jones Buggy
Company grew to large proportions it
was located in a village ten miles
from any railroad-though railroad
now goes to Carthage and gives good
transportation facilities. All the sup
plies for manufacturing buggies and
carriages had to be hauled by private
road, and when buggies and carriages
were ready for shipment they had to
be hauled ten miles over the same
road. That was a heavy tax on the
BUSINESS and when Mr.. Tyson and Mr..
Jones were getting ready to incor-
porate the company and enlarge the
business. capitalists in Atlanta, Dur
ham and other places offered to invest
money in the company if they would
move the factory to either of these
rapidly growing cities. But Tyson
and Jones declined, saying that they
had advantages at Carthage that out
weighed the advantages that any city
could offer for their, business. They
doubled their capacity and have
trebled their output in the village and
have no/doubt. built UP more satis7
factory business than if they had
moved to a large city.
