SMITH-YINGLING co.
Packers of Fruits and Vegetables.

Packers of Fruits and Vegetables
With market advantages at the very
edge of the fields such as are offered to
growers by the packing industries of the
country, efforts have been stimulated
and encouraged to cultivate such pro-
ductionS as are adapted for canning
purposes and in the high standard of
these productions and in the aggregate
of capital and labor devoted to their
cultivation and packing Maryland occu-
pies leading position. To the farmers
of this immediate section the induce
ments held out by the Smith -Yingling
Co. are fair prices and honorable treat
ment in all trade relations. This con-
Germ operates canning plants at West
minister and Hampstead, Md, which fur
nish labor opportunities for several hum
dred people in the canning season, in
the packing of fruits and vegetables.
/ his business was established in 1881
by Smith, Yingling & Co., which con-
sisted of John Smith, Joshua Yingling,
Charles BillingSlea and Austin H. Ying-
ling. In 1885, while still thriving enter
prise, the ownership passed to Charles
and James H. Billingslea, and in 1905
the business was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Maryland as the
Smith Yingling Co., with Charles Bill
lingslea, president; James H. Billing
slea, president, and A. H. Yingling,
superintendent. This concern at its
Westminster plant packs annually about
10000 cases of corn and at Hampstead
about 10000 cases; cherries are packed
at both the Hampstead and Westminster
plants. These goods are known in the
wholesale markets of the country under
the popular brands Westminster" and
Mothers Delight" and reach a stand
ard of excellence because of their
sweetness, flavor and creamy juiciness.
The Hampstead plant is now being fit
ted up with new machinery, and the
packing of peas will in the future be an
important feature of the operations of
the company The soil and climate of
Maryland are splendidly adapted to
canned goods productions and because
of these natural advantages and en-
couraged by the packing industry their
cultivation has been an important
source of revenue for its farming fra
ternity-a revenue to which can be
largely attributed the prosperity that
generally speaking characterizes those
counties cultivating canned goods pro-
ductions The Smith Yinglng Co.'S
operations are supervised by experienced
ability in all the departments of the
packing industry, and its management
and ownership are in the hands of men
of the strictest integrity and reliability,
whose constant aim and policy are to
reach and maintain a standard of excel
lence and permit no inducement or con-
sideration to detract from the erviable
reputation which attaches to their pro-
ductions as high class foods.

MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE Co.
OF CARROLL COUNTY.

Organized cooperation, when directed
along lines of wisdom, and when the
business affairs resulting from such Or
ganized cooperation have been success
fully managed by efficient and trustwor-
thy officers, has always been the means
of securing the best results, both with
reference to the character of service
rendered and in the minimum expense
incurred to maintain such service. The
success of such organized cooperation is
we'll illustrated and exemplified in the in
ception, development and the splendid re-
suits achieved by the Mutual Fire In
surance organization of the county,
whose affairs have been administered by
men of business ability and reliability,
and who in thir management, follow
strictly policy wisely conservative and
in strict accord with the cardinal prin
ciples dictated by reason and experience,
and thoroughly established in their prac-
teal application by both time and con-
tinuous recognition. The Mutual Fire
Insurance Company of Carroll County is
one of the reliable and honorable institu
tions of the State of Maryland. This
company was chartered November 2o,
1860, confning its operations throughout
all the subsequent years to Carroll, Bal
tirnore and Frederick counties. Its pol
icy has been to insure property against
loss by fire and lightning, at the low
est possible cost, conhhing the cost to the
minimum figures by the practice of the
strictest economy on the part OF the man
agement Settlements in the event OF
losses have been paid promptly, and
always with a desire to deal fairly by
avoiding technical subterfuges. The fol-
lowing figures, taken from the last an
nual report of the secretary of the COM
pany, under date December Is, 1905,
prove conclusively its prosperous and
flourishing condition, its constantly in
creasing popularity, and its excellent
standing generally:
Total policies in force. .... 3,o6o
Amount of property in
Sured ...................$4 Sal 80, ,0oooo
Total investments ......... S3o,0oI.2o
There are no bills payable outstanding,
and no unpaid fire losses.
Such a showing appeals favorably to
all, and considering the fact that it is a
home company, whose officers and direc-
tors are we'll known and representative
citizens of the community, the Mutual
Fire Insurance Company of Carroll
County deserves the preference given it
by the leading influential and fair-minded
people of this section. The officers of
the company are as follows:
DR.. J. w. Herring, president; G. Lloyd
Lynch, secretary and treasurer; Direc-
tors, DR.. J. w. Herring, Frank L. Her
ing, E. E. Reindollar, DR.. J. ]. Weaver,
Jr., Louis E. Shriver, J. Oliver Wadlow,
Samuel Roop; E. Oliver Grimes, Jr.,
counsel, and DR.. Chas. Billingslea. All
the above individuals are men of thor
oughly established standing and relia-
bility, and in their hands the interests
of the policy-holders will be wisely safe
guarded.

DIR. F. E. BAUGHMAN.
Postmaster.


The postal service of community is
factor to be reckoned with as con-
tributing to its progress and development
in every direction, for upon frequently and
reliability of communication with the
outer world depend many invaluable ad-
vantages. Under the administration of
DR.. G. E. Baughman, Westminster and
its surrounding territory enjoys the very
best of postal facilities These facilities
are provided by the efforts of three car
riers in Westminster proper, who deliver
and collect the mail at regular intervals
throughout the day, and by seventeen
rural routes, radiating in every direction,
thus maintaining excellent advantages
for the farmers of the community Sub
stations at Uniontown and Union Mills
are under the supervision of the West
minister Office Since his appointment as
Postmaster, four years ago, DR.. Baugh-
man has rendered a service which has
ever been in accord with the prescribed
postal regulations, and which conforms to
the needs and convenience ofthe maj jority
of the people In all departments cour-
tesy and promptness have been the lead
ing features of all relations with the
public. The results are apparent in an
excellent record-a record which has
been frequently commended by the pos
tai authorities.
DIR. G. E. Baughman is a native of
Westminster, and since 1874 he has been
a successful dental practitioner, main
taing for the people of Carroll county,
through his skill and knowledge, the
very best and most scientific features of
modern dentistry, and which were ac-
quired by thorough training at the Bal
timore College of Dentistry and by years
of close and intelligent application and
experience in the operating room and in
the laboratory.
Dr. Baughinan finds time for only a
limited practice, the duties and response
bilities of the Postmastership engaging
the greater part of his time.
As a citizen and practitioner, Dr..
Baughman enjoys the esteem of the
community, and merits this esteem by
the fidelity and integrity characteristic
of all his relations.
