Concerns which win, to a large
extent the leadership in their line
OF busienss, and gain the esteem
and confidence Of the public, do
so, by no mere chance but by hon
est efforts to be fair and reason
able, both with labor and the pub
lie. Concerns which dcviate from
this principle are certain to fall
of their own weight. On the 9TH
err hand, enterprises in which
considerable capital has been in
vested, which treat their custom
ers with fairness and considera-
ton, are entitled to all the conf
lence and encouragement which
can be extended them. This point
is well eXemplified in the business
of the Charleston Liquor Co. This
concern has always exhibited a
most considerate attitude toward
the cause Of labor and the labor
movement. Mr.. E. II. IIanle, Sec
rotary and Treasurer Of this con-
Germ, is one of our most staunch
friends. To be popular without
vanity is one of his many good
traits. This concern, located at
$40 Kanawha St, deals in liquors,
wholesale and retail. Among
their leading brands Of whisky
are: cold Smoke House., "Green-
brier Sour NASH, Dougherty
Pure Rye, "Emmons Rye, and
wines Of all vintages. Mr.. Hanlle
is always atfable, always APP
proachable. and always in good
humor He believes in "square
deal' and workingmen should
punctuate this endorsement in a
substantial manner.

Intelligent citizens are fast
learning to realize that for contin-
ued prosperity it is necessary that
capital and labor should go hand
in hand. 1t is therefore only natur-
al that movement which has for
its object the bringing of employ
err and employee into closer touch
with one another should meet with
great and growing favor on all
sides. This concern has always
exhibited the most fraternal good
will towards labor. Two years
ago this business was incepted
across the street from its present
location in small building. Later
they removed to their present To-
cation at the Cor. of Kanawha and
Court SITS. They occupy an i'm
menSe floor space and maintain six
floors in all. They are dealers in
furniture, stoves, lamps, rugs, lace
curtains, etc. We take pleasure in
giving this concern place of
prominence in this review and
hope that its well mcritcd success
will continue.
