Lynchburg, Va, June 2s.-The history
OF the growth and development OF the
wholesale and manufacturing shoe busI-
mass OF Lynchbug is more or less famil-
far 70 thousands OF merchants IN the ter
rltory east OF the Mississippi and south
OF the Potomac and Ohio rivers. and to
many OF the border States north and west
OF these limits. but the public has small
conception Of what is conceded to be
among the remarkable industrial devel-
opments OF the South which has taken
place IN this little city In the foothills OF
the Blue Ridge at the intersection OF
three OF the South's trunk line railways.
The first venture IN the field OF whole
sale distribution Of shoes was made in
Lynchburg in 1873 by the firm Of Witt &
Watkins. whose success from the start
commanded the attention OF the rather
localized territory in which this firm then
operated.
Ten years later, in 1855. the second
house. that OF Craddock Terry & Co
was established. A few years later the
third firm came into the field. and then
another and still others, until to-day
there are six wholesale shoe firms in this
little city, doing business in twenty or
more States in the Union. These corpo-
rations as at present organized are the
George D. Witt Shoe Company. Craddock-
Terry Company. Lynchburg Shoe Com
pany, Smith -Brisco Shoe Company. BeaS-
ley Shoe Company. and Cosby Shoe Com
pany.
Impetus Given in 1901.
Up to 1901 Lynchburg. while occupying
a prominent position as a wholesale shoe
market. had not entered upon the field OF
manufacturing which was destined TO
give her pre-eminent position as the shoe
center OF the South. and place her along
with the greater shoe manufacturing
cities OF the East and Middle West.
In 1901 the Craddock-Terry Company
built and equipped its Southland Shoe
Factory, which at that time was the first |
and only large. well-equipped shoe fac |
tory IN the South This factory was built /
and equipped along scientific lines and ex-
cited wide attention and favorable COM
ment throughout the country. particular

DEAFNESS Cannt be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
way TO cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
sional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever,
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an indamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
