THE CORNER DRUG STORE
Kerner.MacNair Co.

The Corner Drug Store. so-called
from it's central location on the cor
ner of Garrett and Montgomery Sts.,
Just a few steps from the Seaboard
railroad passenger depot, is among the
well-known and popular Of Hender-
sons retail interests. It's popularity
rests solely on the fact that this es-
tabilshment possesses all the essen
tails of a first-class pharmacy, viz:
a large and complete stock, equipment
made up of pure and fresh goods and
standard productions generally within
the province of the drug line, and a
prescription service noted for its &C
curacy, reliability and strict integrity
in the compromising of medicines. The
first essential any one can verify by a
visit to this pharmacy, for attractively
arranged on shelves and show cases
are a complete collection of fresh and
pure drugs, all the leading proprietary
medicines, druggist sundries, surgical
supplies and dressings, perfumes and
toilet articles, novelty goods, cigars
nd tobacco and handsome soda fOun-
tain which dispenses cool and refresh
ing beverages during the season, flaw
ored with the purest and richest of
fruit syrups. The second essential is
found in the experience. and the con-
sequent knowledge, as result of this
experience, possessed by l.. c. Kerner

YOUNG'S MILLS
O. o. Young, PrOp'r.

In the industry known all over this
part of the country as Young's Mills,
Henderson furnishes another instance
Of a well established, flourishing and
popular enterprise. This concern is
exceptional in the character and mag
nitude of its business because one
product only is manufactured, and that
produced is the olden-time health-giv
ing, unbolted corn meal of established
excellence, grinding up as much as
twelve hundred bushels of corn daily.
The Young's Mills had their inception
as far back as 1889, when the pres
ent owner of this enterprise began the
manufacture of unbolted corn meal in
a mill having capacity of three hun
dred bushels of corn daily, located on
Sandy Creek about three miles east Of

many years, and which is still owned
by Mr.. Young, and operated by j. T.
Murray & Son for custom and market
grinding. The increasing business in
time outgrew facilities at this point,
necessitating greater equipment, which
was secured in 1899, by the erection
of a mill in Henderson on north Gar
nett street, which had daily capacity
of six hundred bushels. Still the bus
mess kept on increasing in volume
daily, requiring greater capacity to fill
orders promptly, and in 1904, the pres
ent large mill building was purchased

were made to adapt the property to
milling purposes, the plant was in

the history of Young's Mills Is a record
of constant progress and steady devel-
opment. The present mill property
adjoins the Seaboard depot in the heart
of Henderson's business district and
extends back from Garrett street to
the tracks of the above named railroad,
thereby securing the very best OF rail-
road facilities for the elevation OF corn
direct into the building and the loading
of the manufactured article into the
cars and depot, which enables the
quickest shipments of any mill In the
State. This building is substantial
three-story brick structure. 40x10O feet
in dimensions, and has a machinery
capacity equal to twelve hundred
bushels of corn daily. Such extensive
facilities have been the result of a
popular demand for an article OF
superior merit, and as such Young s
imbolted corn meal is acknowledged
by the retail trade and general public
along the Seaboard Air Line from Vir-
GINA down to the South Carolina line,

made constantly. A native of Vance

milling machinery, and for years work
