New York Architect Opens Office
Here Sees Towns Advantages.


Mr.. III. G. Meyer, New York
architect, who has spent the sum-
mer in Hendersonville, and conse-
quently had ample opportunities
for observing this towns ad-
vantages, has come to the conclu-
sion that here hes a splendid
field for his practice.
He, therefore, has decided to
establish himself in Henderson
vile, with Offices in the First Ma
tional Bank building.
This decision is merely another
evidence of the prosperous out
look which is so apparent In this
town. Hendersonville is grow
ing in leaps and bounds, and the
next few years will see building
operations conducted on an enor-
nous scale.
Mr.. Meyer, who has been re-
tanned, for the past two years, by
the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury Department in Wash
ington, D.. c., as perspective
craftsman, is a member of the
Washington Architectural Club
and the Architectural League of
America. Previous to his con-
nection with the federal govern
ment, he was employed as archi-
tect by the board of education of
New York city.
