HATT|ESbURG A Center
FOR LARGE Retail TRADE
Modern, Well-Stocked, Wen-Lighted
Stores Afford Desirable Trading
Center for a Large Territory.

When it is considered that Hatties-
burg's compact shopping district, made
up of the most modern buildings and
tenanted by merchants with such pro-
gressiveness and business judgment,
is but very few years old and that
all this has been accomplished in such
short time, it makes the future of
the city loom large as business CEN
ter of vast possibilities. The increase
in population throughout the section
which is bound to follow the cam
paign of publicity and advertisement
of its resources, means greater sue
cess for the retail merchant already
established and those who will later
locate here, and means proportion
ately more advantages will be offer
ed the individual buyer.
1t is not as a trading place for the
citizens of Hattiesburg alone that it
is considered a market of exceptional
advantages, but to the hundreds of
/ citizens within a radius of so to 100
miles who live in the smaller COM
munities and are regular customers
of the local firms. the facilities offer
ed appeal strongly. The mail order
business enjoyed by some of the local
establishments amounts in the course
of a year to a volume of large pro-
portions. Being railroad center,
easy of access to the greatest num-
Der of residents of the contiguous ter
ritory, customers living in the smaller
towns along the several lines of rail
roads can conveniently spend the day
in the city, do their trading and re-

MERCHANTS GROCERY CO.
A CREDIT TO THE STATE.

One of the most substantial as we'll
as one of the largest wholesale gro
Gerry houses in South Mississippi is
the Merchants Grocery Co.. of which
T. S. Jackson is the active head. This
concern does not confine its business
to thee territory adjacent to Hatties-
burg, but does prosperous business
in almost every town i'll the whole of
South Mississippi. 1t has steadily ad-
vanced with other growing industries
of the territory, until today it stands
a monument to the business sagacity
and integrity of its owners which in
clude some of the best known men of
this and adjoining towns.
The business is under the personal
management of T. S. Jackson, one of
the city's most progressive and public
spirited citizens, whose aim has been
not only to build up his own business,
but the best interests of his town and
section. He has contributed in NO
small manner to the upbuilding and
prosperity of South Mississippi.

DIXIE MATTRESS CO.,
HOME INSTITUTION.

Among the manufacturing enter
prises of the city the Dixie Mattress
Company is one that contantly points
an object lesson to prospective manu-
facturers of other sections as an in
stitution which has achieved a sue
cess in their line of business, and is
an evidence of what other factories of
different nature could do if they
would cast their lots with the people
of this city. Mattresses of home
manufacture find no more ready sale
than the hundreds of other things that
could be made here. However, the
quality of the article that Mr.. Mitchell
has been turning out has had a whole
lot to do with tie success of his con-
Germ, combining a pleasant manner
with a hustling spirit he has built up
a splendid business and his product
goes to all parts of the South.

M. S. HAISFIELD FINDS
ADVERTISING PAYS.

A firm believer in printers ink and
one of the most progressive merchants
of Hattiesburg, is NJ. S. Haisfield. Mr.
Haisfield has persitently and quietly
gone along in the even tenor of his
way, steadily keeping in line with the
progress of the city. Being liberal
advertiser and backing up his asser-
tions with the goods, it is small won
der that he has achieved a deserved
success. He was several years on
Front street, but the continued growth
of his business compelled him to seek
new quarters, which he did in the
early part of the present year, moving
to his present store at the corner OF
Main and Pine streets, where Will
enlarged facilities he has been able tc
handle his business in a much more
satisfactory manner.

and institutions
DURING YEAR 1911
PAST YEAR HAS MARKED AN
EPOCH IN GROWTH OF THE
MAGIC CITY AND THE FUTURE
HOLDS GREATER GIFTS.

The year that will soon come to
close has been one of marked activity
in the industrial and educational de-
velopment of Hattiesburg and its en-
virOnS Progress of incalculable
worth has been made in every line of
public endeavor. Citizens of this sec
ton have every reason for pointing
with pride to the advances that have
been made and the continued manifest
of a public zeal that has few counter
parts in the whole of the South, and
the good work has only just begun
Never in its history have the pros
poets been as bright or it's opportuni
ties greater. Hattiesburg greets the
coming year fully prepared to cope
with even greater problems than those
that it has carried to a successful
elimination during the year that il

The securing of the Normal Colleg
and the consequent educational &C
tivity that brought about the placin
here of the Baptist Girls College, O

ing and material benefits. Other edl
cational interests have revived, leat
ing to a new High School building
now in course of erection, and whic
when completed, will stand besid

facture of fertilizer for every soil and
and the fact that their trade covers
a part of every section of the South
and Southwest speaks for itself. Be
sides the care that Mr.. Robbins has
given to the affairs of his company,
he has found time to be in the fore
front in the cause of every good public
and civic problem that has confronted
the citizens of Hattiesburg, contribut-
ing of his time and his means in pro-
noting every worthy cause that will
be of benefit to his town and his
section.
The plant of this concern covers a
large area and is one Of the chief
points of interest to visitors when
they come here to look over the OPP
portunities of new and grow

mable service to the farming and edu-
cational interests of Hattiesburg.
There have been established during
the past year a number of manufac-
turing enterprises of smaller scope
and Hattiesburg welcomes them and
it is pleasing to note that their ad-
vent has met with material recogni
ton in the way of liberal patronage.
The paramount need now of this Sec
ton is many such enterprises. With
ample railroad facilities and a reas-
enable freight rate that promises to
be lower still, there is no reason why
larger manufacturing enterprises can
not be induced to locate here. After
all the pay roll of city's enterprises
determines the business done. 1t
would be we'll to add that the Com
mercial Club will devote its energies
and make an active campaign to Sc
cure these NEEDED industries during the
coming year.
AS this section offers almost an in
exhaustible supply of raw material for
woodworking factories it occurs that
this class of manufacturing enter
prises would be the first to try and
attract A large furniture factory,
sash and blind works, box factory,
office fixture factory, sand, lime
gravel, paint, novelty concerns OF
every description, cabinet works, can
dy and cracker factories and a thou
sand and one such institutions coult
be operated profitably here. There
is great demand for a large canning
factory and plans are under way t
erect one at an early date. The di
versified farming movement that i

ment, will have been removed and an
added inducement offered to capital
seeking a field of profitable invest
ment. 1t takes time to get things
adjusted, but that the discrimination
will soon be a thing of the past is a
certainty the near future holds.
Another branch of the jobbing bust
ness which is full of bright promise
for the future and will be an entirely
new departure will come with the
colonizing of the fertile cut-over lands
of this section, and indications are
that this development will be rapid,
will be the shipping of the products
of the soil to other parts of the coun-
try. Trucking, fruit growing and the
raising of food crops will be along
large lines and with the proper organ
ization necessary for the marketing
of the products, new line of whole
sale trade will be developed and the
most profitable one to any community
for the money will all come home in
stead of passing through channels OF
exchange that leave only the profit
margin to remain.
Hattiesburg's leading wholesalers
and jobbers are:
The Hattiesburg Grocery Co., whole
sale grocers.
The Merchants Grocery Co., whole
