cago, and other large cities to whose trade they had never before catered. Although this extension of the firms efforts required the operation of two more factories, which in- creased their annual output more than million dollars, the results were obtained with practically no increase to the selling force-the best tribute in the world to the shoes themselves.
 But to get back to the S1oo,Ooo Club and its members, these men are doing more than making record breaking shoe sales. They are mak- ing independent fortunes for them- selves. The average salary of these ten salesmen for the past year was over So,5oo, while two of the mem- bers earned more than S1o,OOO apiece. This is considerable in ex- cess of the yearly salaries of our United States Congressman and Senators. Take the entires Govern ment service and you will find very few employees indeed whose salaries compare favorably with the mem- bers of the S1oO,oO0 Club.
 The ten salesmen who make up the membership of the Craddock- Terry Company's Sioo,ooo Club are J. B. Stroud, of North Carolina; Calvin Young, Jr., of Alabama; J. w. Jenkins, of Louisiana; A. L. Noell, of Virginia; Major P. J. Drew, of South Carolina; Minor 5. Mckee, of Alabama; E. B. Grad dock, of North Carolina; F. K. Per row, of Alabama; George Haugh, of Georgia; and A. H. Easley, of West Virginia. .u.

Mr. Stroud has been travelling for Craddock-Terr for about IS years, and has led the company's entire selling force since 1902. His ship ments first reached S2oo,ooo per year in 1906, and he has exceeded this record in each succeeding year, making his total shipments of shoes since that time exceed a million and quarter dollars. Being on the job with a good product is the terse way in which MT. Stroud tells of the secret of his sue cess. Like most good salesmen, he has more to say about the prod ucts he sells than the way in which he sells them.
 Calvin Young, Jr., came with the Craddock- Terry Company in the early part of 1907, and shipped a trihe less thar s6O,oOO worth the first year-a very credible record for a "first-year" man. The second year he sold little less than stoo,- GOO. In 1908 lie joined the ranks of the S1OO,o0o Club, with total sales of S128,Ooo, and has been a member ever since, his total ship ments last year amounting to over S2oO,OoO.
 J. w. Jenkins breaks into the s1oo,oOO Club from far away Lou isiana. He has as competition a territory much nearer to St. Louis, which is one of the largest shoe markets in the United States. It is great deal of satisfaction to MT. Jenkins to know that he sells far more goods in his territory than any of the St. Louis salesmen. MT. Jen- kins divides his time between sell

ing Craddock- Terry footwear and conducting very successful shoe store at Shreveport, La.
 To tell of the other members of the S1oo,ooo Club is but to prac- tically repeat the stories of the three salesmen already referred to in this article. Albert L. Noell, represent ing the company in part of Vir- ginia and West Virginia, has been selling Craddock-Terry products for the past 12 years, but in addition to his laborS as a salesman owns the controlling interest in Charles ton, W. Va., shoe store. Major P. J. Drew, of Columbia, s. C., is noted for three things: His prom thence in military circles in his State, as a prominent member of the Travellers Protective Association, and as corking good salesman of Craddock-Teny footwear.
 The other five members of the S1Oo,o0o Club are Minor s. Nc Rec, with headquarters at Montgom- cry, Ala; E. B. Craddock, who is a Virginian, travelling in North Caro- lina; F. K. Perrow, Virginian, who makes his headquarters at Annistor, Ala; George Haugh, one of the old. est and best known shoe saleSmen of the South, with headquarters at At lanta, Ga, and A. H. Easley, the youngest member of the Sioo,ooo Club, man who makes up in abil- ity what he lacks in years.
 George Haugh is the Craddock- Terry salesman who created quite q sensation in shoe selling soon after coming with the company by dis posing of a carload of shoes to one
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-03-10

Atlanta merchant. The latter part of last year he repeated by sending in an order from the Mcconnell Shoe and Clothing Company, of At- lanta, for over Si2,ooo worth of Craddock- Terry footwear, ship nent that would probably overfill two cars if forwarded at one time.
 The history of the Craddock-Ter- " Company is the best evidence in the world tha. the South is coming into its own. It has long been a market appreciated by Northern manufacturers. Today this great market is able 10 take care of itself iii footwear way, for in the Grad dockTerry Company it has a shoe manufacturing firm that is giving to the South better footwear than they ever before enjoyed, and at prices as low or lower than in the "good old days" before we ever heard of the high cost of living.
 The North has always been quick to grasp good thing. That is the reason the Craddock- Terry Company is already selling so many of their shoes above Mason and Dixon's line. You who read this article cannot do better than wear the footwear that IS making these members of the SiOO,OO0 Club successful You who sell footwear and believe that sat- isfied customer is the best kind of business asset cannot do better than to favor your customers with Grad dock-Terry shoes. Craddock-Terry shoes make good. Craddock-Terry dealers make good, which is the req son Craddock- Terry salesmen make good-and the reason the member. ship of the exclusive stoo,ooo Club is constantly growing.
