This old and favorabIy know
lumber firm has recently changed
hands-Mr. Foster Bennett sue
ceeding Mr.. j.. C. Morrow.
Probably no man in the county
is better known for absolute fair
ness and square dealing than Mr.,
Bennett. Everyone in the county
almost, knows him personally and
to know him is to respect him.
Mr.. Bennett brings to the old
firm of Rigby-Morrow a knowl-
edge of the lumber business which
has been born OF long experience.
He carries a splendid stock of lum-
Der, sash, doors and builders sup
plies and he seems to have solved
the problem of keeping the quality
up and the prices down.

beauty under the care of Mr.. d
S. Pace, president OF the company
Mr.. Pace is a 3an OF many parts
and his business interests are large
and varied. He is a real estate
operator of skill and experience,
with a reputation for perfectly
square dealing which is worth a
very great deal indeed.
Mr.. PAGES office is on Main

to headquarters. II not they should
do SO. 1t 10 not to our interest co
close our doors TO the tourists, for
whom we advertised with glowing pro-
misses of all kinds Of accommodations
at reasonable prices.
In this connection it is not amiss to
say that reports are circulating in this
raountain territory to the effect that
certain sections have had an overflow
of visitors and that by reason Of this
condition boarding house and hotel
keepers have advanced their rates
simply for the reaso that they can
take advantage of their guests at this
particular time. We are forced to be-
lieve that this report is erroneous.
Something is wrong somewhere. If
these reports be well founded, we will
feel the results in after years. We
must treat our visitors with respect;
deal with them as ladies and gentle
men.
If our bureau Of information is to
fulfill its mission, the people Of Hen
dersonville must cooperate with the
management to the fullest extent, for
v ithout cooperation its services viii
be sadly crippled

THE ST. JOHN

The ST. John Hotel, Henderson,
ville's leading hotel, has more
guests this. year than at any one
time since it has been built.
The dining room, which comfort
ably seats 200 people, is often
crowded, the doors havesto be
locked, and a second table set be-
fore the remaining guests could
dine.
On Sunday last there were 80 ex-
ira dinner guests, including atour-
ing party OF 80 in charge of Miss
Cooke. This party desired to g
main over night, but lack of ac-
eommodations at the st. John COM
PEELED them to leave for the next
point on their journey.

HENDERSONVILLE LUMBER
COMPANY.

The Hendersonville Lumber Co., is
the oldest lumber firm in Henderson
ville-and certainly one of the most
favorably known.
The members of the firm are expe-
rienced men, careful, wisely progress
sive, and the constantly increasing vol
TINE of their business testiies to their
efficiency and reputation.
At a very heavy expense this well
known firm has recently installed
some costly machinery for the pur-
pose of making screen doors, windows
and door frames, odd size doors and
windows, and general shop work. An
experienced cabinet maker is in
charge and this is undoubtedly the be-
ginning of a business which is pc,
tentionally great.
For there is absolutely no reason on
earth why frst-class doors and win
dow frames should not be manufac-
tured here in Hendersonville. They
IA be, and should be, and therefore
the business is potentially great.
Messrs. Howard Bennett, ]. H. Todd
and w. A. Bennett, who comprise the
firm, believe in Hendersonville and it's
future and are stalking their money
this future.

LAUREL PARK

Up to Tuesday night, Aug. 10,
seventy-three thousand and five
hundred passengers had "taken
the trolley to Laurel Park"-the
most beautiful natural park in A
merica.
This is the answer to the 4ues-
ton, often asked:
"What does Laurel Park mean to
Hendersonville and to many thou
sands who annually visit THE Re
sort of the South?"
For Laurel Park, a beautiful es-
tate, truly, is to all intents and
purposes a great city park.
But it is a city park which costs
the taxpayers of the city not one
cent. 1t is a Park which attracts
tourists here-which furnishes
them while here, with the greater
portion of their amusements and
pleasures.
Laurel Park is Hendersonville's
greatest asset, and Hendersonville
is fortunate indeed in having
Laurel Park.

OF a modern garage-one where
the motor car owner is assured of
skilled work and moderate prices.

IT

If theme is a household word in
Henderson county it most certain
ly is-"Hunter's Pharmacy"
For many years, for very many
years, the folks of Henderson
county and of Hendersonville have
beengoing to Hunters Pharmacy,
until now it is a habit and they
can't stop if they would.
But DR.. Hunters superb new
store is but another attraction
and the folks are going there in
increasing crowds. It's right on
the electric line corner, you know.
The interior of the store is mag
nificent. The service is all that
it should be-courteous and care
full.
DR.. Hunter knows that Quality"
is the only thing that is endur-
ing, and the whole forms a combi-
nation which draws the dense
crowds which fills the handsomest
drug store in the State by day and
by night.

It's one Of the maveIs Of the age
rust how the postoffice people DO
get out the enormous amount Of
mail which the tremendous tour
list crowd here has brought upon
them.
From even in the morning until
late at night the overworked
clerks are at it. The long tables
are piled high with thousands of
pieces of mail and only the long
training of the clerks makes pos
sible the distribution of it at all.
The postoffiee facilities are to-

J. R.

EQUALITY counts" That is one Of
the reasons for the very large bus
mess which j. r. Wilson has built
up. There are other reasons also,
absolute square dealing and per-
fectly s~ystematized business meth
DDS. Mr.. Wilson sells lumber and
builders supplies; and he knows
that business from start to finish.
He knows good lumber, and he
knows where to buy it. Also
and this is a very important mat
ter,-he knows how to take care
of it after he has bought it. There
fore he sells good goods at the
lowest prices for which such goods
can be sold.
When Mr.. Wilson started in
business here, he was a compare
tive stranger; he had lived here
Tor only a few years. But in a
very short time he had o. the
enviable reputation which he still
reputation of being a
capable, upright, clean-cut bust
man, a. man who can be de-
pended on at all times to treat
all his customers with absolute
fairness, a man whose goods are
exactly what he represents them
to be. Therefore it is not at all
surprising that his business has
grown steadily and rapidly.

P. B. B & SON

P. B. Gibbs & Son, who have butt
up a thoroughly substantial bus
mess here by strict attention to
detail to- their customers needs
have decided On a change in their
business policy, and it is one which
means much to both the firm and
it's patrons.
Beginning Monday, August 25,
this firm will sell for cash only.
Their reasons are convincingly
set forth elsewhere In this paper
and a careful reading of their
statement will be profitable.

ACCOMMODATING VISITORS.

The establishment of an information
bureau in Hendersonville last week is
very commendable. Tourists must be
accommodated or they will never re-
turn. The bureau of information has
very important functions. Upon its
efficiency depends the POPULARITY of the
town to a great extent at a season like
this when tourists are subjected to
many annoyances before getting salts
factory accommodations. First i'm
pressions are lasting and if a tourist
a difficulty in finding a suitable place
to stay, it is likely that he will not say
very nice things about the town and
people and after his departure.
While the town is comfortably filed
with visitors our. accommodations are
moi taxed, and it is to be regretted that
people have left us and reported that
suitable accommodations could not be
found at the boarding houses of our
city and community at the rate OF
$3.50 per day. We can accommodate
them and it is difficult to understand
why conditions justified this export
when we have a bureau Of information
TO loo after the interests of the visi-
tors. Probably those having accom-
haodatons have not promptly reported

THE HOTELS

HendersonvilIe is a resort noted
Tor its high class hotels and board

Among these houses which have
contributed to Hendersonville's
reputation should be mentioned:
The st. John Hotel, The Ken
lucky Home, Park Hill, The Oakley
Florida Home, The Engleside, Mrs.
Stradley's, The Summer Home and
the Blue Ridge Inn.
They attract visitors here and
induce them to stay-which is as
it ought to be.

SIGNS OF GROWTH

The crowd is here,-a crowd
which is estimated to be the big
gest in the city's history. Hender-
sonyille is full. And the crowd is
not confined to Hendersonville; ii
has overlooked all over the coun-
ty..
We we're ready for an enormous
number of visitors. Year by year
the accommodations, in town and
county, have been steadily grow
ing. And these increased accom-
modations are none too great for
the very large crowd which has
come. The popularity of Hender-
sonNille and Henderson county as
a resort is now more firmly estab-
lished than ever before.
This is very gratifying. But still
more gratifying are the indications
that our folks are learning to look
at the visitor business in it's true
light as a business proposition.
In other words they r learning
to inquire not only how much
money this business brings here,
but also,-which is far more impor-
tant.-how much of that money
STAYS here. And a good many
of our farmers are taking active
steps to make a large proportion
of that money stay here. They
see that the chief gain from the
summer crowd is the market thus
provided for our produce; they e
alize that this market helps only
so far as we raise the produce;
and they are setting to work in
earnest to raise it.
This means much,-more than
can easily be estimated,-for the
future progress of Hendersonville
and Hendersonscounty. The secret
of prosperity is more farming and
better farming /; and we r rapid
ly learning to realize this. The
action of the Board of County
Commissioners, with the cooper
alton of the County Board of Ed
ucation. the Greater Henderson
vile Club and the Farmers Union,
in contracting for the services of
a thoroughly trained expert to in
the farmers cooperative de-
monstration work has at once
placed Henderson county in the
line of progress.
Those whose business brings
them in contact with large num-
bers of the representative men Of
the city and county cannot fail to
another very gratifying
fact and that is. the insistent de-
mand for manufacturing ~enterpris-
es. People have to live for twelve
months in the year and that calls
for twelvel montha work in the
and factories afford that
work and put money in circulation
all the time. Therefore, we are
to have factories here. And
before many months Mt least one
along that line will be
pade, which will deserNe,-and re-
neivs,-carefu attention.
