easy-going country village. But the
village grew, and the bank grew with

New Banks.
At the beginning of the present CEN
fury a second bank was established
the Bank of Hendersonville with J. p.
Hickman as president. Both institu-
|tions were successful and did a profita"
| BILE business. But in 1902 a ~consoilda-
ton was effected, the resultant institu-
ton bearing the name Of the Bank of
| Hendersonville. For three years the
rapidly growing town had only one
bank. But in 1905 the Commercial
Bank was established with a capital
stock of SIG, 900, and the new institu-
ton enjoyed from the start a remarka-
BILE degree of popularity and success.
In 1897 it obtained q charter from the
United States Government under the
name and style Of the First National
Bank. The capital stock was $4,000.
In order to be able to handle certain
important lines OF business which are
not included in Uncle Sans charters,
the leading stockholders Of the First
National organized the Wanteska Trust
and Banking Company under a charter
from the State OF North Carolina. The
charter was very bread and enabled
the Wanteska to act as administrator to
handle real estate and all kinds Of in
surance, an dengage in various other
lines of business. And the banking
laws of this State r very strict, pro-
viding for thorough examination and
supervision, SO that the large powers
conferred were combined with the ut
most degree Of safety. Working in Co
operation, and having to a large extent
the same stockholders and directors,
the First National and Wanteska trans.
acted an immense amount of business
and earned large profits. On January
1, 1908, a consolidation was effected be-
tween the First National and the Bank
of Hendersonville. under the name of
the First National Bank Of Henderson
Vile.
The town grew rapidly AMI prosper
ed steadily; and the First National ell
joyed an equally steady and still more
rapidly growing prosperity. Its direc-
tors reached the conclusion that condi-
lions warranted a large increase in the
capital stock, and the stockholders vot-
ed to increase 1t to 100000.

JUSTUS PHARMACY.

Justus Pharmacy, the old reliable
drug store, established in 1882 stand
ing on the same corner since the last
10 years of business when Henderson
vile was a mere village, has enjoyed
"a remarkable successful career. DIR
". II. Justus a native of this city has
the credit Of making this store one of
the most popular drug stores in Wes-
tern North Carolina. He attended
strictly to business and has always ex-
tended every courtesy to his patronage
consistent with good business manage
ment.
Some few years ago Justus Pharma-
|cy became a member Of the famous
United Drug company and has since
that time has had linked with its name
the Rexall store. DR.. Justus is a stock
holder in the Rexall Drug company
and is the exclusive agent for all it's
products in this county.
To meet the heavy demand during
the summer rush at his soda fountain,
DR.. Justus has Just installed a new
fountain, n OF the most modern and
convenient fountains made. With the
new fountain the drug store can han
die mor business and eliminate some
of the rush during the warm summer
days when the crowds are in the city.
Justus Pharmacy al well be termed
a family drug store as in many cases,
the oldest inhabitants have been trad
ing here ever since the store has been
established and many of the wealthy
families at Flat Rock have been among
this stores best customers for thirty
years. :.

The lumber business in Henderson
county has grown into enormous fig
ures within the past few years. Sum-
mer homes, club colonies and other inn
provements haYe increased the de-
mands for good lumber considerable.
Nearly i've years ago J. r. Wilson
came to this city and started a lumber
yard. He realized from the very start
that there was promise of a good open
ing in his line. Every year since that
date he has kept a close tab on his
business and is delighted to find that
it has increased more than he antici-
pated. Mr.. Wilson is not satisfied
with the system he has been running
his plant under and every now and
then he adds a convenience CONSTANT
with good business methods. Today
he has one of the best systematized
lumber yards OF it's size in the state.
The very closest attention is paid to
orders received by his firm and it is
upon this method that he has built up
such a large business. Mr.. Wilson
states that he a sell lumber as close
as any other concern i'm the county
and bases the assertion upon the fact
that there is no lost motion around his
yards. If you order today and the
bill Of goods is in the yard you get
the same today. When you order the
best grade lumber there is no doubt of
your getting same from J.. r. Wilson.
Visitors and those contemplating
building can always find a ready well

and retail lumber dealer. Estimates
and prices ~cheerfully given. Its any

"A RECORD OF SUCCESS"

(From a Folder issued by the First
Bank and Trust Company Of this city,
The organization of the First Bank
and Trust Company, which was effect
ed January 1, 1913, is an event Of I'M
usual interest and Importance to Hen
Jacksonville and Henderson county.
This institution is the newest bank in
the county. It is also the oldest bank

solicitations, it has inherited the bust
ness, the strength and the prestige not
only of the First National Bank and

pany, but also Of the Commercial Bank,
the Bank of Hendersonville, and the
State Bank of Commerce.

HuNTER,S PHARMACY.

The Drug Store Beautiful" is a
name that al very properly be ap-
piled to Hunters Pharmacy; as it is
one of the most beautiful, commodious,
well arranged and well lighted drug
stores in the State.
Not only may the owner, Mr.. F. ".
Hunter, be proud of it, but the people
Of this entire section can look upon it
with great appreciation and admira-
ton.
Situated on the corner of 5th avenue
and Main street, now known Is the
Electric Line Corner" it is the very
best business location in the city, be-
Jag almost in the center of the town.
The Laurel Park Railway having its
principal station at this corner, makes
this store in the summer season re-
semble. by the constant coming and
going of the crowds, some big city's
passenger station.
Artistic tiled floor, heavy beamed
ceiling, rich mahogany fixtures, guam
titles Of Plate glass. big mirrors and
~vari-colored art glass all conspire to
charm the eye with pleasing effects.
The stock of drugs and sundries car
ried by Hunters Pharmacy is very
large and varied and often visitors are
surprised to find many uncommon
drugs in this store that are not carried
by their own home people.
The slogan adopted, Everything in
Drugs" is peculiarly fitting.
The store is lighted by its own sys-
tenn of gas lights and is equipped
throughout with electric call service.
A steam heating plant is the means

Bright Prospects.
Thus the First Bank and Trust Com
pany is the inheritor of a long line of
unbroken prosperity. Each OF the five
banks whose business and prestige the
new institution inherits has been con-
spicuously successful. And bright as
the past has been, the prospects for the
future are still brighter. The capital
stock is $3.50 the surplus fund is
SIS, 000, the line of deposits is about
$4OO. 900 and shows every indication of
rapid growth. The board Of directors
is composed of some of the most sue
cessful business men in the county.
The Offices are filled by men who have
had wide experience in all branches Of
banking and who have a uniform re-
cord Of making good. The charter is
of the broadcast scope. The various de-
partments Of the business are CONSOLE
dated under one roof and one general
management, thus avoiding the lost
motion" which was inevitable while the
business was divided.
Under these circumstances the new
bank is exceptionally we'll equipped for
working thoroughly the large field
which it's charter opens to it. And
that field has never before been thor
oughly worked, for none Of the prede-
cessors of the First Bank and Trust
Company has had adequate facilities.
The generous harvests which have
heretofore been reaped are only a frac-
ticn of what can-and, in all human
%probbility, WILDE done by the new
bank in the near future.
Why Money Is I'm Demand.
Money is always in strong demand
In Hendersonville, because the city is
growing. Evidences of this growth
bound cA every side, pew develop
ments, great and small, are being un-
dertaken all the time. And the pro-
gressive. far-sighted city builders are
men Of limited lean who cannot UNI
aided, complete the tasks which they
have undertaken; they need ready CAP
ItGl In larger amounts than they them
selves can supply. They have ample
security to offer; and the bank which
can meet their needs can build up a
very large business for itself and at
the same time be an important factor

no bank here has had sufficient re-
ource to handle more than a frac-
ton of such business.
Real Estate Business.
Real estate in Hendersonville ana
Henderson county changes hands with
increasing frequency owing to the in
creasing number of outsiders who wish
to own property here. In the past
ninety days the new bank and it's pre-
dccessor, the Wanteska, have made a
number of sales, and five of the larger
sales aggregated 5000. With the
more adequate organization which has
now been effected, this department will
be worked up to a higher degree of
efficiency.

steadily developed is insurance. The

SEEK FOR THE "SUNNY SIDE"
TO Look Always for the Best Is One
Of the Main Secrets Of Lies
Happiness.

One who boards a train on a hot
lay is usually careful to choose seat
On the shady side. II we took as much
care to look on the sunny side as we
DO to sit on the shady side this would
be far more contented and peaceful
world.
The best of good habits to cultivate
ls that of seeing things as radiant
and glorious food Of daylight shows
them, not as shapes dimly deserted in
the gloom of pestilential cavern
Upturn a stone in the field-and on
the under side, the side away from the
sun, you will find damp and mouldy
foulness, with all manner Of crawling
many-legged creatures that run away
from the light because they do not
love 1t. How different it is from the
beauty of the flowers and the verdure
of the greensward living in the open
and looking toward the sky! In life it
is like that. We have not ascertained
the secret of happiness until we have
learned to look, to work, and to live
forever on the sunny side.-Philadel

KEEP HUNTERS FROM BIRDS
One Good Thing, and About All, That
Can Be Said for the PestiIent
Mosquito.

In the north of Canada the mosquito
reigns supreme. The swarms that rise
from streams, lakes and marshes, as
each comes to the urface and emerge,
dry, from the skin he wore when
wiggler in the water, cannot be
checked or resisted. Though weakly
blown aside by the wind or driven off
by smoke, they triumph by the force
Of numbers.
There Is compensation for their viz.
ulent annoyance, and even for their
transmission Of the germs of malaria,
nompensations more important than
the feeding of trout and bass fry.
They protect our feathered game dur.
ing the nesting season and insure i'm.
munity to the fiocks of migrants that
rear their broods in the northern
woods. The egg collector, the skin col.
tector and all the inquisitive, curious
and destructive who would otherwise
invade the woods and marshes during
the nesting season, are warned off by
that ominous and persistent hum. 1t
q more effective than all the game
preserving and bird-protecting stat
1tes. 1t insures safety during that
helpless time when the mother bird
ian only futter along the ground in
paralyzed terror, drawing the invader
away from her treasured but helpless
offspring While the mosquito reigns
supreme the bird life that ranges the
continent will nest unmOlested in its
varied northern retreats.

To Convert Gypsies.

In a never-ending, restless tide, a
million gypsies surge to and fro across
Europe. From east to west they mi
CRATE at the beginning of summer and
west to east in the fall. Nowhere are
they wanted, everywhere are they
eyed with suspicion, but still every
year they wander, and the authorities
Of the countries they cross dread their
coming and are relieved when they go.
There is always trouble at the
frontiers. Here the wanderers are
stopped, questioned and often impris,
oned as vagrants. But there is moth.
ing to do but finally let them go, and
they invariably return the next year
An effort to aid and protect these
gypsies is being made by Swiss
clergyman, Rev. H. Ecuyer. He has
organized a society one of the pur

sizes in the Christian religion. for these
