R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company has
surged forward with sincere belief III
the quality of it's brands-and firm
confidence in marketing them with in
diligently conceived and applied
newspaper and magazine advertising
The story of Richard ]. Reynolds
career is of real interest to every man
in business because humble as was it's
beginning, it proves what ambition
and sincerity and a fine realization
Of square dealing can produce in sue
cess. Principles that governed Mr..
Reynolds work from the very start
are the foundation of tle present en-
ormols business.
Mr., Reynolds was one of the first
men to see the possibilities of the
culture and manufacture of tobacco in
the worldrenowned Piedmont region,
and not lacking in courage and bold
ness, risked everything he had to try
it out. The venture has not only
blessed personally the labor of his own
hands, but likewise the labor of
thousands and thousands who depend
entirely upon the culture or manufac-
ture of tobacco for their livelihood.
Development of the Industry
Tobacco, as an industry, lacked all
system when Mr.. Reynolds entered the
business years ago. The grower was
subjected to laws of greed and chance,
which means he was paid for the to-
bacco he grew any price spectators
chose to fix. With the development of
manufacturing came real competition
for the leaf which in turn developed
splendid warehouses for it's proper
handling This produced system of
weighing and grading that completely
uprooted practices of the Spectator
and gave all an equal chance.
Mr. Reynolds is modest unassum-
ing man of unusual size, with indie
fatigable energy and independent
will. Among all the many thousands
of employees in the great factories at
Winston Salem, there is no enc more
approachable, more democratic in
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-05-04

character than the founder and presi-
dent, who watches with the closest
scrutiny and directs with extreme
foresight every phase of his immense
business.
Mr. Reynolds talks as Interestingly
as reads the story of his business sue
cess. 81 started my career in GROWN :
and manufacturing tobacco when
was a boy" said the founder, as h
chatted to the writer in the big eXclus-
i've building at Winston Salem a few
weeks ago, serving my time as lab
orer in a tobacco factory. At the age
of eighteen | was promoted to super
intendent of this factory. In those
days tobacco factories only ran four
months in the year and the other
eight months ! was engaged as a to-
bacco salesman.
Only to Make Fair Profit.
THE principles that governed my
work from the beginning are the foun-
dation of this business. In the early
days some of the boys on the road had
an idea that the ones who could lie
the biggest were the best statesmen
Nearly all of these fellows were gilt
takers and their influence was not the
best for a boy My father, realizing
this, told me the day that | started out
to sell tobacco that a man who would
lie for a dollar would steal dollar
advising me always, under all condi-

tions, to tell the truth about the to-
bacco I was selling and never ask a
price that would yield more than a
fair profit.
in the section in which | was rails
ed at that time railroads were few
and far between. l, therefore, loaded
wagon with tobacco and would drive
through the mountains, calling on
farmers, selling them their supplies
for year, taking in exchange for
this tobacco money or farm produce.
The experience | gained in manufac
| turing tobacco and selling the output
of the factory to actual consumers has
been and is today, valuable in the con-
duct of this business.
Experimenting in Advertising.
| in 1872 l felt the need of a more
thorough business education and gave
up this work to take a course at Il
business college. In 1873 | began the
manufacture Of tobacco in a log cabin
factory sixty miles from a railroad in
Patrick county, Virginia, with a cap
ital of $270O. The first year in bust
ness manufactured 10000 pounds,
the next year 10000 pounds and then
sold my brands anG trademarks to
my partners, and moved to Winston
Salem for the benefit of railroad fac
.iities and on account of this town be-
ing located in the center of the belt in
which the finest tobacco in the world
is grown.
81 erected here plant that cost 3d..
400 and began business with a capital
of $500, taking in partner, whom
bought out two years later We man
ufactured the first year 10000 pounds
which was the capacity of the plant
From then on, about every other year,
this factory was built on top, bottom
and additions made to each end, until
the business was increased to 100000
pounds, having taken eighteen years TO
secure this volume.
"In 1892 the business amounted to
,OS5,929 pounds; in 1898 the business
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-05-04

amounted to 1,0061O1 pounds. Seeing
that my business had lost over the
previous year and having had accum-
ulated more capital than was neces-
sary to run the business. l decided to
experiment in advertising. 1t was
really my first experience and | have
found it profitable ever since.
Big Returns from Advertising.
81 spent about $4,000 in 1894 ara
secured an increase to 1,215,32S
pounds. Seeing that the profits on the
increase | made more than reimburs-
ed me for the money invested, | was
influenced to make an appropriation
for the next year of $4,000 and erect
building with a capacity of ten
times the business that was being
done at that time. The $4,000 expen-
diture increased the business that year
to 2,126,763 pounds.
"The sixth year this factory was
overworked, the output representing
II, 389, 1922 pounds. Since that time the
appropriation for advertising has been
increased year after year proportion

advertising. When you know that in
1914 the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany's output amounted to many mil
lions of pounds of tobacco, it ISM
difficult to understand just what two
or three per cent. in advertising
means in dollars and cents. The
Reynolds advertising account is
among tie heaviest ever known.
In 1894 Mr., Reynolds first realized
that, properly applied and backed by
tobacco worth all he asked for it, ad-
vertising was profitable. He invested
$4,000 that year and saw his business
grow over 100000 pounds. Next year
he spent five times as much-and his
business doubled.
Sincere Belief in Quality.

ately with the increase in business"
Mr.. Reynolds is firm believer ia
surrounding himself with the able lieu
tenants. AS early as 1888 he effected
an arrangement with some Of his en-
ployes, whereby they would share iG
the profits of the business. In 1898
company was formed and incorporat-
ed. The percentage of profits that en-
ployes were receiving represented the
percentage of stock they secured in
the company A number of the same
employees are engaged in this bus
mess today.
Newspapers the Standard.
Newspapers and magazines have
constituted the backbone of all our
advertising" continued Mr.. Reynolds.

has a good product with which he can

The Contested Election Case

The contested election case of J.
Turner Cameron VS.. John +. Johnson.
for Short Term County Commissioned
was begun on Friday before Magis
trate B. B. Craycroft. the proceedings
consisting of hearing the testimony of
certain election officials in order to
ascertain from said testimony if there
be any legitimate reasons for asking
the Court to order recount of the
ballots cast. The counsel in the case
are Messrs. Mackie and Bond for Mr..
Cameron and H. M. Mccullough. ESQ.
for Mr.. Johnson. ~
The first witness sworn on FRIDAY
was Alan D. Price, who testified to
having delivered at Mr.. Johnson's
home the notice of contest.
Then followed the testimony of elec-
tion officials from each of the voting
precincts-only Democratic officials
however, being summoned. The hear
ing was adjourned from Friday to
Monday. After Mondays hearing an
adjournment was taken until Wednes.
day
Thus far nothing of Importance
seems to have developed. All the wit
nesses, of course, testified to the re-
lection of some ballots for proper
causes, but asserted that there was no
difference of opinion amongst the cleo
ton officials or watchers as to the pro-
prlety of these reflections.

Suspended Far Marrying

The marriage in Elkton last week
of Miss Eugenia Kelly, to "Al" Davis,
by the Rev. Henry Carr, after the
other Elkton ministers had refused to
perform the ceremony, produced an
other chapter of sensations this week,
when Mr.. Carr was silenced as min
lster of the Reorganized Church of
Jesus Christ, Latter Day Saints. He
was summoned last Saturday night to
brooklyn to the home of the Presiding
Elder and there in the presence of
other ministers of his sect he declared
that he had been misled by Davis. The
rules of his denomination forbid the
remarrying of divorced persons and
Mr.. Carr said he would have refused
to perform the ceremony had he not
been deceived. His ecclesiastical trial
will take place in about a month.
Meanwhile he is SUSPENDED from the
ministry, a decision in which Mr.. Carr
himself concurs, relinuuishing his
license to his Presiding Elder.

Gently became unwillingly separated
from his diamond scarf pin, valued at
$3.50. He notified the Wilmington

forts the pin was located in a Phila-
delphia pawn-shop. Later they ar
rested young man by the name of

he took it from her. Anyhow, Mr..

Delaware set the stage for the en-

Thanksgiving Day at a football con-
test with William and Mary, of Vir-
ginia. The crowd was there but the
contest was not. The Virginia boys
didn't seem to know what the game
was they We're supposed to be playing
and the way Delaware toyed with
them was farcical. At the end of the
first half Delaware's regular team
withdrew and a team of substitutes

But it was the same old story and the
game closed with final score of 90
