the quality OF its brands-and firm
confidence in marketing them with IN
diligently conceived and applied

The story of Richard ]. Reynolds
career IS of real interest to every
man in business, because, humble as
was its beginning. it proves what am
bition and sincerity and fine realf-
cation OF square dealing can produce
in success. Principles that governed
Mr.. Reynolds work from the very
start are the foundation of the pres
ent enormous business.
Mr.. Reynolds was one of the first
men to see the possibilities of the
culture and manufacture of tobacco
in the world-renowned Piedmont re-
gion. and not lacking in courage and
boidness, 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 subject to laws of greed and
chance, which means he was paid for
he tobacco he grew any price specu-
lators chose to fix. With the develop
ment Of manufacturing came real
competition for the leaf, which in
turn, developed splendid warehouses
for its proper handling. This pro-
duced system of weighing and grad
ing that completely uprooted prac
tees of the Spectator and gave all an
equal chance
Mr.. Reynolds is a modest, unassum-
ing man of unusual size, with indefa
tigable energy and independent will.
Among all the many thousands of en-
ployes in the great factories at Win
ston-Salem, there is no one more APP
proachable, more democratic In char
acter than the founder and president,
who watches with the closest scrutiny
and directs with extreme foresight
every phase of his immense business.
Mr.. Reynolds talks as interestingly
a reads the story of his business sue
cess. Il started my career in grow
ING and manufacturing tobacco when
was boy said the founder, as he
chatted to the writer in the big execu-
tive building at Winston-Salem few
weeks ago, serving my time as a
laborer in tobacco factory. At the
age of eighteen ! was promoted to
superintendent of this factory. In
those days tobacco factories only ran
four months in the year and the other
eight months I was engaged as to-

Newspapers the Standard.

Newspapers and magazines have
constituted the backbone of all our
advertising" continued Mr.. Reynolds.
81 believe that manufacturer wso
has a good product with which he can
make a popular appeal. and will tell
the truth about it in the daily news
papers, backed with good selling or
eanization, will make an unqualified
success. I have had ample expert
ence with this form of advertising to
prove, beyond, any doubt. that news
papers are. unquestionably, the stand
ard form of advertising.
This business is international In
it's scope. We. therefore, have passed
the stage on several brands as far as
local advertising is concerned. Hence,
in connection with newspaper adver-
Using. we use national publications. In
establishing brands we cover the
country section by section. relying on
newspapers for our main advertising
support.
when you consider the number Of
newspapers that daily go into the mil
lions of homes and how dependent we
all are upon them for the worlds
news. it would be hard to depreciate
their value as an advertising medium
After all, it's a simple matter Of manu-
fa occurring good article-and letting
the people know the truth about it.

of questioning witnesses before the

Federal building was turned over to
Lawyer Thurman. RedfeId looked

RobeTF Reid testified before Red

1910 to $500 a few days before the
horror happened. He said the East
land had often carried 5000 passen-
gers and he thought $500 was safe.
Captain Nilsson, local inspector at
Cleveland, was another witness. He
allowed the Eastland only 1000 pas
sengers and that within five miles
from shore. If the Eastland was to
cross the lake she must carry only
653, Nelson certified.
How and why these two inspectors,
Reid and Nilsson, went straight
