deliberately equipped store in Hender-
sOnville and has been told by travelling
men that it excels any thing in North
Carolina.
MI. Patterson has been in Hender-
sonville for a long number of years.
He is a firm believer in newspaper adj
vertising. He is by far the largest
advertiser in HendersonvilIe and his
trade has extended to such an ex-
tent in the adjoining counties that he
is extending his activities and taking
liberal space in the publications OF
adjoining counties as well as in news
papers of Hendersonville. He is a
progressive merchant; a good business
man; careful buyer and good seller;
is agreeable to deal with and a man
who is never known to be a Stacker
in things of community progress. A
great future in his new home is ex.
pected for him by his friends and GUS
tomerS-and legion they are.
