In addition to the. 20 Ameri-

working under the general su-
perviSion of Seton H. Thompson,
head of the Alaska Fisheries di-
vision.
Thanks to the Governments
care. the Pribilof herd is in bet
ter shape today than it has ever
been. During the years when it
was Russian-owned, no slaugh-
terlng restrictions were in force:
and for three years after the is
lands passed under United States
control in the Alaska Purchase
Of 1867. private American firms
were allowed to plunder without
restraint, 1t is estimated that
$4,000 seals had been killed by
1869 when Congress passed a
law giving the Treasury Depart
ment exclusive control of the
islands. Sealing operations were
then conducted by two COM
panies under lease from the
Treasury. one being the Alaska
Commercial Co., which operated
from 1870 to 1890, and the other
the North American Commercial
Co.. which leased from 1890 to
1910.
In addition to the operations
OF these two companies, Japan,
Canada and Russia had all be-
gun pelagic, or open-sea, killing
Of seals, which could not be con-
trolled by this country. BY 1910
the Pribilof herd had been re-
duced by indiscriminate Slaugh-
ter to no more than 125,000
animals.
1911 Treaty AbrOgated.
Faced finally with the realiza-
ton that something drastic
would have to be done, the
United States. Great Britain,
Japan and Russia entered into
a treaty on July z. 1911. which
provided for protection of the
herd at sea and a fair division
Of the skins taken during the
mating-seaSon on the Pribilofs.
This treaty remained in opera
ton until Japan abrogated it on
October 2. 1941.

I'M Soles Company Has "A Year
Record OF Successful Service

The J. M. Soles Company can
look with pride to its past record
of service to the people in the
Tabor City area. 1t is one of the
towns oldest establishments, hav-
ing been established IA years ago
in the town of Mt. Tabor.
Its beginning was in a wooden
structure located on Liveoak
Street, which is at present being
used as storage warehouse for
the company. When the business
first opened its doors the variety
of merchandise was rather limited.
The biggest trade was done in
buying and selling cross-ties and
hides, with groceries as a kind of
side-line. Much of the business
was done on the barter system
and the exchanging of chicken and
eggs or other products was a COM
mon day practice, AS money was
very scarce then and anything was
used to take the place of it.
Business increased and in 1919
1t was decided that the old wooden
building with its kerosene lamps
for lighting was too crowded and
a new modern brick structure was
built and the business was moved
to the site where it has remained
for nearly 35 years.
New lines and varieties OF mer-
chandies were added at this time

certain other necessary merchan-
disc he secured the Maytag and
Admiral Refrigerator franchise
which placed him in the gas and
electrical appliance business. This
was his first expansion fro.:, gas.
His volume of business continu-
ed to increase but he found that
he was losing business in his linn
tied field OF supply for his Gus
toners. In January of 1853 he emit
tered the furniture field so that
he would be able TO outfit the
modern homes OF today in every
respect. He now carries complete
line Of modern and conventional
furniture and customers are able
to furnish their entire home with
merchandise from his store.
Mr.. Wright contributes his sue
cess and expansion to hard work
and the loyalty of the people of
the Tabor City area. lie has al
ways endeavored 20 treat his GUS
toners right in every way and his
slogan is You Can't Go Wrong
With Wright
Although his expansion has been
at a fast pace he does not intend
to slow down now and is always
looking around for new fiends to
enter.
Mr.. Wright is married and has
two sons. He is member Of the

commissioner and active in vari-
Gus clubs and organizations in

the people of Columbus County
with IA warehouses.
Today the farmers of Columbus
County are served by % modern
warehouses which sold over CO.
100000 pounds of tobacco last sea-
son.
The leading tobacco companies
are all represented on tht county
tobacco markets with expert staffs
In that field. Each company has
houses for the preparation of the
tobacco for shipment to factories.
When the businessmen of the
county realized the Importance of
tobacco in the building of a great
er county they began extensive
advertising campaigns. Today
there is no county in the bright
leaf tobacco belt which does more
advertising of its markets than
does Columbus.
Perhaps many farmers will long
remember August &c, 1927 as
Golden Day. Every farmer who
sold tobacco in Whiteville was
paid in gold. The banks were sup
piled with over S75,O 900 in gold
for the specific purpose of reward
ing the farmers for selling their
golden leaf in Whiteville.
All towns in the county TODAY
carry on an extensive program of
advertising the tobacco industry
and for the purpose of the expan-
sion of this industry which has
had such phenomenal growth.
The County for the 1853 season
had total acreage of tobacco of
2+,OO5 acres which produced So
9l8,82l pounds for a gross income
of S2l ,878,093.32.
This record of expansion and
growth is one which anv area
could boast of and it is one which
mas made Columbus County one
OF the great OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
counties Of the South.

In recent years the building was
almost full to capacity during the
busy tobacco and produce selling
seasons, and it was not strange to
see long lines of people waiting
to get their checks cashed.
In 1858 construction of a new
modern bank building was begun
on Railroad Street. Everyone Gag
erly awaited the day that the move
would be made and better facili-
ties could be offered.
Finally, on Saturday, August %.
1853 the Waccamaw Bank opened
Its doors in its new location for
business. The new and imposing
building and the modern efficient
facilities gave great pride to the
bank staff and to its customers.
1t has been lauded by many as the
finest bank in this area.
New modern facilities include a
driVe-in window, burglar proof
vault door. time vault and the
teller's safe on wheels" some
OF which had never been used in
Tabor City before the new bank
opened its doors.
II has 10 car parking lot in
the rear of the building for the
convenience of its patrons. 1t also
mas ample floor space of 34x72
square IT. and has five teller WIN
dows to take care of the crowded

and the sale of cross-ties and the
use of the barter system gradually
began to die out as farmers be-
came more prosperous and money
more plentiful.
After being cramped for space
for number of years the company
was able to secure an additional
store in 1858 and this is now also
being used for storage.
The Company is noted for its
long and continued association
with such firms as Interstate Mill
ing Company. 1t has handled thiS
company's products for over IS
years and there are several other
firms which can boast OF this same
record with the j. NJ. Soles Com
pany.
The volume of business of the
company has increased every year
since its beginning and its record
Of success is not expected to
change this present year.
1t is store noted for its friend
ly atmosphere and a place where

1t is business which has grown

Wright's Gas And Furniture Co.
Has Rapid Growth And Expansion

One Of the fastest growing eStab-
1fshments in Tabor City today is
Willard Wright's Gas Appliance
and Furniture Company. This bus
mess has grown at very rapid
rate from year to year but even
now is practically bursting at the
seams.
In 1916 Mr.. Wright, who is a
native of Tabor City but resided
in Wilmington during the wa-
years where he was working with
the N. c. Shipbuilding Company.

began making plans for entering
a business of his own.
In August of tat year - built

planned to open a refrigeration

small building by a few feet and

Expansion OF Tobacco Industry
In Columbus County Is Phenomenal

Since the cultivation of tobacco
began in Columbus County in 1895
it has steadily grown in popularity
and has taken over the dominant
position that cotton once had in
this area.
Six acres of tobacco were first
planted in the extreme western
section of the county near Fair
Bluff in 1895 and the cultivation
OF the golden leaf has grown until
today in Columbus County there
are approximately "a. 900 acres be-
ing planted annually.
The outstanding success Of to-
bacco was due to improved meth
DDS of cultivation, education in
control OF tobacco diseases, better
varieties o! tobacco planted and
the high style of advertising done
by the tobacco markets. resulting
in a big increase in business vol
ume done by business men in Co.
