The original water company was
organized in 1886 by CoL T. B. Keogh
and others, and was known las the
Greensboro Water ' Company, j Work
was completed in 1887, and originally
was confined to the-old corporate" lim
its of the city. The plant at that time
consisted of a. small water pump run
by a turbine wheel, and a medium
sized Blake steam pump. The origi-
nal cost was $50,000 In 1892 the com
j pany was placed in the hands of a re
i ceiver, and was afterwards re-orrrnTi-
ized, and since then the street mains

PROGRESS.
No better evidence of the progress
and advancement of Greensboro can
be found than in the history of the
Cape Fear Manufacturing Company.
The company wasorganized in 1896
and in the short period of three years
has built up a business of large pro
portions that covers this State and
extends to others.
" The leading feature of the business
is the manufacture of building ma
terial, a specialty being made of
hardwood for interior decoration. The
plant of. the company on Lewis street
is equipped with the most modern
machinery known to the trade, and
while at the beginning the plant was
a large one the additions that the de
mands of the business have required,
which have been made, have enlarged !
its capacity until it is the largest
plant of the kind in this section.
This company has furnished the
building material for many, of the
finest buildings erected in the State
during the past three years. The
handsome houses that . adorn that
beautiful boulevard, Summit Avenue,
and the dwellings at Proximity were
erected -with material furnished by
this company.

Here is an illustration that will
doubtless appear familiar to the
thousands of readers of this edition.
It is John B. Fariss's drug store,
where the public has been served for
many years, first by W. C. Porter and
later by Richardson & Fariss, and
since February last by John B. Fariss,
who became the sole owner. Mr.
Fariss is a native of Greensboro, born
in 1869, and received his early educa
tion here. He first entered the drug
business under the tutelage of Mr.
'
Porter, and in 1892 he and
Mr. Rich
ardson bought out the business.
Mr.
Fariss is to-day the proprietor and
has learned to serve the trade in a
manner that has won confidence and
patronage. A large and complete
stock of drugs, chemicals and sundries
is - always carried, and physicians
throughout the country find here a
stock of supplies to meet their every
demand. J i : j .
In common with the other sundries
Mr. Fariss carries a fine line of cigars.
among then El Modella and Principe
de Gales. The line of fine smoking
tobaccos carried is unsurpassed by
any in the city.
Mr. Fariss is the inventor of thirty
special preparations which are care
fully compounded to meet all manner
of ills. A large business is done in the
manufacture and jobbing of physi
cians supplies, and no concern in the -country
is better equipped to supply
the many drugs and chemicals requir
ed by the physician. : -7
