C, Thursday, March 24, 1927 $2.00 A YEAR yO U R IB * m Cohn Results in i - m [ADVANCE NUMBER II Hunter Manufacturing And Commission Company Will Move Offices To Ramseur Leaves Greensboro To Make Savings In Taxes—Is A $5, 000,000 Corporation. Does $100,000,000 Business Annually Randolph Men Are Interested In The Corporation. The Hunter Manufacturing and Commission Company, the largest cotton selling corporation in the world, will early in April move its offices from Greensboro to Ramseur in Ran dolph county. The announcement of this move was made Tuesday by J. C. Watkins, treasurer, who had returned from a meeting of the directors of the corporation held in New York City last Friday. The corporation handles the output of about 75 mills, most of which are located in the Caro lines, Georgia, Alabama and Texas. Pomona Mills, at Greensboro, and Durham Hosiery Mills, at Durham, are among the patrons of the com pany. The Deep River Mills, at Ran dleman, are owned by the corpora tion, and the Columbia Manufacturing Company at Ramseur is another of its patrons. The Hunter Commission Company was organized by the late J. Speight Hunter and others. The late W. H. Watkins, of Ramseur, father of Mr. J. C. Watkins, was one of the first mill owners in the South t6 join the organization, furnishing the output of his mill to the corporation for selling purposes. The mill at Kimesville was also among the first. From its small beginnings the company has grown until its capital stock is $5,000,000, and its business last year reached $100,000,000. It has branch offices which occupy a six-story building in New York City and selling offices in 12 other cities in various parts of the United States. It has agents in 15 different foreign countries. Various forces were at work to get the change of location from Greens boro to Ramseur. Mr. E. C. Watkins, chairman of the Randolph county board of commissioners, and a brother of Mr. J. C. Watkins, secretary of the Hunter Manufacturing and Commis sion Company, and other professional and business men of the county had interested themselves in the matter. J. C. Watkins, secretary of the cor poration, formerly of Ramseur, was anxious to locate the main offiee pany’s main office in his native coun ty, while Guy O. Hunter, son of the founder, was interested in locating in ■PnnHnlph, having in mind the assis tance afforded his father by Ramseur interests in the early days of the Hpnter Manufacturing and Commis sion Company’s existence. When the rumor came out that The Hunter corporation would move from Greensboro several towns and cities became interested in attracting the business. Forsyth county, it is under stood, offered special inducements. Tax rate was not high in Forsyth and other conditions were agreeable. But perhaps the main factor in bringing the Hunter Manufacturing and Commission Company to Ramseur was that expressed by Mr. Watkins to a Greensboro News correspondent and published in that newspaper yes terday morning, as follows: "Mr. Watkins was frank in.saying that his company decided to move to Randolph county because the location of the office was voted recently into the Greater Greensboro school dis trict while others—the Cone mills— were left in the county proper. If the company were to remain in the spec ial district it would be forced to pay $70,000 taxes each year, whereas in Ramseur it will pay Randolph only $50,000, a saving of $20,000 per annum.” Judge Schenck To Speak In Trinity Sunday Judge Michael Schepck, siding over the term of court in sion in Asheboro this week and whi will continue two additional weeks, will make an address on "Law and Order” in the Methodist church, at Trinity, Sunday night, April 3.

Asheboro stores, regardless of merchandise handled, have been stocked with the latest of the season’s goods. Styles and prices are right. And during these four days, substantial reductions are being offered from the regular prices. The Asheboro stores are feeling the call of spring just as are the people of the county—and also as nature itself. Thousands of Randolph dol lars will be spent during the spring season for merchandise of every de scription. Asheboro merchants will that it be spent in the county. For every dollar spent at home means that many more dollars kept to help turn the wheels of industry and pros perity in the old home town and county. Asheboro is a logical trading cen ter for a wide territory. Good roads lead into Asheboro from every part of the county. No trouble is exper ienced by the public in getting to t Asheboro, center of North Carolina ( and center of Randolph county. It costs less to make a trip to Asheboro than to towns and cities outside of Randolph, and it costs less after the Former Asheboro Boy Is In Trouble Caught Stealing Cigarettes By Greensboro Copi And Is In Jail In Guilford. Had 30,000 Cigarettes Taft Freeman, son of Henderson Freeman formerly of Asheboro but for the past several years a resident of Greensboro, is in jail at Greens boro unable to give bond. Freeman is charged with theft. In fact, he was caught in the act Tuesday night by Policeman Jarvis when he attempted to take 30,000 cigarettes from the Thomas and Howard Wholesale Gro cery, in Greensboro. Young Freeman had entered the building by means of a skylight which hb -deftly removed and haik low ered the cigarettes by means of a rope to the alley in rear of the build ing. Policeman Jarvis noticed the cache of cigarettes while making his rounds and concealed himself nearby. When the former Asheboro boy came in a hired car for his loot, he was ar rested and lodged in jail. He had no accomplices. Police officers say the theft was a neat piece of work, and had Freeman been able to make a getaway there would have been no clues to follow in an effort to ascer tain the thief. The turpentine industry of North Carolina shows prospects of coming back if fire is kept from the second growth long leaf pine now making good growth in certain parts of the State. , Improvements Made On Baptist Church Trinity Baptists Have Church Painted And Install New Piano—Personals. Trinity, March 21.—Mrs. John Younts, who was taken to a hospital in Greensboro recently, is getting along very, well—expects to be home soon. Mrs. Herbert Ballance, of Greens boro, spent the day here Saturday, the guest of her aunts, Mesdames Bal lance and Carpenter, on North Main. Mrs. Harris, of Rutherford, the mother of our pastor, who was quite ill for a while, is better now. Mr. and Mrs. Paul, who have been visiting their daughter, Mrs. Ash ford Parkin, will return to their home in Caribou, Maine, in April. Their daughter, Mrs. Parkin, will ac company them home. Mrs. Snider, mother of Mrs. Lee Royals, is spending some time with her at her residence on North Main. The Baptist congregation has in stalled a very nice piano in their church—Miss Lilly Copple is the pianist. The church has been given a new coat of paint, which adds very much to its appearance.

Salar ies are not as high in a small town as in a large town, for it costs less to live in a small town. Therefore, Asheboro merchant^,, start out with less overhead than their brother mer chants in larger towns and cities. This saving in overhead is a savings that is passed on down to the ulti mate consumer, wbp always foots the bills. Asheboro merchants buy as cheaply as their fellow merchants elsewhere. They do not have any more freight to pay. They are able to take their discounts just as are the merchants in the larger towns and cities. There fore, Asheboro merchants are in a position to save their customers many dollars in the purchase of merchan dise. Another advantage in dealing with the local merchant is that you are trading with a neighbor and a friend. The local merchant helps support your local government, churches and schools. He is always one of those asked for donations for many purpos es and he is ever one who responds. A business transaction with a local merchant is not altogether a cold blooded business matter. You know the merchant and he knows you. Business with your local merchant is a friendly matter. Come to Asheboro during “Dollar Days.” You will be well repaid for your trip—and you will come again.
