Did you ever sit down to write
about any person, place or thing
and find yourself more at a loss
to know what not to say, than
what to say? If so, you can ap
preciate the feelings of the
writer as he approaches the
above subject. Not that it is
not a most worthy subject about
which much good can be said,
but because the writer greatly
feels his inability to do it jus
tice; and failing to do so, would
be a great injustice to both it and
the community of which, it con
stitutes a material part.
It is easy to go into a mill,
stores, shop or any manfacturing
plant and tell all about it, be
cause you can see it all. It is
easy to go where one has farmed
well or improved his buildings, or
fitted up a nice office and write
a glowing description of it, be
cause ydu have seen it as well as
heard of it. It is also easy to
write a sketch of a life-long
friend, because you have seen
and studied him and perhaps
have learned to love him. But
when it comes to writing about a
building company whose works
are scattered almost throughout
the land it is not so easy, be
cause one must be governed by
facts alone; he is forced Jo write
by faith and not by sight.
The Elliott Building Company
is an ideal Hickory corporation,
an institution inheriting in toto
the spirit and impulses that have
made this city noted far and
wide for its push, its progress,
its plenty and especially for its
pleasantness. And the love and
esteem which the company en
joys of the entire city, and the
utmost confidence the country
generally has in its ability, its
integrity and its fair dealings,
is due not so much on account of
what it has done, as to the clev
er, big-hearted and whole-souled
gentlemen who compose and
manage it.
The Elliott Building Company
was organized in October, 1908.
The men composing this new
company were contractors and
builders, men with years of ex
perience, known afar, and
"workmen that needeth not to be
ashamed." Its officers are: J.
D. Elliott, Pres. and Treas.; J.
W. Elliott, Vice Pres.; L. M. El
liott, Secretary; W. F. Elliott,
General Superintendent of Con
struction Work. While this com
pany has its headquarters here,
yet we see very little of the im
mense amount of building they
have done and are now doing.
Yet, we all share in the benefits
of the same, and feel proud of
such an organization.
Since its organization, thecom
- pany has been constantly busy,
? working on an average the year j
5 round 110 less that 100 men. Their j
1 first contract was the girls dor
mitory for Winthrop College,'
" \ Rock Hill, S. C., an $80,000.00
| contract. They have contracted
; and built several large warehous
*!es for the Seaboard Railway
! Company. They built the large
;; High School building for the city
of Union, S. C. In fact, this com
| pany has"contracted for and built
jj depots 'vnrrhouses and other
J lar- •L- . 3 nil the way from
Leesburg, and Jacksonville, Fla.,
to Alexandria. Va.
• The company now has an SBO,-
' j 000.00 contract in course of con
]]struction at Savannah, Ga., for
[ i the Seaboard. They are now
| i building a $10,000.00 depot at Le
jvonia and McDonough, Ga.
5 j They are just finishing a hand
; (some passenger station at Great
i I Falls, S. C., and one at Ridge
> crest, Buncombe county. They
: are also finishing a small pas
\ senger depot in this, their home
| city, which, will be the best con
: structed brick building in the
\ city of Hickory. We could men
-3 tion more of their wot k but this
will suffice.
Now, in conclusion, will say
that whatever is wronft in this
" article the company is not re
sponsible. For neither of the
gentlemen composing it know
1 what the writer has said. The
J writer knows that he has not
i overestimated the worth of this
company, to our city. It not on
ly furnishes work for many of
| k)ur laborers, paying them good
1 wages, but whatever the compa
| ny makes, the same is brought
' here and invested in permanent
[ improvements and in avenues of
; trade, business and the encour
• agement of every and all kinds
of manufacturing enterprises.
j The Elliotts can always be
. found in the foremost ranks of
the city's growth and progress.
And to them, the churches,
schools and all charitable in
stitutions are due lasting grati
| tude.
May this company live long and
prosper is not only the hope and
„ need of the city, but even of the
world. V
Joy In Being Close to the Earth.
