Greensboro, Nov. 22. Up to a
f( w weeks ago I had never be?n
to Danbury, the county seat of
Stokes. My rambles had taken
ne to almost every famous place
from Manteo to Turtletown, and
I longed to visit the home of J.
S i )t Taylor and the Danbury
II-porter. Last Friday accom
l nied by one John, a grinning
colored driver, I journed to the
c iy by the river Dan, and found
a ;nost hospitable village. As
Mr. Taylor was out of the city I

Dick Reynolds is a great cap

people ask that question. R. J.
Reynolds is a giant among giants.
He towers among the big men of

That day as we tugged over the
hills of Stokes, I could not bring
myself to the relization that
three decades before the chief of
chewing tobacco manufacturers
wended his way down that moun

For a moment I did not get
the import of the remark, but
finally it dawned on me that

first seen the light in Patrick.

myself.

tair.eer. North Caralina can
point to Vance, the statesman,
and Virginia and North Carolina
Reynolds, the master financier.
For a number of years I have
known Mr. Reynolds, not inti
mately, but pleasantly. He is
tall, angular and powerful of
frame, keen witted, and gentle
mannered, industrious. He does
not work bthe clock, but the
task. Application and method
have resulted in the splendid or
ganization that has brought him
fame and gold.
R. J. has always delighted in
honest, arduous toil. The min
utest detail concerns him, and no
work is considered drudgery and
those employed by him are
taught to feel as he does. His
most successful and most faith
ful men are taken into the com
pany and thereby encouraged to '
do their best.
"What would you consider the
gre- xit elements in his make-up,

success?" asked one friend of
