One of the most enterprising, sub stantial and valuable citizen of Oxford is W. C. Reed. He has been emi nentlv successful in his business and merits the fullest measure of success He believes in Oxford and is putting in as good work as anyone to promote the growth of our city. This apro 1 pos of the following from the South- tobacco Journal: Among the many clever leaf dealers of North Carolina W. C. Reed, we are glad to say, is. reaping well deserved success. Since locating in Oxford his order business has grown steadily and todav Mr. Reed enjoys a most healthv patronage from some of the largest firms in the country. The se cret of it all is that he thoroughly un derstands the leaf tobacco business, a,d keeps a close watch onr the market all the time. Mr. Reed has been in the rnann fArtnrinff business himself and knows what the manufacturer needs and wants., And then during the past years he rias been a close stu dent of the bright types of North Car olina leaf and knows what leaf is worth when he ses it. It is gratifying to know thaf' Mr. Reed is succeeding far beyond his expectations in Oxford. Since going there he has become one of the hustling movers in that town's new life, and. is today one of Oxford's most progressive citizens. PURELY PERSONAL. The Doings and Whereabouts of Some .
