A. F. Hartsell
Has Gone Ahead Fast
Head of the largest wholesale grocery
firm in Concord, the career of A. F.
Hartsell, owner and active manager of
A: F. Hartsell Company, is a striking
demonstration of what determination and
hard work will accomplish. Born and
brought up near . Mount Pleasant, Ca
barrus county, Mr. Hartsell had few op
portunities as a boy to go to school, and
early in life had to hustle for himself.

year, leaving to enter the employ of the
Cannon & Fetzer store where lie remain
ed for two years. His next field of ac
tivity was New York, where he worked'

for the American Tobacco Company for
four years. With. a training in retail
find wholesale trading methods Mr. Hart
sell returned to Concord and started in
business for himself in 1904 on the same
corner where lie is now found.
With a small capital, he made up for
lack of financial strength by an abund
ance of energy and a personality which
made friends for his business, and lias
made steady progress until today he lias
the largest stock and the largest turn
over of any wholesale grocery firm in
the city, doing a volume of business
which would probably surprise even
his close friends. He is an active Rotar
ian, in a club where all the members are
active: a member of the Merchants and
Manufacturers club: a K: P. and a Dok
kie since 1900. He is a trustee of the
Pythiafl home at Cleveland and one of
the most popular members of the Knights
of Pythias. He is'active in the Central
Methodist Church, being a steward, a
lay leader and chairman of several com
mittees. In 1912 and T 2 Concord honor
ed him by electing him Mayor. During
his'term of office the Concord White Way
was built and the first permanent street
paving done. He is married with two
children.
Concord citizens owe it to the persist
ence of Mr. Hartsell that they have long
distance telephone communication from
their home and office telephones by means
of operating arrangements \hetween the
local company and the Southern Roll Tel
ephone Company. For years the two
companies were at cross purposes with
the result that long distance communica
tion could only be obtained by going to
the booth which the tioutiicrn Bell main
tained for that purpose. After two years
of persuasion and negotiation Mr. Hart
sell brought the companies to seeing eye
to eye and as a result arrangements were
made which gave every lessee of a tele
phone in Concord, long distance service.
Mr. Hartsell was the prime mover in
the organization of the new hotel com
pany, which bought the St. Cloud Hotel
building. It is the intention of the com
pany to erect a modern hotel costing
$250X190 work to begin within a few
months, on the site of the present hotel.
