The Southern Holler, Stave Sfid neaflinj; Company is a con cern that stepped right in to an onfhrtunitv at Elizabeth City, a city in which so many opportunities of numerous kinds are running around loose, be cause of this condition. The business has been established twelve years, and during that time has turned many thous ands of dollars into the coffers of Elizabeth ity merchants and banks that would have igone elsewhere if diversified tion had not been s, prominent here. Originally a partner ship of J. Boyd Anderson and A. B. Houtz operated it. Four ."years ago Houtz bought out Anderson and controls and manages the plant. The specialty of Mr. Houtz is slack cooperage stock. Gum rollers for moving machinery, etc,, are made in great numbers, almost exclusively from gum wood; this however, is only a side line. He owns his own timber, railway, barge equip ment, etc. and brings the raw material from the Alber niarle Sound section. He employs sixty or more people in the plant and more in the woods. Many mine props are bought here and sold to the owners of the Pennsylvania. West Virginia and other coal mines. Pine anjil hardwood logs are shipped to many points by Mr. Houtz. The Southern mill has a car pacity of o.IMM) heads daily, enough for three thousand bar rels. There is ready market for them; in fact, a demand is almost constantly up t.i the out put. It is in this product that the business has one of its staunches! assurances of future progress, for the demand for barrel heads is glowing just as is the nianiifant lire of barrels and the increase in the stud's for which the barrels arc made is waxing greater each vcar. The output of this mill is principally for flour and sugar barrels. They and the other goods are dipped to ih Northern mar kets and soli direct. The location of the big industry is on the Norfolk Southern Rail road. Two miles of narrow gauge road is operated for log ging purposes. Over three and a half acres of ground are covered by the plant, which coutains the most modern ma chinery. The Southern Roller, Stave and Heading Company's mana ger is a native of Pennsylvania but now most intensely inter ested in the progress of his adopted home.
