Meet A Mees, Inc., of Charlotte, N< C.
Curtis A. Mees, senior member of
the firm, graduated from Rose Polytechnic
Institute, Terre Haute, Indiana,
In 1900, and after several
yeas spent In the North for the
Pennsylvania Lines, West of Pittsburg
and the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad, his work
in the South commenced In September
1902, with the construction of
the Catawba Power Company's Plant
a tRock Hill, S. C. On this work he
was assistant Engineer in charge of
design, and on supervision of construction.
Except for an interval of
about a year in 1904 and 1905 which
was spent In the city of Columbus,
Ohio, as Resident Engineer and 011
Design of the Municipal Water Purification
and Sewage Disposal Plants,
h/, nnrinH 11 r? until MflV 191ft WAR
spent as Designing Engineer of the
Southern Power Company in Charlotte.
In Njay 1916 pie resigned from
the Southern Power Company to enenter
privat practice, first alone and
since June 1917 in partnership with
Erich A. Mees, nder the firm name
of Mees & Mees.
Erich Mees graduated as the .
honor student from Rose Polytechnic
Institute, Terre Haute, Indiana,
in 1911, coming to Charlotte, N. C.,
with the object in view of entering
private practice in the partnership
which was eventually formed. Having
done research work in the Slngual
Department - of the ChicagoRock
Island and Pacific Railway at
Chicago, and acted as a Designer
tor the Southern Ptower Company,
he joined the forces of Tucker ft
Laxtou, Inc., of Charlotte, Engineering
Contractors, and remained with
them until Jnue 1917, he date of the
partnership formation.
Since that date the firm has besome
known as specialists in power
development work, because
shance brought to them engineering
tvork of this kind without particular
effort, a' cirmustance rather to be
regretted because it was preferred
to cover more .widely the ^entire
field of hydraulic engineering, which
it this time is being done by concentration
on sanitary problems
rather tahn power problems.
uDring the period from May 1916
to date this firm has built several
icnr^ w-ifp rnnwor nlanta omhrnplnfl'
ill types of plants ana dams, each
structure being most carefully planned
to be the most economical for
the particular site, regardless of
the labor involved In having to con- 1
sider every possible design. S
This firm today occupies a suite
if offices in the Johnson Building,
rhe saff as of today consists of i
seventy-two employees, a great nnmier
of which are expert professional

AMERICA A SOUND INVESTMENT
*
Real Estate Insreases in Value
When one buys real estate In this
country, they are establishing the
foundation of a fortune.
It is contended Eighty-Three percent
of American fortunes have been
made from real property.
With a nation growing as rapidly
as this one, and enjoying the great
advantages we possess, time takes
care of the profit in a real estate
investment.
The following is Illustrative of
what had been done in the past and
will be done again in the future
in real estate.
Cost $5,000.. Now Worth Millions
A house at Thirty-ninth Street and
Fifth Avenue, New York city, posting,
$5,000, to build, now is worth
$3,000,000, by reason of the great increase
in real estate values in that
part of the city. But the property
cannot be bought at any price so
long as the three aged sisters, Ella, Georgia
and Rebecca Wendel, who
live in it, remain alive. Financiers,
real estate agents And promoters
have pleaded with them to sellout
the sisters can't be budged. They
live alone in seclusion, dress according
to old fashion, and seem to have
no relatives or friends.?Capper's
Weekly.
They tell us that Henry Ford has
something np his sleeve. Probably
a new motor car about that size.
It's hard for a candidate te determine
w hich is the paramount issue?the
klan of fear or the can of
^beer.
