II V. McCord.
Wallace P. Peed, of the Atlan

“A fen* days ago I passed the
invnicmte wholesale grocery house
of 11 V McCord, and it impressed
me as much an 1 lie hi" structure
the At hotn Milling Co.
I/aig al ter the building was out

of McCord and his remarkable cn
reel*. Many years ago I knew him
when lie was a clerk in a small
country town Later 1m was a

; merchants.
Young McCord had exceptional
business ability, and he had the
' confidence of all who knew him.
i To my surprise, one day, 1 found
him at the head of a wholesale
j grocery house in Atlanta.
Then I began to watch him.
This young man from the country
en g a g e d th e host clerks and drum
mers, and secured a wonderfully
class of customers.
lie took his place in city

‘‘I won’t go cut! I won’t leave here

Such was the amassing tlcclarniion of
a pauper attendant In an east end Lon¬
don Workhouse on being told by nil
agent that he was entitled to some
money. And the man—the son of t

that he said. Not Jin inch would he
budge, nor would he sign any paper,
and it was only by taking a comruis
stouer down to him that the fund
could be recovered.
Whether because it was only a com¬ i
paratively sum!! stun or whether be¬
cause he was a worker, the guardians
tnade no claim on It. Accordingly, at
his request, it was split, and two ac¬
counts were opened on his behalf In
