Messrs. H. E. Hendrix Sc Son.
Mr. H. E. Hendrix has associated
with him in the grocery and provision
business, his son, Mr. C. B. Hendrix.
We like to see young men following
in the footsteps of their fathers, when
a good example o f thrift and industry
has been set them. With such exam
ples before them, they should easily
continue and improve an establish
ed business, in which they have
been trained from their youth up.
Just here let us remark that Agricul
ture in this country is a business up
on which all other business is largely
dependent, and as it is commendable
for young men to follow in the road
opened by their fathers, we would
say to young farmers, stick to the
old homestead—improve and beauti
fy it, for after all there is no nobler,
happier, easier or more independent
life than tilling the soil. But to re
turn, we congratulate our young
friend Mr. C. B. Hendrix upon his
promotion, and believe that his youth,
energy and capacity will give new
life to the old business. He has a
fine business education, attractive
manners, energy and push, and the
old man will find in him a secure prop
for the old house. Go right ahead
Charlie, and don’t forget that Judi
cious advertising is one of the helps
to keep up a live business.
