SHOE FACTOR U.S. 



'This important industry has been pushed to such an extent 

 Nashville the fourth shoe market in the United Si 



The J. G. Hynds Shoe Mfg. Co., which was established here less than 

 three years ago, built for themselves a magnificent factory buildh 

 granite and brick, 50x250 long and three stories high, thoroughly eq 

 with the most modern machinery, giving them a capacitj for tw< 

 fifteen hundred pairs per day. 



This company is officered and manned bj a strong conservative and 

 efficient set of men that have made one of the best institutions in the 

 South today. In this short time they have been compelled by reason of 

 increased trade to begin this fall to run their full capacity, and it will he 

 but a short time until the Hynds "Big 4" line is known throughout the 

 entire South. 



Richardson Bros. Shoe Co., has for years been one of the strong 

 tors in Nashville's success in this industry. Lately this company have built 

 and equipped one of the most modern shoe factories in the .state Their 

 great success in the past but fortells their future, and we can hut believe 

 that in a very short time Nashville will be made to rank third shoe 

 market in the United States. 



CONFEDERATE VETERAN. 



The publisher desired to give space to the Confederacy, hut the absence 

 of Mr. S. A. Cunningham from the city prevented. We cannot pass this 

 point without some mention of that great official organ of the numerous 

 orders and societies of the Confederacy, the Confederate I 'eteran. 

 What better mention can be made than to note the action <>t" the ( <<n- 

 fedcratc Veteran, recently. We quote from an address before that body 

 the same being subscribed to by the subscribed officers: 



We have been elected to offices of high distinction and recognize the 

 obligations created by these honors because they were conferred by our 

 comrades of the United Confederate Veterans. In this spirit we addn -> 

 vou, on our own motion, this letter on a special subject because we know 

 that the desire is common among us that the knowledge <>f the pril 

 and facts of the Confederate epoch should be more widely diffused We 

 feel that this information should be conveyed to the people of the present 

 age through the press and other agencies in such spirit, manner, and mode 

 of publication as will do justice to our Confederate people, secure the fame 

 of which our dear Southland is well worthy, abate all ungenerou 

 troversial spirit, and promote a more perfect understanding and cor 

 union of all parts and people of our Country. 



In considering maturely this very important matter we are gratified 

 by the fact that the United Confederate Veterans Associati »n, I onfed- 

 erated Southern Memorial Association, the United Daughters of th 

 federacy, and the United Sons of Confederate Veterans have an 

 organ, commended over and over again by unanimous resolutions at 1
