VOLUME 3
ORANGE, TEXAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. AUGUST 26. 1904
THE DAWN OF
PROSPERITY
Orange Merchants Unite in Stating That
Times Are Good Here.
BETTER THAN FQR MONTHS
Is tbe Universal Verdict of All With Whom The Tribune
Man Talked on The Subject. Times
Are Good and Getting Better.
For tome month* past the Orange contingent of the anvil chorus asso-
ciation of amalgamated knocker* have done nothing but cry "hard time*”
and on every available opportunity they have produced their little ham-
mer* and knocked every move which tended toward the good of the town,
partioularty If the move Involved the expenditure of a few dollar*.
The present management of the Dally Tribune assumed charge of this
paper on July 1 and our many "friends” at once began to sympathize with
us on the self-evident fact that the paper, the management and every one
connected therewith would go “straight up.” We believed In Orange, and
our belief was expressed in the editorial columns of the Tribune and has
been Justified by result*. We are satisfied With Orange and know a whole
lot more people who are In the same fix.
A representative of the Tribune yesterday called upon several of the
merchants of Orange and asked them for short Interview* as to whether
or not they believed Oranp* was more prosperous now than two month*
sine*. *
The following interviews show the feeling of the mercantile element of
Orangp. More will be interviewed this evening and their talk* published
In tomorrow's Tribune:
Jams* P. Poach, Cashier
Orange National Bank.
I hove talked with a number of my
customers, merchant* in every line,
and without exception they report In-
creased business, particularly during
the post ten days.
The rice farmers are much elated
over the fine prospects, both as to
yield and prices. The mills have been
RELIABLE OPTICIANS.
A WORD TO WISE-
TAKE CARR OF YOCR EYKS;
YOU DO RADICALLY WRONG
IF YOU DO OTHERWISE.
More than sixteen years’
perience in treating and exam-
ining the Eyes enables us to
give you the best service possi-
ble. No charge for consulta-
tion or examinations.

I running under full pressure and em-
ploying the usual force.
Now that the "knockers" have quit
crying hard times, the wage earners
have Ik gun to spend their money
again. Judging by the number of
cars of lumber shipped out of here
daily there must be a steady increas-
ing demand for that commodity. This
assures to the saw mill laborer steady
time and certain wages, which natu-
rally react* beneficially to the mer
chants.”
H. B. Curry, Manager
Orange Furniture Company.
Our business has increased very ma-
terially during the past two weeksyq
terlally. Particularly during the past
two weeks our sales have exceeded
any similar period for the past six
■Maths. < •
We look forward to a particularly
prosperous fall and winter businesi.
Everything point* that way now.
Q. W. Ball, Grocer.
I find a marked Improvement in
business during the past thirty days.
My business has Increased materially
and I believe every other merchant
can honestly make the same state-
ment. All our rice^farmers seem as-
sured of a good crop and fair prices
and are consequently spending money
more freely than usual at this season
of the year. The saw mill met are
getting In straight time now and are
assured of a loag winter's profitable
employment, and they, too, are turn-
ing their money loose for both neces-
sities and luxuries. This should, and
believe does make business good In
all lines.
R. B .Gere* Druggist.
While the general health of the com-
munity seems better than usual at this
on, I find business has Increased
very materially with us. I note from
my sale# slips, however, that the
greater business ir in such lines as
perfumery, fancy soaps, tolkt accesso-
ries and things usually considered
luxuries. This conclusively proves
that money Is easier than thirty or
Bixty days ago.
C. G. Borne, Hal lor.
Puslness Is good and picking up
fiu-7 day. I find buskin* in my line
“pressing” In more w.iy* than one.
When high priced tailor made gar-
ments find a ready sale among tbe
average citizens it argues very con-
clusively that prosperity Is here or
close enough to be heard a-comin’.
B. F. Brown, Manager
Sabine Supply Company.
Our sales for the year ending Au-
gust 1, 1904, show a net gain over the
previous year of 12 per cent. Since
August 1, while builders’ hardware
ha* been * moving slowly, we have
landed several large orders in other
lines, which will bring the total for
this month far above that of last Au-
gust
Harvesting goods are moving much
more freely than during August. 1903.
showing the good results of increased
acreage and a very heavy crop at fair
prices. We cmislder the outlook for
fall business Fo be very good from
this source of trade.
On the whole we are satisfied with
Orange and its present and future
outlook.
W. T. Barrett, Manager
Hodges Dry Goods Company.
Our business bas increased every
day since January 1 of this year. We
believe the fall buying will be heavier
than any .year since we opened busi-
ness in Orange, and we are making
our preparations now to meet a tre-
mendous increase of trade, which we
feel sure will come to us, and not
alone to us, hut to every merchant of
Orange.
We believe In Orange and, person-
ally, I am frank to admit that I con-
sider Orange the best town in the
Southwest, considering sixe. Of our
seven stores in Texas our Orange
store will show up probably the best
results this year, size of the various
towns considered.
