lhe above is a compliment for
the man at its head. Only 11
years ago Mr. Mullens was a
small farmer and one year later
he opened a very small business
in McCrory. In 1907 he sold out
and went on the road on a com
mission basis for M. E. Carter
& Co. of Memphis. In the short
time of six months this firm
placed Mr. Mullens on a salary
and after six years with them
he resigned to open a branch
wholesale establishment in this
city for Mayo & Robinson of
Wynne. He has built a large
business for this firm and the
profits for both he and his house
have been large, but Jim has
never made a mistake yet and
thinks he sees something better
in the new place which he accept
ed the next day after he resign
ed with Mayo & Robinson. We
predict with the line-up of busi
ness men he has associated to
gether in one strong company,
that the Mullens Wholesale Gro
eery will be one big success!
from the very word “go” and
that the stock will pay handsome
dividends each year. In fact,
this house will control about 75
per cent of the business in this !
territory and with J. W. Mullens
in charge it will be a hard com
petitor with which to deal. The
merchants like Jim and they will
stay with him.
Messrs Geo. and John Smith
and R. H. Mauldin, three leading
citizens of Hillemann, were in
McCrory Wednesday.
