A business woman, yes. But…


[Article 1]


Mrs. Joe Person is at the Buford for a few days. Mrs. Person’s son - Mr. Will Person – is captain of the Agricultural & Mechanical College football team. “I would not go to see him play, though,” said Mrs. Persons. “I knew if he should get hurt, I would break up the game, so I stayed away.”


a strong maternal instinct, too!


[Article 2]


Mrs. Joe Person has been confined to her room in the Belmont for a couple of days. She is suffering with a deep cold. Mrs. Person is the busiest woman in North Carolina and is continually on the go. She alone sold over 1,200 bottles of her Remedy last month in North Carolina.


even her “deep colds” were newsworthy!


[Article 3]


Mrs. Joe Person and the Queen.


Mrs. Joe Person, of Kittrells, N. C., whose wonderful remedies have become famous throughout the length and breath [breadth] of the Union, is in the city. She is a remarkably accomplished and excellent lady, and is exceedingly popular wherever known. North Carolina tourists returned from Europe say that the Queen of England is almost a perfect image of Mrs. Person, the only apparent difference between the two ladies being the greater fleshiness of Victoria Regina.


on a calorie count she “conquers” the Queen!


[Article 4]


Mrs. Person to Write a Book.


Mrs. Joe Person is in the city on the way to her home at Kittrell’s. During the winter she will be engaged there in writing a book, which will be in the nature of the origin, rise and development of her Remedy, and will be interspersed with incidents of travel. The book, Mrs. Person says, will be in no way and advertisement. It will be called “The Chivalry of Man, as Exemplified in the Life of Mrs. Person in Pushing Her Remedy.”


now you know the story –- as best I can estimate, written sometime after 1892.
