better the season through. I set
some for several of my neighbors and

Local Buggy Factory
Enjoying Rapid Growth
The John Flanagan Buggy Company
Passing Its 48th Successful Year
HE PAST AND IKE
Every Veer They Large In
crease in Business and
are Made to Meet
Demands for their Products.
When the late Mr. John Flanagan
moved to Greenville years and
established a buggy factory and re
pair shop here, wise and good man
that was he perhaps never dreamed
that he was laying the foundation for
the Immense plant that today bears
his honored name and keeps his j
my fresh with those who knew him.
He began business in B Sinai way in
small frame building, he put the
stamp honesty on every piece of
work he turned out and thus paved
the way to a prosperous business ca
He detested sham in any form
never let a shoddy job go out of
his shop. When he took a man's
he gave in return for it a dollars
value in material and workmanship.
Patrons were not slow to learn this,
whenever the name John
Kan was seen on that vehicle
was recognized as one of merit.
Year by year the business grew,
from time to time more
to be added to meet the demands
upon the plant which had won a rep-
even into neighboring states.
The plant grew until it covered a
large part of the lot on street
Hotel Macon.
After many years of successful
its founder passed away and
son, Mr. E. G. Flanagan, succeeded
him at the head of the enterprise. Ha
organized a company for carrying on
the business on a still larger scale,
and it grew to such a degree that they
found It impossible to meet the de-
for their products without fur-
enlargement. This being true the
company began negotiations for the
purchase of adjoining property, bin
not being able to secure it, the lot on
the corner of Fourth and
street was purchased and a large three
story brick building was placed
on in 1907, X feet. At th
completion of the building new and ad
machinery was installed
to enable them to increase the
number of vehicles per day to meet
the enormous demand that had grown
by that time.
This of course called fur the employ.
men Of more workmen, and as the
business continued to grow at the
rapid rate it was then experiencing,
additional mechanics were added.
This growth soon materialized in more
being needed, so with the open
of the fall of 1913 plans were
drawn up and the contract let for an-
other building adjoining, and
as large as the old one. The new ad.
was completed about the Oral
Of tins year and Immediately occupied
with enlarged and new
for the manufacture of buggies and
carriages and the other departments of
their business.
Today the Flanagan buggies arc
known and used not only in ever;
nook and corner in Pitt county, but
in a majority of the counties in
Carolina, and in nearly every slate
below the Mason and Dixon line.
With the increased popularity of
the John Flanagan Buggy Company
their vehicles, Greenville gets
share of the advertisement,
the company is known
Greenville is known as their home.
Among the many improvements
made at the completion of the new ad
was a water sprinkler system
cost of about which gives them
much lower insurance rate. The
system is arranged on the ceiling of
the different departments, and should
fire occur in any part of the building
when it reaches to a certain heat it
causes the caps that are stationed on
the pipes a few feet apart to blow oil
allowing a large stream of water,
Octant to extinguish any blaze
may occur. An electric elevator is also
used in carrying stock to the different
doors.
Another acquisition made since the
completion of the new part of the
factory was the installation an inn

Bays the Journal of the American Med-

speak of man of they are
really, however unwittingly, employ-
the language of the of
Galen, a noted Roman physician,
born A. D. That the term la
used Is testimony that the old doc-
of spirits is not obsolete. Galen
perhaps had a conception of nerve
trunks as conductors of something
he called it and from the
brain and spinal cord. The natural
spirits were that property which gave
to blood the capacity of nourishing
the tissues of the body. The vital
spirits were acquired in the heart;
and when last the blood with Its
vital spirits went to the brain and
experienced a sort of refinement for
the last time, the animal spirits were
separated from It and carried to the
body by the nerve trunks. The animal
spirits of Oaten have the

not electricity, but they produce It,
