Mr. E.E. Eller last Monday sold the E.E. Eller produce company to Risser & Rabinowitz of Philadelphia, Pa. This includes Mr. Eller’s produce business on Tenth Street but not the buildings.
Mr. Eller has been in the produce business for the past 30 years, and for the past several years has been one of the largest poultry dealers in the South. Mr. Eller, who has been in Florida this winter, has been elected secretary and treasurer of the Ridgeland Development Company at Winter Haven, Fla., owners of the Country Club Estate of that place, and one of the largest real estate companies in Florida. He will make Winter Haven his home during the winters and North Wilkesboro, N.C., his home during the summer months.
We are sorry indeed that Mr. Eller saw fit to sell his produce business at this place, but we are glad he is not leaving us entirely. No finer man has ever lived in North Wilkesboro than E.E. Eller. He is a man that all classes of people like.
Risser and Rabinowitz, Inc., is one of the largest poultry dealers in the United States today. They expect to enlarge, and continue the business at the present stand of E.E. Eller Co. on Tenth Street, and want the corporation of all citizens in an effort to make this the equal market of New York for poultry. Mr. B.H. Colvard will be manager of the business at this point. They expect to pay New York market prices for poultry and hope to have the cooperation of our business men and farmers. These same people have recently opened places of business a Hamlet and Goldsboro, N.C. Mr. James Foote, formerly of this place, is manager of the business at Goldsboro.
Risser & Rabinowitz, Inc., is a $3 million concern, and means much to North Wilkesboro—enough said.
