ELMORE D. HEINS

Elimore D. Heins, President of the Heins Cigar
Company, is one of the progressive young business men
of Roanoke. He located in this city about six years
ago. He was born in
Cincinnati, Ohio,
December 8th, 1885,
and as a boy attended
the Cincinnati Public
Schools and High
School.

He has, at all times,
manifested a keen
interest in athletics and
when he first located in
Roanoke it was as a
player and member of
the Roanoke Baseball
Club. Later he was
elected Secretary and
Treasurer of the Club
when he gave up work
on the diamond. Last
year he was elected President
of the Roanoke Baseball Club, which position
he still holds.

Beside the business of conducting the most modern
and up-to-date cigar store and soft drink fountain
in the city, Mr. Heins is Secretary and Treasurer of
the Lemon-Kola Sales Agency Company, Incorporated,
which was recently organized for the purpose of placing
Lemon-Kola Syrup on the market throughout
the South and East.

For a period of two or three years after coming to
Roanoke, Mr. Heins was identified with the Roanoke
Times and the Evening News as Sporting Editor of
these two papers.

Since opening the establishment known as the Heins
Cigar Store, about one year ago, with Mr. Heins as
President and General Manager, this commercial
establishment has prospered. The business is located
at the corner of Campbell Avenue and Jefferson Street.
