H. K. Hawthorne & Co.
Almost every fortune of any great
magnitude had its foundation laid in
speculation and thousands have become
wealthy in short order by some
wise investment in stocks, bonds, etc.
In Charlottesville there is quite a coterie
of speculators, and the popular exchange

of Mr. H. K. Hawthorne
affords them the best facilities. Mr.
Hawthorne's offices are located in suite
No. 11-12 old Post Office building and
are handsomely fitted. A corps of expert
operators and board markers are
employed and large comfortable rocking
chairs are provided for the accommodation
of guests and patrons. The
enterprise represents the Eunis &
Stoppani Company, of New York city,
and V. P. Randolph, & Co., Philadelphia,
both members of the New
York Stock Exchange, and are
conceded to be among the leaders
in the East. Private wires run direct
from Mr. Hawthorne's place to the
offices of the mentioned companies
and every change is marked here a
second or so after it has been recorded
in New York. Mr. Hawthorne handles
stocks, bonds, grains and cotton on a
cash or margin basis and has a large
patronage. Mr. Hawthorne was born
in Alabama and was educated there.
Four years ago he came to this city
and entered the real estate line with
Mr. Randolph under the firm name of
Randolph & Hawthorne. He was
quite successful in this, but January 1,
1905, decided to change his vocation
and launched his present enterprise.
He is a young man of splendid business
ability and through his fair and
honest treatment of patrons has won a
high place in the opinion of the public.
He is quite prominent in Masonie
circles and is an Odd Fellow and
member of the Knights of Pythias.
Good news travels; not so rapidly
as bad news, of course, but it travels.
Do a good thing, and people will hear
of it in time.
