Randolph Lumber Company.
Although this concern is a new one
it is by reason of the manifest superiority
of the goods handled and the exceedingly
low prices at which they are
sold that their trade is rapidly increasing
in every direction. The Randolph
Lumber Corporation is backed
by Richmond capital where the head-quarters
are located. The officers are
all men of fine business qualifications
and are as follows: W. L. Smith, president,
W. S. P. Mayo, (Richmond)
vice president, H. T. Burnley, (Richmond)
secretary, and C. R. Randolph,
general manager. The plant is located
on the Chesapeake & Ohio railway
outside the city limits. The corporation
are wholesalers and jobbers in
building material of every description
in the way of, lumber, laths, shingles,
etc., and are manufacturers of insulator
pins and brackets. The
trade extends throughout the Northern
and Western States and is constantly
increasing. They are ever ready to
furnish estimates and bids on application,
and it will prove profitable to
obtain their figures before going elsewhere.
The business in all respects is
admirably conducted and is exercising
a special bearing on the promotion of
the city building interests. President
Smith is the district manager of the New
York Life Insurance Company and is
a member of its One Hundred Thousand
Dollar Club, to which only agents
or managers who do that amount of
business annually are eligible. Mr.
Randolph is well known in the commercial
life of this section. For many
years he was engaged in real estate
and insurance operations, and at one
time was president of the Charlottesville
Brick Company.
