W. E. Davis & F. C. Peters

One of our younger captains of industry, is manager of the Winnfield Iron Works 
& Supply Co., Ltd.  He was born and reared in the old town of Vienna, located 4 
miles from Ruston.

He enjoyed the excellent schools at Ruston for which it is now noted.  He also took 
a complete course in The Industrial and besides a partial course in mechanics.

He has forged his way to the front and his townsmen see fit to trust him in his 
present very honorable and responsible position.  He is fillilng it with dignity and 
acceptance and will no doubt be a factor in forging Winnfield to the front.   

As a most excellent support in the operations of this worthy institution is Mr. F. C. 
Peters, the master mechanic.  He received his training in the T. & P. shops at 
Texarkana and was made master mechanic for Grayson-McCloud Lumber Co., 
at Arkadelphis, Ark., which position he held for more than 4 years.  Then he took 
charge of the same line at Huttig, with the Union Saw Mill Co., wo that he comes 
to Winnfield with the finest equipment.  He has seen service in every line, 
 ________ to the most complex matters that will come up.  Winnfield is proud 
of this institution and extends the glad hand of these gentlemen.
