Progressing by leaps and bounds, with every improvement in the arts and sciences, the automobile business has kept pace with, if indeed, it has not advanced beyond all other lines of business. Paragould has a number of first-class automobile firms, and one worthy of special mention on account of the high quality of the forked turned out and efficient service to car-owners, is the garage of H. Feltenberger. This establishment is devoted to the repair of cars of all makes and a specialty is made of repair work of the highest possible class on Studebaker and Chevrolet automobiles, this being the local service station for these cars. This business is operated in connections with the Paragould Auto Sales Co. at 113 West Emerson Street. Mr. Feltenberger has had charge since May 1, 1918. He is a young man of progressive ideas and an expert in this particular line, having connected with the automobile business for years. He employs the most competent assistants and no job is too difficult for the firm to handle in a prompt and satisfactory manner. He is a live wire business man and has placed his establishment among the leaders in this line in this city.

Conspicuous prominence is maintained in the field of structural enterprise by Alvey's Tin Shop, of which J. M. Alvey is proprietor. This business is located in modern quarters on Court Street, first door east of the Paragould Trust Company. The shop is equipped with the latest improved machinery and devices for the manufacture of all kinds of tin and sheet metal products. They install skylights, ventilators, ceilings, manufacture ridge roll cresting and everything in the sheet metal products line, also repair tanks automobile radiators, gasoline stoves, etc. The work of this establishment may be found on hundreds of the best building of the city.

This is of the most modern plants of its kind in Northeast Arkansas and since it entered the local field some ten or twelve years ago has built up an enviable reputation for turning out high grade work at modern prices. Mr. Alvey is too well and favorably known to the local public to need any words of introduction in these columns. He is a progressive citizen and a wide-awake "booster" for Paragould and Greene County.

In giving the names of representative business houses of Paragould, mention must necessarily be made of J. T. Agee, dealer in general merchandise, with modern and spacious quarters at 111 N. Pruet Street. Mr. Agee is formerly of Morehouse, MO., where he engaged in the same line. He has been operating in Paragould about four years and has been at his present location since last March. His stock represents the best to be had from the representative jobbers and manufacturers and comprises staple and fancy groceries, notions, shoes, men's work clothing, household necessities, etc. This is a store where the dollar does its full duty and one where a fair and square deal goes hand in hand with each and every transaction. Mr. Agee's extensive experience in mercantile pursuits enables him to buy the best goods at the most economical figure and his prices are as low as can be had anywhere. Since locating here he has gained the fullest confidence of the masses and built up a substantial and steadily increasing patronage. He is a wide-awake business man and a constant booster for the community in which he is operating.
