BEECHER CARL ALLISON IS FIRST 1948 ARRIVAL
We are proud to introduce
Beecher Carl Allison, young son
of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Allison
of the Machine Room. Beecher
Carl, named for both of his
grandfathers, is the winner of
the $25 savings bond offered by
our company each year to the
first baby born in the new year
in an Ecusta family. The new
arrival was born Monday, Jan
uary 5, at 12:49 p. m. at the
Biltmore Hospital in Asheville
and Dr. Kermit 3rown, well-
known Asheville obstetrician,
was the attending physician.
In an exclusive interview for
The Echo, Beecher Carl refused
to comment on life, but was def
inite in his stand that food and
sleep are the inherent rights of
infancy. In fact, to get the
picture below, he was rudely
aroused from a good nap by a
nosey photographer. He was
noncommital when accused of
closely resembling his father.
Mr. and Mrs. Allison have an
attractive pre-fab house on the
Rosman highway. Before her
marriage, Mrs. Allison was Miss
Grace Mull and was formerly
employed here. This is their
first baby.
Welcome, Beecher Carl, there
are a few problems to be
smoothed out yet, but it’s a
pretty good old world you’ve
come into, after all!
