OLoer Easy Terms—Only ■ Few Cetits Devf _ "SAIR' MEAN Kentb to Fay BaL COMPANY & C. E. Jenkins was born In Rich mond County, where he was reared and educated, receiving bis common school education in Ellerbee and Bowie’s Creek-Camp bell college. His early work was that of sawmilling and in the lumber business in Montgomery county. In 1902 he secured em ployment with the Odell Hard ware company, of Greensboro, as a salesman. He continued with this company for twenty-one years. Nineteen yeats of this time was spent mosrly in this section of North Carolina. In that day he had to travel at times by horseback and at other times with horse and buggy. Mr. Jenkins was perhaps then, and is today, known better than any other man, hav ing contacted practically every merchant in the great northwest section of North Carolina as a travelling salesman, and perhaps there was never a salesman on the road for any company who was more efficient and knew his line better. Several years before Mr. Jenk ins resigned his work with the Odell Hardware company he was one of the organizers of the Wilkes Hardware & Furniture com.nany, and in 1912 he purchas ed the E. L. Hart Hardware com pany, which was later with the Wilk>ia Hardware Fur.nlture company. In 1923 he resigned from active service with i the Odell Hardware company and gave all of his time to his own company. His businesses, after merging, changed to the name of Jenkins Hardware Company, Inc., which Mr. Jenkins heads as pres ident. Today the Jenkins Hardware Company, which also owns and, operates the Smoak Furniture company, is one of the most out standing mercantile Institutions of its kind in this great northwest section. In 1935 Mr. Jenkins was honored by the United States Dis trict court of the middle district of North Carolina, in being ap pointed receiver for his old com pany, the Odell Hardware com pany, of Greensboro, and he im mediately took charge of this receivership and continued the operations in such a successful manner until it was only a few years until the business was in such shape as to dtrsolve the re ceivership. It can truly he said that it was due to the very ef ficient manner in which Mr. Jenkins handler! this receivership that it was able to pay out as It did. Mr. Jenkins has been interest ed In many of North Wllkesboro’s institutions in the past, has been a stockholder In the Bank of North Wilkeshoro as well as oth er major businesses In North Wll- kesboro. He is at present and has been for several years, a director of the North Wilkeshoro Building & Loan association. His keen and shrewd business judgment makes him one of the most valuable memoers of this hoard. No mem ber of this hoard receives compen sation for their services other than the secretary treasurer, Mr." Jenkins being one of those who ' | gives freely and unselfishly of his vsluable time to this organi zation. He has always stood for progress and is one who wants to see North Wilkeshoro and WllkeS county forge ahead to a bigger, and better community; he Is an untiring worker and a man who can always be found to be very optimistic; a lover of home ai ' church and a gentleman whose business judgment Is always high ly respected. The North Wllkes- boro Building & Loan association is to be congratulated on havioE such a competent board of direct >'-1 • tors of which Mr.’ Jenkins is a member.
