The PITMAN Is Steel One Piece! I
An AVERY PLUS Feature I
You could count on one hand the
times an Avery man has ever had cause
to say, “ I wonder why we didn’t think
of that.” This is true because the
Avery Ideal, begun 100 years ago, is
based upon thinking first. That is
the reason for Avery Plus Features.
For example:
In the average mower the Pitman
is made of wood and of a number of
parts. Among them are eight rivets
* Avery Plus Features Save You Time and Money
Any Avery implement costs what good quality is worth. These
Avery PJus Features —created by Avery designers, inventors and
craftsmen —are extra dividends which your money earns when you
r B 7 invest in the name Avery. They save both time and money. That is
#S/ F (/A why an Avery Plus Implement is the cheapest implement any man J I
(AVERY) can own. I ■■«■■■ 1

and four steel straps. A lot of lost I
motion results. To improve the imple- |
ment, Avery inventors created the |
one-piece Pitman of the Avery Cham- |
pion Mower. It is made of drop-forged, |
heat-treated steel. The eight rivets and J
four steel straps are eliminated —so is
the lost motion. This is an Avery Plus
Feature—-the result; of the Avery sys
tem of thinking and building. It ' I
makes a better implement. I

BUICK CO. A
ANNIVERSARY OF
. BANK CELEBRATED
AT BANQUET HERE.
D. B. Coltrane Honor Guest
at Banquet Held Tuesday
Evening in Private Dining
| Room of Hotel.
I Officers, directors, original stock
holders and employes of the Concord
National Bank and the directing heads
of the Cabarrus County Building Loan
and Savings Association enjoyed an
elegantly prepared and served banquet
in the private dining room of Hotel
Concord Tuesday evening.
‘ The banquet was held immediately
after the annual meeting of the di
rectors of the bank, the occasion be
ing the 39th anniversary of the found
ing of the bank by -its present Presi
dent, D. B. Coltrane. _x.AH officers
and directors of the bank were pres
ent at the meeting and the regular
semi-annual dividend of 6 per cent,
was ordered paid. .1 ~
j In addition the directors authorized
that an additional $30,000 be added
to the surplus fund, giving the bank,
capitalized at. SIOO,OOO, a surplus of
I $130,000 and an additional $30,000 in
j undivided profits.
j Mr. Coltrane, who was the direct
' ing head at the organization of the
| bank 39 years ago, was honor guest
‘at the banquet. During the evening
•he was presented with a lmhdsome
i silver pitcher, on which was inscribed :
! “Presented to Daniel Branson Col
trane, President of the Concord Na
tional Bank, by its Board of Direc
tors as a Token of 39 Years of Faith*
fill and Efficient Service. June 28,
1927.”
The presentation was made by-W.
R. Odell, one of the four original
stockholders at the banquet. ‘ Os the
five living original stockholders four
were present, these being Mr. Odell,
Mr. Coltrane, A. M. Brown and Shake
. spearp Harris. Rev. T. W. Smith,
! the fifth, is now a resident of At
lanta and could not be present.
T. H. Webb, Vice President of the
bank, was toastmaster and the ban
quet opened with the invocation by A.
F. Hartsell. Mr. Odell was asked to
speak for the original stockholders
and briefly he outlined the history
of the institution, its usefulness to
the city and ite hopes for the fu
ture.
Mr. Coltrane, after graciously ac
cepting the gift from his directors,
gave a brief resume of his banking
experiences in Concord, paying espe
cial attention to high lights in his
career. The first, he said, came when
soon after he reached Concord 39
years ago and started the organiza
tion of a bank local citizens here
wanted to know more about his past.
So they wired to friends in Missouri
where he had lived for 22 years and
in response were advised that ‘‘Mr.
Coltrane has ample money to carry
out any contract and will do what he
says he will do.”
Another unusual occurrence, he
said, came when a period of depres
sion struck Concord after a cotton
mill failure. For several days de
positors withdrew their cash from
his bank, he said, and there was some
fear of a failure in some quarters.
It was then that he received a tele
gram from a prominent Richmond
banker directing him to draw on the
Richmond bank for any amount need
ed.
One of the happiest moments of his
career as a banker, Mr. Coltrane said,
came last year when the handsome
home of his bank was opened to the
public, a building made possible by
the patronage of friendships created
during his residence in Concord.
Mr. Coltrane out that the
banquet and gift had created another
high light in his life and expressed
appreciation for the courtesy shown
him. He declared that the future
policy of the "bank would be one of
progressiveness, looking to the devel
opment of a bigger and better Con
cord.
Miss Lela Bruton, efficient employe
of the bank, was asked by Mr. Webb
to speak for the women employes, add
ling that quite a change has come
about in bank personnel in 39 years
since a woman bank employe was un
known until a few years ago. Miss
Bruton said it had been a pleasure to
serve with the management of the
Concord National Bank and assured
her listeners that the women were
anxious not only in making 6 per
cent, interest for the bank but to
make friends for the institution by
giving personal interest to their needs
and wants.
Gilbert H. Hendrix spoke as a rep
resentative of the building and loan
association which has offices in the
bank. His association, he said, has
enjoyed fine co-operation from the
bank officials, a co-ot>eration that has
made possible the association’s valued
contribution to Concord in the form
of homes.
