A STATEMENT CONCERNING
MID-PINES COUNTRY
CLUB, INC.
Its Personnel
The Mid-Pines Country Club was plan
ned and is sponsored by Knollwood Inc.,
whose directors are : James Barber, New
York City and Pinehurst, N. C, presi
dent; Leonard Tufts, Pinehurst, N. C,
vice-president and general manager;
Arthur S. Newcomb, Pinehurst, N. C,
secretary and treasurer; Donald J. Eoss,
Pinehurst, N. C, L. M. Boomer, (Waldorf-Astoria),
New York City; H. B.
Swoope, Madera, Pa., and Pinehurst, N.
C . ; H . H . Backham, Detroit, Mich . ;
H. A. Pago, Jr., Aberdeen, N. C; J.
W. Corrigan, Cleveland, Ohio; S. B.
Richardson, Southern Pines, N. C;
Thomas A. Kelley, Southern Pines, N. C. ;
J. T. Johnson, Aberdeen, N. C.
These men have all become share
holders in the Mid-Pines Country Club
by virtue of the land they are deeding to
it and the work they are putting into its
development. It is the purpose to add
to this nucleus a group who will prove
generally acceptable to one another and
the stockholders already interested.
The founders of the Mid-Pines Country
Club are either residents of the immedi
ate vicinity, or annual guests of many
years' standing at Pinehurst or Southern
Pines. Mr. Leonard Tufts of Pinehurst,
Mr. L. M. Boomer of the Waldorf
Astoria, and Mr. Donald J. Eoss, make a
trio whose combined knowledge of what
people want in the way of housing and
food and outdoor entertainment and how
to get it for them is probably not
equalled by any other group of several
times its size in the world. The profit
able financial management of the situa
tion is also a matter of practical knowl
edge to them.
Its Eeason for Being
A careful estimate of actual applica
tions for rooms in Pinehurst for the past
few years shows that it has been neces
sary to turn away from there each year
some 15,000 people who wanted to come
in February and March. Nor could these
people be cared for by Southern Pines
hotels. All the available houses for rent
in Southern Pines and Pinehurst could
be let many times over if all the applica
tions received each year were filled. The
wonderful climate and the sporting facil
ities which these kindred resorts have
developed during the past 25 years seem
to have rendered the attractions of the
section so irresistible that people are
willing to go to almost ridiculous lengths
to attain them. The development of
Knollwood, and particularly the etablish
ment of the Mid-Pines Country Club,

Incorporation and Business
Arrangements

lined later in this statement) for the suc
ces and well-being of the Mid-Pines Club,
Knollwood, Inc., voted to incorporate
the Club with a total authorized capital
stock of $750,000, divided into 300 shares
of the par value of $2,500 each; 150
