THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina
THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1959'
Aberdeen Outdoor Advertising Firm
Recognized For Help in Road Safety
The Mid South Company, an
outdoor advertising concern with
headquarters in Aberdeen, has
been recognized by the National
Safety Council and the North
Caroliila State Highway Patrol
for outstanding service to the
cause of highway safety.
The company, owned and oper
ated by Jere and Marcie Mc-
Keithen, is one of only four
North Carolina concerns receiv
ing the National Safety Council’s
“Public Interest Award’’ for
1958. The others are the Char
lotte Observer, WBTV television
station, and the Reynnolds^ To
bacco Company.
Mr. and Mrs. McKeithen went
to Raeligh this morning to re
ceive the award from Mayor
Charles A. Steed, director of the
safety division of the State High
way Patrol. Present for the
award ceremony were ‘Senator
Wilbur Currie and Representa
tive H. Clifton Blue.
The awards are made national
ly to radio and teleyision stations,
networks and syndicates, news
papers, general and specialized
magazines (except those special
izing in the field of safety), labor
publications, advertisers and out
door advertising publications, in
appreciation of their dedication
of a praiseworthy percentage of
their time or space to keeping
the public informed and alert to
highway safety.
In listing 428 such awards
made throughout the nation—
with only four coming to North
Carolina—Howard Pyle, presi
dent of the National Safety
Council, said: “A study of these
1958 public interest awards
shows the tremendous contribu
tions of mass communication
media to the sharp reduction in
the number of accidental deaths
a year.”
The McKeithens bought their
small outdoor advertising com
pany in 1954 and have since built
it up to the largest North Caro
lina owned concern in its field.
It is a sideline, however, as Mr.
McKeithen devotes most of his
time to the Aberdeen Supply
Company, of which he is a part-
During the past year, he said
yesterday, the company has, at
its own expense, ordered at least
one new safety poster each
rhonth and posted it on a bill
board in its coverage area, which
is concentrated in several central
Carolina counties.
In addition to the safety posters,
the company has provided free
space (about $21 per month) in
the interest of 29 different pub
lic service projects, including the
March of Dimes, Better Schools,
Sandhills Veterans Association,
Religious Overseas Aid, Red
Thursday
and
Friday
