as can be "looped" on about
fifteen sticks. The barn con
tains three sections for racks
with a total capacity of 100
racks. A curing produces from
1600 to 2,000 pounds of dry
tobacco, depending upon the to
bacco.
Gas beat Is used in these
barns aid Is operated by an
electric motor.
How does this barn compare
with other type barns of the
same size? "This barn is
supposed to hold as much to
bacco as a 16 x 20 foot; five
room barn, " said Dwlght, "but
actually It holds more.
The "Killing out" time for
a bulk barn is a bit slower
than othe r types, ranging up
to as much as a day longer,"
said the elder Mr. Hill.
An ordering system is in
cluded in the barn, and the
golden is brought to market
ing order in 4 to 10 hours, de
pending upon the type of tob
acco.
Cured tobacco may be re
moved from the barn and rea
died for the market with about
the same effort It is to put
on a truck to make the trip
to the packhouse.
Dwlght reaches into the barn
and removes a rack. This rack
is laid down on the improvised
floor where it is removed from
the tobacco. The tobacco Is im
mediately placed in the card
board circles and tied into ma
rketing sheets. A tractor with
a fork lift takes away the sh
eets, two at a time, to store
in a nearby packouse, ready for
market.
The Hill's believe that bulk
cured tobacco will bring as
much money per pound as other
type curers. If there is any
difference, it brings more mo
ney, not less.
The initial cost of this type
barn is $4,000. This inclu
des installation and of course
the heating unit. This is con

To be chartered as the At
lantlc Bankcard Association,
the twenty initial members of
the usoclation have a total
of over three billion dollars
in deposits. Fifteen other ba
nks are currently interested
in participating in the consor
tium with others expected to
affiliate as the organization be
gins operations early next year.
Organizers of the association
emphasized membership was
open in the consotrlum's char
ter group to any banks in No
rth Carolina, south Carolina
or Virginia until October 1,
1968.
The purpose of the associa
tion is to make available to
customers of the participating
banks a superior credit
program, utilizing the charge
card concept.
The card program to be ut
ilized by the new consortium
has not been determined al
though it is likely one of the
major national credit card sys
tems with international connec
tions will be selected.
One of the major advantages
of the association to Individual
card holders will be the use
of the card with any partici
pating merchant in three st
ates, the nation and the
world immediately. Atlantic
Bankcard will affiliate with the
Interbank organization for na
tional and international serv
icing.
Through participation in At
lantic Bankcard Association
banks in the three states will
be in a position to offer cre
dit card services to their cus
tomers regardless of the banks'
sizes. Such an association
will enable smaller and inter
mediate-sized banking firms
ready access to a tot aland com
plete credit card with a mi
nimum of Investment and op
erational expense.
According to statiscal sur
veys, the nigh cost of enter
ing the credit card field pre
cludes many smaller banks
from offering the credit card
service to Its customers whe
rets the consortium concept
enables bank* of any size
to render excellent services at
a reasonable and practical cost.
Virginia banks In the Asso
ciation include Colonial-Amer
ica of Roanoke; Fidelity Nac
tional of Lynchburg, and Vir
ginia National Baik of Norfolk.
Total deposits of these three
system banks approximates one
billion dollars.
North Carolina banks com
mitting to membership Include
Bank of Blscoe; Bank of Fu
quay; Branck Banking and Tr
ust of Wilson; Central Carol
ina Bank & Trust of Durham;
First-Citizens Bank A Trust
Company of Raleigh; Northwes

Peoples Bank and Trust of Ro
cky Mount; Planters National
Bank and Trust, also of Rocky
Mount; Security Bank and Trust
of Salisbury; Southern Bank and
Trust of Mt. Olive and South
ern National of Lumberton.
The eleven North Carolina
banks show total deposits of
more than a billion and a half
dollars.
With deposits In excess of
a third of a billion dollars, the
five participating South Car
olina banks are Citizens Bank
of South Carolina of Dillon,
First National Bank of South
Carolina In Columbia, Pee Dee
State Bank in Tlmmonsville,
Peoples National Bank In Gre
enville and State Bank and Tr

bia.
The structure of the associa
tion, which is similar to ot
her credit card associations in
the country, was determined th
rough a series of meeting s
attended by senior management
of the banks Involved.
Introduction of the credit c ard
with support from the entire
membership is expected early
