Bully Kltl?tt?
Textiles provide a great
number of jobs for people in
Duplin and county people
encourage new types of tex
tile factories to open locally.
But, textiles are a relatively
new trade within our county
which has supported milling
and agricultural trades since
colonial days.
During 1941, Duplin ex
perienced a growth all over
the county with businesses
and new homes being built.
The growth brought about
new jobs and drew new
comers to our county.
According to an April 3, 1941
issue of THE DUPLIN
TIMES, Kenansville wel
comed the opening of Wells
Oates Lumber Company.
Later in 1941, a November 6
issue told of the construction
of a flour and feed mill in the
town of Warsaw. Along with
these two new businesses,
many towns were opening
new municipal buildings.
Wallace added an addition to
their town hall to house their
first fire engine and a 20
room hospital was to be
erected, an August 7, 1941
issue of THE TIMES stated.
The opening of Wells
Oates Lumber Company in
Kenansville relieved some of
the unemployment caused by
the closing of the Hardwood
Lumber Company. Wells
Oates purchased the plant.
Wells-Oates operated
lumber mills in the towns of
Jacksonville and Hallsboro
before opening the Kenans
ville plant.
The Warsaw Hour and
Feed Mill was built b\ Joe C.
Surratt, who came to Duplin
from Davidson County. The
main portion of the mill was
30 feet by 40 feet. The
structure was four stories in
height including the base
ment. Another person re
located to Duplin by the
construction of the mill was
John H. Cooper of Roanoke,
Va. Cooper was an expe
rienced flour miller and was
hired by Surratt to supervise
the construction of the mill
and the milling process.
The mill was built with a
storage capacity of 6,000
bushels. In addition to the
flour mill was a feed grinder
for chicken feed. The feed
mill portion was constructed
with a corn-cutter, grader for
chicken feed, hamraermill
and a sheller for shucking
and shelling corn.
And, in Wallace, the town
was growing with the addi
tion of more than six miles of
newly-paved streets and
plans for fire and health care.
A 20-room hospital was pro
posed by Dr. Deane Hundley
with construction to begin as
soon as carpenters were
available. The town hall
opened a new addition to
house the first fire engine
purchased by the citizens of
Wallace. The addition to the
town hall increased the
building from 20 feet by 30
feet to 42 feet by 30 feet.
The boom in building went
throughout Duplin with the
construction of new produce
market sheds and town
municipal buildings and
private dwellings. Duplin,
like the remaining counties
within North Carolina,
seemed to be experiencing a
renewed confidence in the
economy. Jobs v ere being. t
created through the use of
building materials in local
construction and Duplin citi
zens were feeling relieved.
