Along mm. tho Way l|i Imlfy KHIatta i Warsaw was a vfry pros perous (own in 1940 which grew from a strictly agri cultural community and many of the local businesses reflected the deep roots of farm. Along the Way began a review of articles about War saw merchants published by the DUPLIN TIMES in 1940. The April 4, 1940 issue of the 'DUPLIN TIMES recognized the deep-rooted connection of agriculture to the town of Warsaw. Featured busi nesses in the April 4th issue were farm supply stores and livestock companies. The DUPLIN TIMES pointed out some of the oldest businesses in Warsaw were the farm supply stores and livestock companies; these same establishments were among the oldest businesses in Duplin. The farm supply houses catered strictly to agricul tural needs offering both wholesale and retail service. Items sold in most of the farm supply stores were heavy feeds, seeds, groceries, clothing and shoes, farm equipment, farm machinery. fertilizers, harness supplies for live stock, hardware, dry goods and notions, farm supplies and building materials, hay, grain, farm implements, crates and package materials for farm crops and tobacco flues. These businesses also purchased local farm produce, feedstuffs an^ meats. D.E. Best General Store was the oldest merchant featured in the April 4 issue of the DUPLIN TIMES. Best operated the oldest general merchandise and farm ser vice store in the town of Warsaw and one of the oldest businesses in Duplin County. The general store was opened by L.P. Best in 1893. After the death of L.P. Best in 1925, the store became known as D.E. Best General Store. Best's store was noted as the most complete farm supph business in Warsa.v. And, during 1940 D.E. Best and six assistants operated the business. J.C. Russ operated the third oldest business in Warsaw. Russ established a farm supply store in 1916. The store offered farm sup plies. building and mason materials, hay. grain, heavy feeds, seeds, fertilizer, farm equipment and tobacco flues. Russ also farmed and would purchase local produce and feedstuffs at his store Duplin Supply Company offered farm supplies and was operated by D.J. Riven bark and H.E. Thigpen. The farm supply center had just recently opened in 1940 at the former site of the Riven bark grocery store. The store dealt exclusively with heavy feed, selling both wholesale and retail to local farmers. Duplin Supply was being managed by Thigpen and operated as the only ex clusive heavy feed store be tween Goldsboro and Kinston. Local farmers could bring their produce, corn, meal and poultry to trade with Duplin Supply Company. Warsaw had two livestock dealers which carried a large stock of horses, mules, cattle and hogs. Both livestock companies were considered the biggest between Golds Intro and Wilmington. Many of the animals supplied by the livestock companies were shipped to Warsaw by rail road. but the stock also included some local horses, mules, cattle and hogs. Ac cording to the DUPLIN TIMES the majority of the animals sold by the livestock dealers were ordered and arrived a train carload at the time. The best selection of work animals was found from September to early May. R.H. Best established his livestock company in 1898. The business had grown over the years and in 1918 a building was constructed to house over 100 head of livestock. Best dealt only with horses and mules. In addition to operating the livestock company, R.H Best farmed and produced a great deal of the feed for his stock. J.J. Barden Jr. was the second livestock dealer in Warsaw. Barden began his business in 1914 and by 1940 he had the reputation of being one of eastern North Carolina's leading livestock suppliers. The business ope rated from a building stab ling more than 100 animals from horses and mules to cattle and hogs. Barden also purchased a great deal of feed stuffs from local farmers to feed the livestock at his business. In addition to the farm supply centers featured this week in Along the Way, the past two weeks reviewed 1940 articles about Warsaw grocers and markets, furni ture, appliance and hardware centers, communication and transportation offices and department stores. THANKS! Duplin County is a fine county to be really proud of but I feel especially proud of a little town called Kenans ville, N.C. During the past three months I've been in and out of the hospital having major surgery. I'm happy to report I'm back at work again but none of this would have been possible without the fine staff of doctors and nurses here at Duplin General Hos pital who found my trouble and referred me to Green ville, N.C. Pitt Memorial Hospital where I've had surgery twice and extensive tests run. M; prayers and thanks go out to Dr. Boyette and Dr. Larry Lewis and staff at Put Memorial Hospital. My sincere thanks also goes out to the men of the sheriff's department and ray assistant Sgt. Olenn Bras well. who gave up their off time and time away from their families to cover the town for me. 1 can't ever repay you. Last but not least, my thanks go out to my neigh bors, friends and pastor, Rev. Lauren Sharpe, and to my family, who stood by me, sent cards, prayed and visited while I was confined to the hospital. Also to those who cooked meals and brought delicious food after 1 came home. 1 feel indebted to you all. It's people like you who make my job as Chief of Police of Kenansville easy.
