SATISFACTION BRINGS THEM BACK - Durham
residents, Dorothy and Owen Fountain, say there is no
place like Duplin and stop on their way through the county
to visit friends they made at Duplin General Hospital in
Kenansville. The Fountain stop in Kenansville last week
was one of many visits since the couple was involved in a
serious traffic accident just outside of the county seat in
1982. Dorothy almost lost her life and spent almost six
days in the Duplin General Hospital, intensive care unit
cv
due to the accident in which the couple's motor home was
totalled. Since, Dorothy and Owen have returned to Duplin
several times to visit the ICU staff and Dr. Corbett Quinn,
M.D., and surgeon Dr. Oscar Redwine, and ask medical
advice from the Duplin doctors. Pictured, left to right,

MMjbleWith Most Big
Ranks IsWM Have
Forgotten HowTbliNK Small
Most business people in North Caro
lina are pretty smart when it comes to figuring
out how banks work.
If you've been around for more than a
few wears, chances are you've worked with a
small bank that has turned into a larger one.
\bu've seen how most banks go from
eagerly soliciting your business, to less than
eager helpfulness, to near total disregard as
they have grown.
for the small business person, it's
even worse.
The bank that you chose because of
its very size can now no longer identify with
yaur problems. They're busy in multinational
deals, worrying about Will Street, and buying
out-of-state banks.Those concerns make your
problems with working capital, pfent expan

sion, and cash flew small potatoes, indeed
Wfell, at First Gtizens Bank \ve don't
treat small business like small change.The
same goes for big business.
It's all a question of perspective and
focus. CXirs is totally concentrated on North
Carolina ? its citizens, its businesses, and its
progress.
Wfe are not an international wheeler
dealer. Wfe don't make foreign loans Wfere
not out buying banks in other states.That
philosophy has made us one of the strongest,
with this state ? not outgrow it That's one
reason you'll find more First Gtizens offices
in this state than those of any other hank.
YVb call that putting our offices where
our mouth is. Not to mention our heart.
So, if you've had the feeling that yxir
business is of less than earth-shaking impor
tance to your current bank; if vou feel smaller
and smaller everytime you go in for some help
or some advice, if you think a bank ought to
be paying more attention to North Gtrolina
and less to the economic problems of Mexico,
