C.rr. HARTSOE IS SECRETARY OF ADAMS-MILLIS
C. W. HARTSOE
Charles W. Hartsoe has assumed
the duties of secretary and assistant
treasurer of Adams-Millis Corpora
tion, the position to which he was
named at the March meeting of the
board of directors.
Hartsoe, a Certified Public Ac
countant, formerly with Ernst and
Ernst of Winston-Salem, is a native
or Rising Sun, Maryland, where he
was reared on a farm. His parents
are natives of Ashe County, North
Carolina.
Following his graduation from the
University of Maryland with a B. S.
Degree and a major in accounting,
Hartsoe was with Firestone Stores in
Silver Spring, Maryland, as office and
credit manager for a year. Beginning
in 1950, he spent two years in the
Army at Arlington, Virginia, with the
Armed Forces Security Agency.
Upon his discharge from the Army
in November of 1952, Hartsoe joined
Ernst and Ernst in Winston-Salem as
a junior accountant. During the seven
years following, he rose successively
to senior accountant, supervisor and
assistant manager, having remained
as assistant manager since October,
1959.
One of his first auditing assign
ments with Einst and Ernst in 1952
was the account of Adams-Millis
Corporation. He has worked with
most of the audits of Adams-Millis
since then and is familiar with the
operations of the company. Working
with the audits took him into most of
our plants during inventory counts.
His experience in auditing the finan
cial statements and records of Adams-
Millis for eight years has given him
familiarity with our financial opera
tions .
Hartsoe is the third accountant
from Ernst and Ernst to become
secretary of Adams-Millis Corpora
tion. The late T. C. Langley was
with the same firm prior to joining
Adams-Millis as was H. O. Williams,
successor to Mr. Langley and secre
tary and treasurer prior to Hartsoe's
appointment. This is an indication of
the good relationship between Adams-
Millis and the firm which has audited
its financial statements for many
years.
Charles Hartsoe is married to
the former Colleen Ivey of Corpus
Christi, Texas; they have three
children, seven-year-old Eileen,
five-year-old Karen and three-year-
old Charles. They are now living in
Winston-Salem but plan to move to
High Point this summer. They are
members of St. Paul's Episcopal
Church in Winston. Hartsoe also holds
membership in the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants and in
the North Carolina Association of
Certified Public Accountants.
