After filling their shoppidg carts with first quality items from the hundreds of neatly stacked shelves and bins in the 22,000 square-foot store, they can enjoy the art of local artists which is exhibited on an entire wall alongside the dining area inside the store. It's all because Dewey Hill, Chairman of the Board of Hillco Foods balls res that businesses don't run themselves - they run because of people. It's a philosophy he's held since be used to work as a bag and stock boy in his father's grocery store. Hill'Sjexperience in the business began in 1946, when he was a young boy in Whiteville, NC. His father had established a grocery store business in 1929. After high school graduation and a two-year assignment in the U.S. Navy, he says he returned to the business because the love of it ran through his blood. Hie long hours and hard work have paid off for the successful businessman. A recent merger with Don's Food Pride has netted the Hillco Foods corporation 32 stores in North Carolina. The newest store which recently opened in South port found Hill and Don Andrews busy hanging- signs way into the early morning. "At 2:00 a.m. after the store's night closing, Don and I were putting final touches on the store," laughs Hill. Andrews becomes president of Hillco Foods under the merger. Hill says he visits his stores because that's where the action is. He adds that on-sight visits cuts out a lot of the red tape which* traditionally accompanies chain stores. And even though Hillco Foods is located in nine counties of NC and currently boasts two percent of the state's food business, it operates on an independent grocer philosophy according to Hill. "Philosophy of operating a store determines whether it's a chain or independent store," adds Andrews. "We can be no better than the people employed by the company. The difference is the people." Both corporate officers agree that grocery shopping isn't easy, and that the best way to shop is at your own store. "We become the shopper's eye," they say. The attitude which steers Hill and Andrews most is store community payback. "I learned a long time ago that you can't take from a community without putting something in," says Hill. His longtime practice has been to support civic and cultural organizations located in communities where his stores are located. He was invited to speak before the Pembroke. Chamber of Commerce several years ago. He challenged the listeners to "Become anything you want to be." A young Lumbee Indian man in the audience took the words seriously. Today Harvey Godwin, Jr. manages Hill's Food Store in Pembroke. "In this community with it predominant Indian por ilation, there aren't many Indian people with grocery store management experience," says Godwin. "Mr. Hill hat given Indian people an opportunity to become managers in all departments of the Pembroke Store." "With today's state of affairs, it's just hard for a young man to get the capital to go into a business for himself. If we can provide the business and set him up so he can run the business, we are pleased to do so," comments Hill. '' Harvey does an excellent job with this business. He is an asset to the community." Hill's financial contributions are fitted to his stores' respective locations. He is a regular visitor to the annual Lumbee Homecoming held the first week in July. Each year he attends a performance of Strike At The Wind held during the summer at the Adolph L Dial amphitheater located two miles west of Pembroke. And when Strike At The Wind held its annual art auction dinner in late June at the Ramada Inn in Lumberton, Hill and Andrews were among the 300 supporters attending. As in the past years, the businessman bidded on a numbered limited edition promotional print offered at the fundraiser. This year, Hillco Foods paid $900.00 for a print by Gloria Tara Lowery. Instead of hanging the art in the corporate office located in Whiteville, Hill ordered it to be placed among other pieces of art he has bought and displayed in the Pembroke store. The merger of Hillco Foods and Don's Food Pride assures grocery shoppers continued quality and cheaper prices says Andrews who brings 30 years experience to the business. "Quality becomes our main concern in all departments. We will give customers better value because of being able to sell grocery cheaper." Honesty and knowledge become the key elements of the business and community,Hill assures. "We pledge continued support We are very proud of this store, its people and the community in which it's located." * t F>&m2=>xroJ*.& Stz&.tz& Urx J. v&r s: JL tzij : Tti& JLtQSLS-tz ?7xp?nsfi v?

There wfll be spedal speak JSARAM RICE TO ARREAR IIV CONCERT AT CAR OIL, IN A CIVIC CENTER Sarah Rice It shouldn't be this hard to make an album, even if it is your first. That's what Lloyd Street Records recording artist Sarah Rice might legitimately say about her debut album, "MUSIC MAN." It's been almost a year from the time Sarah decided to record her first album and it has been a year of learning about the record business from the inside out If medals were awarded for positive attitude and stick-to-it de termination, Sarah would have hers now. All that hard work has been rewarded with an album which establishes Sarah as a country artist who is ready to carve out her place in the music industry, and the first carving will be in Lumberton on Satuday, August 27th at 8:00 p.m. Sarah Rice will perform in her first concert at the Carolina Civic Center. Sarah and her band will do the spngs from her album and new material which may be featured in a second album. In case you are wondering why Sarah is coining to Lumberton, well, there is a family connection. Both her Dad and Mom, LeRoyce and Sylvia Rice have family in the Lumberton area, and this perfor mance will be like a hometown get-together for many of her friends and family. You may want to make compari sons when you first see Sarah, but none of them can quite describe this vivacious entertainer. She is a blond, but she's not a Barbara Mandrell. She has a great figure, but she's not a Dolly Parton. She has gutsy delivery, but she's not a Tanya Tucker. She is her own woman, and you will see that first impressions can be misleading. There's more to Sarah than meets the eye. She is a lady with a countiy heart. The concert will be hosted by emcee A1 Kahn, from local radio stations WAGfVWJSK. A1 is "a firecracker" who has been entertain ing audiences st high schools and other local and civic events for years and he is guaranteed to spark up your night with his quick witted humor. Singer/ songwriter, Michael Kelsh will open the show with his own brand of country music. Micha el's cassette album "Ghost Dance" also on Lloyd Street Records has been featured on the nationally syndicated radio program "Folk ways." Michael Kelsh performs regularly in clubs throughout the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area and now you will be able to see why so many people in the Triangle are loyal fans. That's not all! There will also be a spec ail dance performance by a pretty little dynamo, Kimberiy Dale, who by the way has family in Lumberton. She is a prize winning little Miss in regional beauty contests. This is going to be entertainment you can bring your whole family to. If you haven't attended a concert in the Carolina Civic Center, you haven't heard how good a live concert can sound. This converted movie theater was built at a time when audio design was important It has the accoustical qualities that make a room a special place to hear a performance. Harrison Bros, of Carrboro, who have some of the best equipment in the business will provide the sound reinforcement and lighting which will insure a show that sounds great and looks great Sarah's band consists of: John Larson on drums. John has worked with Mike Cross, Glen Campbell, and Donna Fargo. Nat Smith on bass, engineered and played bass on "The Attitudes" album which is currently receiving excellent reviews. Tommy Tyson on keyboards, also a song writer. Oh yeah, Tbmmy is the one who will be. smiling- slot. Kate ' Battonfeld will be featured as a backup vocalist Adding her lilting vocings to Sarah's Kate has worked with country bands in California. Andrew Scott guitar and vocals, is a man of many talents. He is the bandleader and his background is Southern- Rods bands in of all places. Conn., N.J. and N.Y. This band is hot and they come together to create a sound that is custom made for Sarah. Come join us for a show T m sure you won't forget You will have a good time and years from now you will be able to say "I say Sarah's first concert in Lumberton." Doors open at 7:30, show starts at 8:00 and immediately after the concert you can meet Sarah and get her autographed poster.
