1^0 time to the company In
NoTeinber •1939. was elected
treagnirer nad manager of the In
surance department; W. A.
Brame. who has been handling
the life insurance department for
several months, will continue as
manager ot the life and accident
and health department; J. T.
Brame, who has been the chief
underwriter in the insurance de
partment. will contine In that ca
pacity; Miss Elizabeth Barber and
Mrs. Nina Call Kenerly are con
tinuing in the same capacity as
they have served for several
years In the clerics I and account
ing department.
The offices of the company'
have been moved from the Bank
of North Wilkesboro building on
9-th street to 822 “B" street in
the Wilkes Hotel Biiildirg. the
q-uarters formerly occupied by
the Duke Power company before
they moved to 9th .sitreet.
This new institution will give
North Wilkesboro one of the
outstanding insurance agencies of
North Carolina as well as a credit
department that will be of great
benefit and a>«istance to the peo
ple of this northwest section.
The capital .stock of the cor
poration has t>een increased suf
ficiently to take care of all husl-
nesR offered that is acceptable.
The officers and stockholders of
rhe corporation invite its friends
to use the fatilities of the cor
poration at a'.l tiine.s. J. R. Wil
liams. who has Iteen in the in
surance business in North Wilkes
boro for more than twenty-one
years, has had varied e.xerience
in the insurance busine-ss and will
have general supervision of the
management of the corporation.
Mr. Caroctn. who has had wide
experience in Itanking and fi
nance. will continue tiiroiigh the
credit deparuneut the same' 'ine
service he has rendered to ’he
people of this section for the past
three years. The corporation is
not a banking institution hut will
solicit and lie pleased to handle
all good loans that have hereto
fore been sent to outside finance
companies. By keeping our money
at home with home folks it will
help build the community, and
since most all of us do from time
to time purchase automobiles and
other commodities on an install
ment plan basis, they naturally
pay interest ami this interest
mostly heretofore has gone to
companies away from North
Wilkesboro and in most case^ a-
way from North Carolina.
The Journal-l’atriot welcomes
this new busine>ss to onr commun
ity and hopes for it the success
that it deserves and we believe
ihal it will 1m' a successful biisi-
ne.ss and will mean much to our
people.

WWle’ OUT country is somewliat
remote from the Intensity of
these conditions, we had our own
disaster In August paat when the
flood cauiied human snfferlng
and low of property amounting
to millions of dollars. The scars
of this catastrophe j^wlU be In evi
dence for time to come. Consist
ent with the courageous spirit of
our-i people in history past, this
flood disaster was the stimulus
to bring forth a renewed effort
to not only cope with the situ
ation but a determination to so
plan and rebuild that our com-
-m-unlty will recover in the short
est possible lime. 1940 was a
good year for the bank. Progress
has been recorded in pra'cllcally
all Rl .activities. In spite of the
effects of the flood.
“We turn our thoughts toward
1941 and with faith In the future
we plan and expect to have the
best year in our institution’s his

children alone In the living rooMNv
of the Dixon home were having
great fun putting pieces of paper
into the fire and then bringing
forth the flaming torches. That
is, the fun was great until one of
the torches happened to aligbt
on a living room chair. Then the
youngsters fled from the room
and agreed to say nothing about
the whole matter.
Neighbors noticing the blaze
removed the chair from the room
before firemen could reach the
scene. But Mr. Dixon’s loss was
about $.50. Chief Brown thinks It
will be many a day before tbose
