Years Watched By Merchant

Dunn in 1900: a very small, quite town consisting of a
few brick buildings, a few frame business buildings and
dwellings. Trading center for the farms around.
Three big farms cornered where
the First-Citisens Bank and Trust
Co. building now stands. A public
well in the middle of W. Broad St.
A big frame hotel standing on the ;
site of the Coca-Cola plant.
This picture is from the memory
of 3. E. Black, who operates a fer- 1
tilizer business on Lucknow Square. ■
Mr. Black is an old resident of Dunn,
having movea here with his family
when he was a boy, in 1900, from
the country. ■
POPULATION 490
In that 50-year interval, the :
silver-haired fertilizer dealer has 1
seen many changes In the settlement.
He has seen it grow from a tiny
town to a thriving city, the metro- '
polls of Harnett County. (In 1890, ;
the census showed 490 people; the
1950 census listed 6,325). •
“There were two or three brick
buildings in town,” he recalls. “The
rest were of wood, and most of them
have disappeared by now.”
A cotton yard occupied the space
in Lucknow Square now used by
the postoffice and other buildings.
The public well in- the middle of
W. Broad St. was placed between ,

NEW REFRIGERATORS "YEARS AHEAD"
Are Causing A Stir Among
Harnett County Housewives
Spanking new 1951 refrigerators, hailed as years ahead
in styling, construction, performance and dependability,
are causing a stir among Harnett County homemakers
who take pride in their kitchen equipment.
Those who have inspected these glistening new models
have agreed that International Harvester Company’s “fem
ineered” refrigerators for 1951 are striking examples of
advanced design.
“ For the first time, customers
are offered a choice of color ‘ac
cent’ in the door handles,” said
Mr. Malcolm Fowler of the Fowler
Radio Go. . International Harvester
refrigerator dealer in Dunn, Erwin
and Lilllngron. “Th& refrigerator
now may be keyed to any kitchen
color sceme—an International Har
vester exclusive for 1951. The buy
er has a choice of 10 colors, includ
ing black ahd white. The colon are
plastic plaques, interchangeable so
the color ‘accent’ can be changed
to harmonize with changes in the
kitchen color scheme. Fowler Radio
Co. can make unmediate installa
tion.
On display at Fowler Radio Co.
the new “femineered” refrigerators
range In size from 7.4 to 95 cubic
feet, and have these basic fes&«s
In common: full length, X-bnused
doors; burger Inside storage space;
acid-resistant porcelain enamel in
teriors; easy sliding crisper* with
stops; oversize bottle spsewyi -ad
justable temperature controls; au
tomatic interior lights; hermetleaQy
sealed refrigerating itnite wtth a
the present locations of Quinn’s and
the Esso Station across the street.
One of the early memories Mr.
Black has of the town is of Hotel
Divine. Standing on the spot where
the Coca-Cola plant now is, the
big frame hotel was built in 1889.
As Mr. Black recalls, a Dunn res
ident went down to Georgia when
that state was the center of the
turpentine industry, made a fortune
in the business and came back.
He bought the hotel, spent a small
fortune on repairs—and it burned
shortly afeer. in 1906.
Mr. Block’s father, T. A. Black,
was in the grocery business. His
store was a frame building situated
on the lot r.ow occupied by Johnson
Furniture Co.
MODEST PERSON
Most notable feature of the long
time Dunn resident Is his modesty.
It is hard to get him to talk a£out
himself. He has been, for the past
12 years, clerk of sessions for the
Presbyterian Church here.
“Nothing to that,” he says. “The
moderator handles all the details of
it. All I do is write down what
happens.”
And he is like that about all his
accomplishments, and all his pos
sessions. This does not mean to
say he is hard to get along with,
or difficult to talk to. He will talk
enthusiastically about almost any
thing except himself.
He likes to*talk about the ferti
lizer he sells, for instance. He has
had long experience in the business,
for himself since 1933, and before
that, with Marvin Wade Co. for
about 17 years.
He and Mrs. Black live in a neat
brick home on W. Cumberland St.
A son is bookkeeper for Quinn Fur
niture Co. Their daughter, Mrs
K. A. Williams, also lives in Dunn,
where her husband is employed
with the Southern Dixie Life In
surance Co.

International Harvester’s exclu
sive “Diffuse-O-Lite” is included

"The bottle openers on two mod
els are magnetized to hold on to
caps,” Fowler said. Three models
have cold-to-the-floor refrigeration.
This means added food storage
space without added size.”
Other outstanding features of the
new line are extra large freezer
lockers that store up to SO pounds
of frozen food; chill trays and
special meat drawers that store
from nearly 11 pounds of meat in
some models to almost 17 pounds in
others; * bottle storage capacity

"This doesn’t mean total
