Fashion Shop Owner\
Loves The Business
L. E. Ferrell, owner of Dunn's swank new Fashion |
Shop, is a natural-born merchandiser. He’s been mer-;
chandising goods practically all his life.
He loves the business and puts;
his whole heart and soul into it. i
■ghat's one reason why he's been
so successful.
After service for 19 years as a
manager for Efird's Department
Store. Mr. Ferrell opened the Fash
ion Shop at Smithfield two years
ago.
He saw the need for such a store
in Smithfield. Hundreds of women
there were going to other cities
to do their trading. He put in the
sort of store and the kind of mer
chandise they wanted. His store has
been a success.
“I believe the same situation ex
ists in Dunn." declares Ferrell,
"and I believe that by offering the
kind of merchandise the women
want that we can keep that busi
ness in Dunn.”
That’s the reasoning that led
him to the establishment of one
of Dunn’s most beautiful new stores.
BELIEVES IN SERVICE
Mr. Ferrell is a man who be
lieves in giving service.
"I just love to serve the public "
points out Mr. Ferrell. He points
out that he always sells merchan
dise—the same nationally-advertised
brands for from 10 to 20 per cent
less than other stores.
“I don’t have any desire to get
rich," he says. “I enjoy serving
the public and I just want to make
a living.”
He finds a thrill in going to New
York, buying the latest fashions and
then watching local ladies rave
over them —and buy the goods.
Mr. Ferreil is a native of Wake
County, son of Mrs. W. E. Ferrell
and the late Mr. Ferrell. He grew
up on a farm near Fuquay but
left home at 21. deciding he want
ed to go into business.
STARTED AT SlO WEEK
His first job was at Phelp’s Store

•in Fuquay. where he clerked for j
; $lO a week. He didn’t get much
money, but he got a world of val
uable experience. It was one of
i the old-fashioned general stores
that carried everything from salt
! herring to hardware, furniture and
i clothing.
Mr. Ferrell won’t ever forget his
first interview.
"What can you do?” asked his
prospective employer.
‘‘Anything you want me to do."
replied the young Ferrell.
"How much pay do you want?”
asked the employer,
j "Mr. Phelps.” he replied. “I fig
ure that if I do the work satis- i
factorily you’ll pay satisfactorily."
They were both pleased with the
results.
Later, however, Mr. Ferrell de
j cided he wanted to go into the
i mercantile business and heard of
lan opening in Smithfield,
i An official of Efird’s was in
| Smithfield interviewing prospective
employees. “And.” recalled Mr. Fer
! veil, “they were lined up all around
I the block.” At first, he started not
to bother to apply, finally decided
i to go in. To his surprise, he got
a job. The job was only temporary
however, for Saturdays only. As
-1 ter the second or third Saturday
. I however, his boss told him to move
to Smithfield that he had a reg
ular job. *
He stayed with Efird’s for IP
l years. For 17 of these years, he was
■ manager of the Smithfield Store.
Mr. Ferrell married the former
■ Miss Hattie Elizabeth Batten, dau
l ; ghter of the late J. J. Batten, fam
ed throughout this section as a
: Federal revenue officer. Mrs. Fer
■ rell was a cashier at Efird’s when
she married the manager.
Mrs. Ferrell is also experienced

serve at the will of the board.
NO INCOMPETENCY
Chairman Tart told the board an
exhaustive investigation on his part
had failed to reveal any incom
petency on the part of the auditor
and that his services were highly
satisfactory in every way. Other
Other commissioners reported simi
lar experiences.
They said they had been flooded
with an array of unsolicited callers
praising Carson's work since The
Daily Record revealed that because
of Carson's failure to contribute
to the Democratic party campaign
fund others were seeking his posi
tion.
No aoplications for Carson’s job
were made at the meeting. And in
the closing session of the old board
the retiring commissioners passed a
resolution thanking all county offi
cials for their cooperation in the
past two years.
COMMITTEE NAMED
Standing committees set up yes
terday were as follows: Committee
to destroy liquor stills, Commis
sioners Mangum and Lasater;
courthouse committee, Commission
ers Byrd, Mangum, and Lasater;
county home committee, Ingram
and Mangum.
i Mangum, the new member, also
drew another non-paying job, com
missioner in charge of the annual
Farm Census.
1 John D. Mason, the present super
intendent of county home, was re
named to this position for the
month of December. On January 1,
the county home will become the
Cornelius Harnett Boarding Home.
Mr. and Mrs. Mason have leased
the home under the new arrange
ment and final approval is now
pending from the State Board of
Bublic Welfare, which will be the
supervising agency under the lease
agreement.
Commissioners were told yester
day that the county welfare author
ities have transferred all present
residents of the county home to
the state and federal relief rolls
and they are ready to operate as
home. Conversion is expected to be
paying guests in the boarding
completed by the first of the year.
I Auction of county home proper
ties on Saturday brought $585 and
I sale of hogs added another $2,499.48
j to this amount. Bethune Brothers,
Lillington austioneers, handled the
, sale.. The money will be applied
to buy new furnishings required
by the state welfare department in
i order to make the home meet the
j boarding horn standards.
| Ralph L. Gregory of Angier, Rt.
2, was granted a free county-wide
j peddlers license for one year.
DISCUSS BUILDING
; W. M. Weber, Raleigh architect
j appeared before the board to sug
| gest that the county take advan
! tage of the 2,200 remaining square
I feet set aside by the State Medi
, cal Care Commission for a health
center in Lillington. The board tobk
the matter under advisement.
At present the county health df.
; ficer and his department is ade
| quately housed in the county agri
i culture building, but since voters
j have turned thumbs down on a
new courthouse and office space
is at a premium, Weber suggested
the new health center, if built, would
■ free present health offices for other
uses.
! Two road petitions requesting
black top or other hard surfacing
were presented, approved and sent
jon to the district highway office.
They were: one mile in Averas
boro-Grove township;, known as
Wonder Town Road, running from
Dunn and Erwin to the Old Field
1 Church and graveyard: and 1.5
miles in Barbecue township, run
ning from Love Grove Church to
Barbecue highway known as the
Benhaven-Morris Chapel Road. Five
schools buses now travel this route
which is sandy and bumpy.
A petition also came for a street
1 sists with operation of the Smith-
I field store.
1 CIVIC LEADER
i ! Mr. Ferrell is a Baptist and a
: Rotarian and throughout the years
, has been one of the business and
. , civic leaders of Smithfield.
. j "I’ve always liked Dunn." he con
i sided today, “and I’ve always
. I dreamed of having a store here.”
i His dream has come true.
The Fashion Shop will hold its
1 grand opening on Thursday morn

lation of a fund of $5,000 now on
file with the county auditor. This
sum, he said, would practically
meet the cost of the radio install
ation.
Radio sales representatives told
the commissioners yesterday the
cost of erecting a radio tower on
the courthouse, the water tank and
installation of modern equipment
which would link all the county’s
municipalities in 22 mile mobile
relay system would cost around
$5,200. Installation, it was reported,
would take only a week, but a lic
ense from the Federal Communi
cations Commission requires around
six weeks to clear.
With only an increase in the
height of the tower, the range of
protection could be increased with
no addition of equipment.
Commissioner Worth Lee Byrd of
fered the motion to ask for bids
on radio equipment for the sheriff's
department. "We have been talking
about this for a long time,” add
ed B. P. Inaram, ’’l think we
ought to go ahead and do it.”
