ing Commissioner Ben Rob
erts here last Friday morning,

Some 300 interested citizens
attended, and many spoke at
the hearing.
The house was divided.
From the commissioner’s
vantage point, persons seated
on the left were supporters of
Northwestern, while those on
the other side were for First
Citizens.
For two hours, officials and
partisans of the two banks ar
gued why one should be se

lish banking facilities here.
The full banking commis
sion will meet October 24th in
Raleigh to decide the issue.
Edwin Duncan, Jr., vice
president of Northwestern,
was heard first. He argued
that Northwestern is a regional
bank and therefore is in a bet
ter position to serve the needs
of the people of Brevard and
Transylvania County.
“We have spent all of our
lives,” he said, “developing a
bank suitable to this area and
to its people.”
Mr. Duncan said Northwest
ern has been operating in
Buncombe and Henderson
counties for a number of years
and “we feel we know the area
and can better serve it”
