There is a possibility that
Warren County may land a
new industry in the near fu
ture, gclby G Benton, presi
dent-' <>i OTe Bute Develop-?
ment Company, said Thurs
day.
Benton's announcement fol
lowed in the wake of an an
nouncement by Gov. Terry
Sanford last week that Little
ton is getting two new indus
tries that will employ approx
imately 200 persons.
Benton said negotiations are
underway with four separate
manufacturing firms which
have expressed interest in lo
cating a plant in the county.
A delegation of Warren in

Carroll V. Singleton, a part
time industry hunter who was
credited with locat'ng the two
new industries in Littleton?

ficials of one northern man
ufacturing concern Sunday.
Name of the firm was not re
leased.
All four industries now be
ing sought would each em
ploy more than 200 persons,
Benton said.
At Littleon, both indus
tries, Golfers' Sportswear Com
pamy; me., and the Littleton ?
Manufacturing Company, Inc.,
will locate in a recently com
pleted industrial building.
Plans are for operations to
begin in early 1964.
Golfers' Sportswear will
manufacture ski clothing and
other sportswear. The Little
ton Manufacturing Company
will produce quilted mater
ials.
A New York wearing appar
el manufacturer, Aaron
Hirschman, will serve as pres
ident for both operations.
Hirschman told officials he
has been impressed with the
cooperative efforts of the
community in securing the in
dustrial building project.
The shell building that will
house the two companies ? ia~
located on U. S. Highway 158
at the east entrance to Little
ton. It has a total of 25,000
square feet and there is room
for expansion. It was made
possible through the combin
ed efforts of the Littleton De
velopment Co., Carroll V. Sin
gleton and Associate?, con
struction firm of Henderson,
and officials of the Commerce
and Industry Division of the
State Department of Conser
vation and Development in
"Raleigh.

a few men will be employed.
