THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Aberdeen, North Carol^
May 29,
School Bus Bodies
Made at West End
M. C. McDonald Heads Company
which is Building Up Sub
stantial Business
The McDonald Manufacturing Com
pany at West End make bodies for
trucks and vehicles. School busses
form the special factor of the plant,
and meet with a popular reception.
Personality is a factor in this concern
for Moses C. McDonald, whose name
the place carries, has been actfve in
the life of West End as long as he
has lived. His character has served as
guarantee for anything on which his
mark appears, and the familiarity of
the men in the shop witli the need of
the road service of theterritory serv
ed enables the institution to satisfy
its patrons. W’est End is one of the
leading industrial centers of the j
county, with a promise ahead of be
coming more conspicuous. The McDon- ;
aid Manufacturing Company is help- '
ing to make in Moore county a solid j
line of prosperity. |
ORNAMENTAL IRON WORK
A MOORE COUNTY INDUSTRY
When Lorenson & Harbottle came
to Aberdeen a few years ago they
entered a field that was unoccupied,
but they soon showed the value of
their factory. They make novelties in
wrought iron, in sheet iron, in hand
work and in machined product.
Fences, brackets, hammered hard
ware for building, ornamental work,
tanks, and various unusual things.
Many of the new homes in the vicin
ity give evidence of their work and
its originality and adaptability to the
architecture of the Sandhills. They
have widened a field that did not seem
to exist when they came here, and now
were they to go away every^dy would
wonder how we ever got along with
out them. They belong pretty closely
to the art class in their wrought-iron
production.
Made-in-State Sale
Pinehur^ Department Store
Offerings Show Scope of
Home-Made Products
The Pinehurst Department Store
rings the bell in its announcement
of the sale of many things made in
North Carolina. When you look
over the list of things made in
this state it is rather surprising
how much is contributed by North
Carolina factories and shops, and
it looks as if the cry that we buy
too much away from home is not
weHgrounded . The Pinehurst De
partment Store stands loyally by
North Carolina made products, and
i£ leads the way for the rest of us
to stand by Made-in-North Caro
lina as well as Made-in-Moore
county. Fact is, all of Pinehurst is
right active in supplying its needs
from North Carolina and from
Moore county products, for a
steady stream of wares from the
state and county flow in that di
rection.

A. B. SALLY INTRODUCES
NOVEL BUILDING IDEAS
A. B. Sally at Pinehurst is o-ne of
the illustrators of the Made-in-Moore
County idea, for he is a contractor
r and builder and he introduces many
‘ a novel and original idea in his con
struction. Sally was instrumental in
establishing the use of native stone,
going out into the forests and hill
'country to hunt up good, building
stone and one of the first examples is
j the archery building at Pinehurst,
which was his creation. He has put a
lot of stone in many buildings, many
innovations of all sorts, and has his
mark on a lot of the best jobs in the
county. Moore county would feel lone
some without the things Mr. Sally has
been creating in the county since he
put his feet in the tar belt many years
ago.
During 1929 North Carolina fac-
tories gave emplowment to 208,068 I Forty-seven cents out of every doJ-

1931.
When the Sandhil Furniture Corpor
ation was founded at West End it
was more or less of an experiment,
but its new features soon showed the
experiment was based on sound foot
ing. In 1930 the plant operated with
out the loss of a day, operating now
about 60 men, making poster beds.
An addition to the plant which will
almost double the capacity is now un
der construction. It will be ready for
operation about August 1. The com
pany makes special lines of beds of
walnut, antique maple and other
woods of an unusual type, with built
in electric lights at the head. This
innovation has made a big hit. The
wood used is cut largely from the
swamps and old farms of the neigh
borhood, the walnut output being of
special interest. Much gum is yfound
by the cruisers who hunt up the tim
ber, which by selection affords many
rarities in the creation of striking
furniture models. The Sandhill cor
poration has made a new center of the
West End section.
