Duplin has produced many ; prophets in many ",'
? fields. DupM County is the proud father of
; many successful business i men who have gone
edit from bur Coders and made great names
for.einelves-iThe Carter family in Wallace .fe
i can be pointed oiit as a family who has madev".
good at home, and away from home. The' Ke-i
nan family made good at home and away from v
home.. The Kenans showed an interest in their , ?
home -town and now the Carter family of Wal-'
"f ace has expressed an even greater interest, fi-
H liancially in that through and by them the first , j

The Carter Fabncs Division of tne J. r, btev
