New Chief, Cites Loan Program
John Q. Shaw, Jr., President of
Advancement, Inc. announced the
appointment of Robert L. Herring
as Executive Director of its opera
tions.
Herring, a native of Robeson
County, has a banking background
and has most recently been associa
ted with Farmers Home Adminis
tration.
He is a graduate of Pembroke
State University and Carolina
School of Banking, UNC, Chapel
Hill. He is a licensed Real Estate
Broker, a member of the Robeson
County Builders Association and a
member of the Area 11, local 34
Selective Service Board.
Advancement, Inc. is a private
non-profit development corpora
tion serving Bladen, Columbus,
Hoke and Robeson Counties, with
its office located in Lumberton.
The Board of Directors is made
up of business men and women
with extensive management and
professional backgrounds. The
board is equally represented in all
four counties.
Advancement, Inc. has recently
been certified by the Small
Business Administration as a Certi
fied Development Company under
its "503" Commercial Loan Pro
gram.
This program can be used to buy
land, construct, purchase and-or
remodel existing buildings, buy
Robert L. Herring
machinery and equipment, and pay
for the related professional fees
required to carry out the project.
The buildings financed by this
program must be occupied by the
owner. The fixed assets financed by
this program must have a life as
long as the mortgage note that they
secure.
The program can be used by
independent corporations, partner
ships, and sole proprietorships.
The business must have a net worth
that is less than $6 million.
The business must also have an

average net profit, after taxes, of
less than S2 million over the last 2
years.
This program is designed to help
finance projects that will provide
additional job opportunities and
one new job is required for each
SI5,000 worth of debentures.
There are several advantages for
a business to use the SBA 503
program administered by Advance
ment, Inc.
If a bank will finance 50% of a
project, then the SBA 503 program
can be used to finance an addi
tional 40%.
That leaves only 10% of the
project to be provided by the
business needing the financing.
Another advantage for a business
is that the 40% that Advancement.
Inc. finances through the SBA is
financed at a fixed rate.
The maturities available for this
40% are 15, 20 and 25 years.
Many banks are unwilling or
unable in today's unstable economy
to provide a fixed rate for financing
commercial loans for such long
terms.
Another advantage is that the
40% that Advancement finances is
payable at an interest rate that is
set by the Federal Finance Bank in
Washington, D.C.
This rate is usually a couple of .
percentage points lower than the
prime lending rate. SBA has
advised that they are normally
looking at projects that require at
least $100,000 debenture funding.
The bank that provides at least
50% of the project's financing
benefits from this program also.
The bank's 50% of the project's
financing benefits from this pro
gram also.
The bank's 50% is secured by a
first mortgage on 100% of the
projects assets.
The 40% that Advancement
finances is secured by a subordi
nate second mortgage.
Any small business manager that
seeks additional information about
how they can obtain fixed asset
financing through this SBA pro
gram should call Advancement,
Inc. at 919-738-4851 or visit its
offices at 500 North Walnut Street.

Hoke Heart Association Reorganizing
Plans to reorganize a more
formal Hoke County Unit of the
American Heart Association were
announced today by Ester B.
Temple of Fayetteville, Field Con
sultant and Emma Mims. Hoke
County President.
The first organizational meeting
will be held today in the Hoke
County Public Library at 7:30 p.m.
All citizens of Hoke County, Ms.
Temple stated, who are interested
in learning how they may join in the
fight against diseases of the heart in
their own community are cordially
invited to attend.
"Last year, over half of our
state's citizens lost their lives to
heart and circulatory diseases.
Many of those had problems which
can be controlled if only they had
taken the proper measures to
reduce their risk," Ms. Temple
said.
"Reduction and proper attention
to the risk factors of heart disease
will be one of the major goals of the
Hoke Unit," Ms. Temple pledged.
"Our citizens have a right to
receive this knowledge first hand. I
hope that many of our citizens will
join me and become actively engag
ed in the control of heart disease,"
she added.
