I 4 Along The Way j
ii,t %tt ?1yjL By Emily Kllletfe f
Kenansville hr s seen the opening
of several new businesses since the
first of this year.
In the old editions of the DUPLIN
TIMES, there are articles about the
opening of many businesses
throughout the county. Many of the
businesses are still in operation
' inila..
Looking through the 19S1 book of
DUPLIN TIMES, a story about the
opening of a Pink Hill business
appeared in the August 30 issue. The
story was about W.H. Jones and the
article is reprinted below.
W.H. Jowes Company Opens Now
Store In Ptnk Hfflt
Herb, rf Jones la Growing
The W.H. Jones and Company
- store in Pink Hill celebrated the
opening of its new addition last
Saturday with the greatest sale in the
history of the town, according to
Herbert Jones, general manager of
the firm. The new addition has been
completed, joining together the old
store building and the back building.
For many years a vacant lot has
stood between the two and now
" Jones' handsome brick structure fills
in the gap and adds to the attrac
? uveness of Pink Hill's business
? section. The new store houses dry
goods and notions in the front and a
self-service grocery and market in
the rear. The old part houses the
. hardware and appliances depart
ment and the offices. The hardware
had formerly been located across the
street in the building. Murphy Bostic
is the acting manager of the store.
W.H. Jones and Company was
; organized as a partnership and
opened for business in June 1932.
Herbert Jones moved to Pink Hill
two years prior to that. Other
partners in the business are Mrs.
Jones, Mrs. Mary Tapp Jenkins and
L.B. Jenkins of Kinston. The
Jenkins-Jones partnership has
shown steady growth and expansion
since it first was organized. In 1941
they opened the Jenkins-Jones
- Motor Company in Kinston of which
Mr. Jones is manager and in 1945
they bought the New Carolina Ware
house and in 1946 the Eagle Ware
house in Kinston. Mr. Jones also is
an extensive landowner in Jones and
Lenoir counties, operating many
farms with a total of 275 acres of
tobacco He is the largest single
I landowner in Jones County, having a
total of 3,700 acres there. He owns
700 acres in Lenoir County.
Mr. Jones, Herbert as he is known
by the writer, was born and reared in
the Moss Hill section of Lenoir
County, the son of the late Mr. and
Mrs. W.W. Jones. His younger days
were spent around Moss Hill and
Seven Springs where he pin-hooked
tobacco and speculated in real
estate.
Mr. Jones thought he saw a great
future in the farm supply business in
Pink Hill and decided to stake his lot
there. He and Mrs. Jones own a
handsome colonial-type hom< there
and he commutes daily between Pink
Hill and Kinston attending to his
business interests.
Our hats are off to Herbert and
Mrs. Jones and we wish them many
more years of success and happi
ness. *
