Barbours Observe Ih Anniversary Tnls week the Barbour Marine 1919 The most notable change is the affiliation of J. O. Barbour, Jr., bour. At that time, "Jo," as he is commonly known, was just a little tyke. Today, with a record of months of service in the armed forces during the second world war) he hs assisted in the shop's expansion and increase in marine and mill snnnlies whirh hns marip Barbour Marine Supply company one of the most modernly equip ped shops in eastern Carolina. The Barbour brothers purchased the' business operated by A. F. Doane in 1919 and located just west of the present Site of Front street. Just when things were going along well, fire struck on Dec. 15, 1921, destroying the building and equipment. Rolling up their sleeves again the Barbour brothers bought the property known as the W. J. Moore and Son shop which was located in the building now occupied by Biggs Shoe shop. This soon proved too small, however, and they pur chased the site on which they are now located and moved there in April 1922. About 10 years later, J. O. Bar bour bought out his brother's in terest in the firm and changed the name to Barboor's Machine shop, the name by which the business is known yet by many of the older folks in Beaufort. Their history is a notable one and congratulations on their industry and integrity are due from all of Carteret county.
