WEYERHAUSER TO BUILD $50 MILLION PUNT NEAR NEW BERN; ECONOMY BLOOMS Tuesday George Weyerhauser, president of the giant Weyerhau ser Paper Company) Announced an additional $75 million dollar investment in Eastern North Carolina with $50 million of that amount to be invested in a new paper mill on Neuse River sev en miles upstream from New Bern, The other $25 million goes in to expansion of the company’s huge plant at Plymouth on Roa noke River. Weyerhauser said the new plant would employ 285 people when completed and would give work to at least another 500 in the pulp woods of this area.

Principal item in this loot was about $1500 worth of cured meats; including many country hams. Dail operates a market, fill ing station, country store and al so has the area’s only set up for old-fashioned curing of meats; which includes smoking hams, shoulders, bacons, sau sage, Tom Thumbs and pickling pork.
