Agents Security Life and Trust Co. J A North Carolina Insurance Company That Keeps Your Money At Home. )“Tf Thad C. Ford And The 35 Year Old Firm of O. E. Ford Company When the artist went to sketch Thad C. Ford, merchant, alderman and churchman, he found him busy as usual, but this time he was polishing his car. He loves to ride (with his family) but he gets more joy and pleasure out of his church work, hence the insert shows him marching down the aisle at Central Methodist church, showing some member; of the congregation to a choice seat. When services start at Central Methodist, Mr. Ford is always there. Nothing but sickness could keep him away. For four years he was aid orman from his ward, now teaches a Sunday School class, is chairman of the finance committee of the church and is steward and-usher. Mr. Ford was born in Johnson county. At that time it was one of the most backward coun ties in the state. Today Johnson is at the top in farming, especially in the production of cotton. While Mr. Ford did not have a chance to contribute to the progress of Johnson, lie lias done his bit in Cleveland's most wonderful advance As manager and part owner of the O. E. Ford Co., he sells fertilisers, farm implements, buggies and wagons, Nissen wagons. John Deere farm ma chinery and the Fairbanks-Morse line of gasoline engines are leaders. In fertilizers the Ford Co., handles the best brands ar.u is perhaps the largest fertilizer dealer in this county. Two years ago Ford & Company was the largest dealers the American Agricultural Chemical Company had in .America. Fertilizers arc received by the car load and farmers consider this place headquarters, knowing that. Mr. Ford and bis business associate, Mr. Ear! Honeycutt, will give a fair deal. Both arc noted for their honesty and straightforward dealing. In addition to fertilizers and farm implements the Ford Co., has built up a large trade on Mount Holly common brick made by the Kendr'c-k Brick and Tile Co., and shale brick made by Johnson City Brick Co, Mr. Ford went to the Barium Springs Orphanage at the age of 5. At age 19 he came to Bel wood, taking charge of the Ford store and harness plant. He was postmaster there from 1909 to 191S when he came to Shelby. He was married to Miss Tommie Baber who was teaching school at Cherry ville. it Associated with Mr. Ford is Earl Honeycutt, a brother of Mrs. O. E. Ford. He is the 3on of a Methodist minister and veteran of the world war. Ho is a most courteous, affable and business like gentleman and Ford and Honeycutt make a pair that hold the respect and esteem of their many customers, carrying on in a bigger way than ever before a business established 35 years ago. .. .......... —i. . -- ..... ........ ..-.—- - . mn ...r.-.. „■■■—iar,-,i,-,Tin-a-Ti t. 35 Years Of Fair Dealing BUILT ON INTEGRITY AND FAIR DEALING FOR THE FARMER—Famous Nissen Wagons, John Deere Farm Machinery, Fairbanks Morse Gasoline Engines, Best Brands of Fertilizers. ^ FOR THE BUILDER—Kendrick Brick andT/le Company Common Brick, made at Mount Holly and Johnson City Shale Brick. 0.
