L. N. Hollowell, active genera)
manager of Hollowell Chevrolet Com
pany since before The Depression in
1929, since 1927 to be exact, is no
an old man; he isn't even a middle
aged man, but his initiation into the
world of business began back when
freight boats periously navigated the
narrows of upper Perquimans Rivei
in order to carry the essentials of
life to Belvidere.
At twenty years of age he was in
the mercantile business in Belvidere
For a while he was postmaster there.
Two boats made the run to Belvidere
from Hertford.
"One of them," Mr. Hofllowell re
members, "was so big it couldn't turn
around until it backed up the river
a ways."
At the present, with the election
coming on, the head of Hollowell
Chevrolet Company is more in the
public eye than usual. For Mr.
Hollowell is chairman of the county
board of elections.
"Conservative" describes Mr. Holl
owell; he's conservative both in ap
pearance and in business dealings.
It was one of the chief qualities that
elected him president of the Lions
Club. The Lions wanted a solid
leader.
"I take pride in being a conserva
tive trader," Mr. Hollowell told The
Weekly reporter. "I don't like to
trade for badly used cars. It giver
the next man a raw deal."
Maybe all this is one of the rea
sons why Hollowell Chevrolet Com
pany is one of the oldest automobile
dealerships in this section of North
Carolina. Perry Motor Company in
Elizabeth City, Mr. Hollowel be
lieves, is older.
He started in the automobile sales
business in Hertford in 1927 by buy
ing a half interest in the old Speight
Motor Company. For the first six
months he was an active salesman
himself, and then he bought Speight
out.
He built the present huge home of
the Chevrolet Company in 1928 and
sold half interest in the business to
J. C. Blanchard and Company.
In 1935 Mr. HoMowell and T. W.
Wilson acquired the Blanchard stock
in the business. Mr. Hollowell be
came president and general manager,
and Mr. Wilson vice president.
"You started in business just be
fore The Depression arrived" the re
porter observed. "How did you gel
through it? People weren't buying
many cars then."
"I don't know," he answered. "But
I've seen many dealers come and go."
He was with the Farmers Peanut
Company in Ddenton before he took
up with automobile sales.
Today, Hollowell Chevrolet Com
pany is thoroughly equipped for salfH
or for service. There are threB
salesmen, three registered mechanics,
several helpers, a parts department,
over which P. L. Hendricks holds
sway, and full facilities for shop
Mi iwarv PliTwv. FioM i. th
bookkeeper, and has been employed I
there for the past three years
With the pride of a workman ir,
his craft, Mr. Hollowell showed th
reporter some fipures. "Look here,"
he said, "Chevrolet has outsold all
other cars in 1940 up to March 30th,
and is still leading all competition by
the greatest margin in history."
You would have thought he built
them himself.
Low Income Families
Get Cotton Mattresses
Cotton and other materials for the
making of mattresses is being given
to low income families of the State
through a cooperative program of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and the State College Extension Ser
vice. Already six counties have
availed themselves of this oppor
tunity to receive without cost sur
plus cotton held by the Surplus Com
modities Corporation.
The materials for making cotton
mattresses for low income families
are furnished in any county where
the County AAA committee certifies
that there are at leash 190 rural
families in the specified low income
group.
.' The Extension Service, through its
county agents, takes the lead in
conducting demonstrations to show
members of the families and other
,, leaders how to make the mattresses,
- tlckirisr.
,' .Farm families with a total cash
; income for the calendar year of not
moirfthaH:400, and non-farm famf-
' lie waa a. gross income ior tne year
" ot not more thar $500,, are eliirible
. to participate in- the surplus . cotton

son, Halifax and Wayne. Demon-
strations have already been held in
those counties and the cotton and
ticking is on the way.
In addition to these six counties,
applications have been received from
Hoke, Avery, Vance, Bertie, and
Yancey Counties. John W. Goodman,
assistant director of Extension, and
Miss Ruth Current, state home dem
onstration agent, are in charge oi
the program for the Extension Ser
vice. Miss Pauline Gordon, Exten
sion economist in home management
and house furnishings, and Eugene
Starnes, assistant farm agent-at-large,
are conducting the demonstra
tions. Egg Cookery Has Its
Right And Wrong Way
There is a difference between
"hard boiled" and "hard cooked"
eggs, says Miss Mary E. Thomas,
nutritionist of the State College Ex
tension Service. Likewise, soft boil
ed eggs may be hard cooked, she
says.
In discussing the "how" of egg
cookery, Miss Thomas offered sug
gestions in connection with the sec
ond week of the Springtime Egg
Festival, a consumer-producer cam-
i paign to increase the use of eggs,
which begins April 11. This drive
has the support of C. F. Parrish and
other Extension poultrymen of State
College. The Southeastern Chain
Store Council, through P. D. May,
its North Carolina representative, is
also active in the Egg Festival.
Miss Thomas Explained that eggs
should always, be cooked slowly, at
moderate, even heat. High cooking
temperatures make eggs tough. "For
either soft cooked or hard cooked
eggs with tender whites," the nutri
tionist said, "the eggs should be
placed in boiling water and then the
vessel should be set back from the
heat where the water will simmer
but not boil. For soft cooking, Heave
for hard cooking, allow 20 minutes,
for hard cooking, alloy ing 20 min
utes. "The same general method is fol
lowed in poaching eggs. That is, the
water should be boiling when the
eggs are put in, but the heat should
be lowered immediately and the eggs
cooked at the simmering tempera
ture." The State College poultry special
ists point out that eggs are cheap
now, and the wise homemaker will
use quantities of them in the family
meals, since they are one of the
protective foods needed in every diet.
New Dairy Foods
Contest For 4-H Girls
A rew educational contest on a
national basis is offered 4-H girls in
food projects. Titled the national
4-H dairy foods demonstration con
test, it is designed to encourage the
use and appreciation of dairy pro
ducts in homes and among all classes
of consumers.
Girls will work in teams of two
under the direction of club leaders
and county agents in developing
their demonstrations, which must
pertain to some phase of Vhe prepar
ation of milk, milk drinks, dishes
such as custards, cream and cheese
pies, cream puffs, salads and others
that emphasize the use of milk and
other dairy products. The State ex
tension service will provide informa
tion and suggestions for carrying on
the contest.
The two highest rating teams in
each county will receive gold and
silver medals. State winners will be
awarded all-expense trips to the Na
tional Dairy Show, Harri&bur?, Pa
October 12-19, where they will com
pete for national honors. Member
comprising the highest ranking
teams in each of the four extension
sections will receive 19-jewel wrist
watches, provided by a cheese com
pany of Chicago with all other
awards.
Further information and regula
tions may be obtained from exten
sion agents.
