This division of Fidelity Bank is a full-service multi-family wealth man- agement office now head- quartered in Fidelity Bank’s Cary Main office located at 100 West Chatham Street in down- town Cary. Trust Company of North Carolina has also opened a second location in Fidelity Bank’s Burling- ton office, at 2517 South Church Street. John H. Slayton and his team will be managing the Trust Company of North Carolina’s efforts. Mr. Slayton is a 35-year vet- eran fiduciary, tax, and in- vestment expert. Mary Willis, President and CEO of Fidelity Bank stated, “We are pleased to have John on our team and the new enhanced product of- ferings to meet our cus- tomer’s needs.” Mr. Slayton is excited about the opportunity. He said, “The solid 105 year history of Fidelity Bank and its conservative cul- ture will enable Trust Company of North Car- olina to be a premiere multi-family office man- ager for individuals seek- | ing pri- | vacy, I secu- rity, tia nd | quality per - sonal x service. John Slayton In addi- tion to our top-notch service, our investment offerings are more complete and robust than any that I have been involved with over the course of my career. “Individuals can no longer simply develop a ladder of stocks and bonds to hold indefinitely. In- vestors must be proactive, diligent, and sophisticated in their avoidance of undue risks. We are equipped to assist in at- taining a satisfying invest- ment and fiduciary experience for our cus- tomers.” Fidelity Bank is a full- service financial institution with assets of approxi- mately $1.6 billion head- quartered in Fuquay-Varina, North Car- olina. The Bank owns and operates 62 branches throughout North Carolina and Virginia; and was awarded a 5-star (superior) rating by BauerFinancial. Fidelity Bank has a local bank in Kings Moun- tain. The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com Wednesday, August 13, 2014 The Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting recenty at Mike's Great Finds new location in downtown Kings Mountain. Photo by Adria Hamrick New location for Mike’s Great Finds Mike’s Great Finds, a Kings Moun- tain consignment shop specializing in antiques and collectibles, has moved to a more central location where its owner says he gets more foot traffic and can offer better parking for his customers. In the process he’s expanded into fur- niture and home furnishings. Members of the Kings Mountain business community, the city and Cleveland County welcomed Mike’s Great Finds to its new location on Bat- tleground Ave. Thursday in a ribbon- cutting ceremony. “We've tripled the amount of space we have,” said owner Mike Weaver, re- ferring in part to a new furniture sec- tion, located where Kiser’s Minit Grill stood for more than a generation before closing in 2013. In the move from a N. Piedmont Ave. location, Weaver and partner Nicole Smith say they’ve almost elim- inated clothes from the store’s inven- tory, with the exception of a few vintage items. Since opening up their shop last year, the two have worked to drive business to specialty shops in Kings Mountain. Several months ago, Smith designed a senior discount program and got local merchants involved. Now they’re planning a scavenger hunt that encourages shoppers to visit downtown stores in search of specific items. Tentatively planned for the start of the school year, the plan is to collect a $1 each from local business owners to help build a jackpot for the winner. Also, businesses would kick in a $5 or $10 gift certificate to spur repeat busi- ness. To find out more about the scav- enger hunt, contact Weaver or Smith at (704) 466-7095. Weaver said he’s been a collector since he was a small child. He accom- panied his father to auctions and flea markets in search of the useful, valu- able or simply interesting. The habit stayed with him in his adult life, even- tually turning into a passion. Years ago the Maryland native turned that passion into a business, hunting for and collecting what inter- ested him and selling what others found interesting over the Internet. The store is brimming with almost every breed of antique and curiosity — from vintage cameras and 19th century swords to china, cutlery and odd sou- venirs and books from around the world. Weaver said last year that the store is a natural and needed extension of his growing warehouse and online busi- ness. Like many collectors, Weaver says his house functions as his warehouse, adding that the items for sale in the store are just the tip of the iceberg. He says he’ll never stop “picking” — which is the art of hunting for treasures in un- likely or forgotten places, such as barn lofts or old bomb shelters. “I still have to take a day off pretty often just to get out there and see what I can find,” he said. “We love it.” ABE/GED ABE CLASS Adult High School/GED Lab Adult Basic Education (ABE) English as a Second Language ABE/Teach Me to Read Po it for YOU!
