E. SPENCER Engelhard has one of the best chances of developing into a pro gressive town of any small com munity.in coastal North Carolina, thinks R. L. Patrick, dealer for Standard Oil. The greatest need of the community for further de velopment as seen by Mr. Patrick is an airport. With its banK, power plant, farm produce market, and harbor facilities, Engelhard already has the neuclus for a town. This could be greatly increased and improved by further developing its fishing and tourist business. Mr. Patrick visions airplanes taking fresh fish to distant mar kets with resulting better prices. He sees residents of Richmond, Wheeling and other inland cities of the continent eating Engelhard fish for breakfast the next morn ing after they come from the nets, less than 24 hours after they are taken from the waters of Pamli co Sound. Besides this, he sees Engelhard fish being hauled to Eastern North Carolina markets already dressed and sold in the best groc ery stores. The Engelhard mart states that few towns up-state have a decent fish market that women shoppers can cater to. The 'products if put into the modern 'groceries and food markets would sell much better and bring a much better price.
