“Many Attend Formal Opening Carolina-Willys Light Co.” from the April
5, 1926 issue of The Robesonian,
Lumberton, N.C.
A continuous stream of lovers of electric goods and modern
scientific wares called at the Salceby building on North Elm Street Friday
evening between 7:30 and 11 o’clock, the occasion being the formal opening of
the Lumberton branch of Carolina –Willys Light Co.
“The Brightest Spot in Town” slogan adopted by Mr. R.C.
McDonald, manager of the branch office, is very appropriate. Delicious hot
waffles, cooked on an electric griddle by Miss Karen Fladbes, who conducted a
cooking class here during the week, were served with hot coffee prepared in an
electric percolator.
Assisting in the opening of the new business house here were
Mr. H.G. Gibson, secretary-treasurer of the company, from Laurinburg, and Mr.
W.M. Perry, president of the Berry-Mann Electrical co. of Columbia, S.C. Mr.
Gibson was exceptionally well pleased with the response made by Lumberton
people to invitations to attend the informal get-together affair.
