Marshall H. Jones, the hustling Assistant Cashier of the
First & Citizens National Bank, was elected to the post of Cashier at the
directors meeting.
The promotion of Mr. Jones is quite in keeping with his
career. Tho only 30 years old he has by perseverance and application made good
since he started in college in 1911. After two years’ work in college he found
himself in need of money and applied for a position of assistant cashier at a
salary of $1,000 a year. In the meantime, he pursued his studies at Wake Forest
College, where he mastered five years’ work in four years and graduated in 1915
with A.B. and M.A. degrees to his credit.
In August 1918 he assumed the duties of Assistant Cashier of
the First & Citizens National Bank of this city and since the beginning of
that time has made himself a popular and efficient official.
Cecil F. Garrett, a native of Elizabeth City and a promising
young business man, was elected to fill the vacancy created by the promotion of
Mr. Jones. Mr. Garrett was formerly with the Norfolk-Southern Railroad which he
left about three years ago in order to take up the position of teller in the
Bank.
W.G. Gaither, a former Cashier, will assume the duties of
active Vice-President, after having been cashier for seven years. Under his
administration the bank has experienced the most rapid growth in its history.
Other officers elected at the directors’ meeting were C.H.
Robinson, president; Dr. L.S. Blades, vice-president; W.C. Glover,
vice-president; and M.R. Griffin, assistant cashier.
