“Leaves Rail Road for the Auto” from the July 23, 1920, issue of the
Elizabeth City Independent.
Elizabeth City gains and Hertford loses a valuable citizen
in C.W. Gaither who has come from Hertford to Elizabeth City to take the office
of secretary-treasurer of the Auto & Gas Engine Works, Inc., of which he is
a stockholder. Mr. Gaither is 42 years old and this is the second job he has
held in his life. He went to work for the Norfolk Southern R.R. at Hertford
when he was 12 years old and when he was 21 years old he was holding down the
agency for the company and doing the telegraph trick at that point. He had
become so identified with the Norfolk Southern that he might have remained a
fixture if his brother W.G. Gaither, cashier of the First & Citizens
National Bank of this city, hadn’t convinced him that Elizabeth City is a
better field for pep and perseverance of the Gaither variety. Mr. Gaither
entered upon his new duties last week and will remove his family to Elizabeth
City as soon as he can find a home for them. The Auto & Gas Engine Works
was recently incorporated and its officers under the incorporation are W.P.
Skinner, president; T.J. Jones, vice president; C.W. Gaither,
secretary-treasurer.
