After a period of two years as membership secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Capt. N.L. Shaw has offered his resignation, effective April 1.
Captain Shaw, who is 72 years of age, has been active in his work of soliciting of new members for the city’s commercial organization and has been highly successful. Within recent months he has not been in the best of health and is now retiring from active business affairs.
He expects to live at the home of Rev. and Mrs. L.R. Pruett. Mrs. Pruett is his daughter.
In announcing his resignation, Captain Shaw spoke in the most complimentary terms of the co-operation and courtesies shown him by the business and professional men of the city with whom he has come in contact as he pursued his task for the Chamber of Commerce.
Two years ago, Captain Shaw sold out is mercantile interest in Drake’s Branch, Va., and came to Charlotte, becoming shortly elected to the membership secretaryship of the chamber of Commerce.
When a young student at the University of North Carolina, Captain Shaw enlisted as a private in the Confederate army. His service on the field of battle was so distinctive that he was promoted and was discharged with the rank of captain. He is an active member of the local camp of Confederate Veterans.
