L.C. Blades, Fighting Transfer of Dixie to Hartford, March 30, 1923

Dragged Into the Limelight

L.C. Blades

He is one of the most retiring and modest chaps in Elizabeth City, but he has been dragged into the limelight recently in the Dixie Insurance row. Mr. Blades is a member of the Executive Committee of the Dixie and joined with C.O. Robinson in the fight to prevent the transfer of the business of that healthy North Carolina Company to the Hartford, of Connecticut. Mr. Blades is treasurer of the Foreman-Blades Lumber Co., of this city, a director in the First & Citizens National Bank and is said to be the wealthiest young man in Elizabeth City.
