The town of Kenly now has one bank, known at the Bank of Kenly. Recently the Farmers Bank of that city has been merged into the Bank of Kenly, thereby making a stronger institution. The officers of the merged institutions are as follows: president, G.W. Whitson; vice-president, J.T. Edgerton; cashier, E.V. Neighbors. This is the second merging to take place in Johnston County in the last few months, the two Clayton banks having consolidated some time ago.
The officials of both Kenly banks, said a Kenly citizen, had but one object in view in the merging of the two banks, and that was to afford better banking facilities for the town and community. The resources of both together make it one of the strongest banks in that section.
The Bank of Kely was the first established in that town and has been serving that community for about 20 years. It has made a fine reputation among the people of that vicinity, and its depositors are numbered by the hundreds.
