LARGE COMPANY WILL
OPEN in HIGH POINT

GEORGE / PENNY, J. L. ARMF1ELn ANT
ID. Z. McRAE AND OTHERS IN FIRST
NATIONAL TRUST Co To HANDLE
REAL ESTATE.
The following has been given OH,
by those concerned:
| George I Penny, j. L. Armfield
and D. c. McRae and others have
just been granted a charter under
the name of the First National Trust
company for the purpose of dealing
IN real estate, loans, stocks and
bonds on a very large scale. The
! authorized capital stock of this COM
pany is 100000, every dollar of the
stock was offered for sale and readilv
subscribed for and paid in. Some
OF the south's largest capitalists are
interested in this company, and the
intent Of this company is to develop
large tracts of lands throughout the
south.
The first work along this line will
start near High Point-the company
having purchased the late j. W.
Guyer farm, containing about $50
acres, located two and half miles
from the city. This farm will be
sub-divided into small tracts, nice
comfortable bungalows and out
buildings built on each tract, to-
gether with modern up-to-date to-
baccO barns. and each will be sold
on very, very easy terms. The idea
is to encourage tobacco raising in
this Immediate section. The COM
pany has also purchased a part of
the Gordon farm and part of the
Carter Mill tract, and are negotiating
for one of the largest undeveloped
tracts of land in Guilford county.
With the financial strength of this
company it is a well known fact
that it will fill long felt want and
do much toward pushing forward
the rapid growth of High Point and
vicinity, as well as other points
throughout the south.
George T. Penny, of this city, one
of the largest real estate dealers in
in the south, has accepted the Of
flee of president and general mana
ger Of this company. and with the.
| support of other officers Of the COM
pany, who will be composed of some
of the states best business men,
there is no doubt but what the COM
pany will be one of the most sue
cessful. The home Office will be in
the city of High Point.
