New Fifth Street
Bank Here Plans
Saturday Opening

Keeping pace with The mos
modern trends in banking serv.
ce, the Waccamaw Bank arc
rust Company opens its new
nth Street Branch and move
"alk-up window Saturday aft
ernoon from 200 20 500 p. n
Ben Nesmith, Jr., vice presl-
lent of the Waccamaw Banks
said this week that the Satur-
DAY opening was strictly to give
friends and customers of tho
bank a chance 10 come in and
look over the new ard modern
facilities on Fifth Stree. That
branch does not plan to TO an
business Saturday, but will he i
the three hour Open House.
FaVorS will be passed out tc
men and women attending the
open House and children will
also be given favors when ac-
companied by an adult.
To further invite folks to at
tend the Open House, the bank
Is giving away a new 1866 model
!RCA Victor portable teIevisio,
to some lucky person registering
Saturday afternoon at the bank
There will be no obligation on
the part of anyone, just come in
and register and the winner will
not have to be present to win.
I'VE have been asked many
times why we have built this
new bank on Fifth Street." Mr..
Nesmith said.
TO explain the reasons why,
we must trace some of the Wac
camaw Bank history. In 1853
when the plans were made for
the present bank on Hickman
Street, we knew that we must
locate this bank where there
vas ample parking and adeou-
ate space for a drive-in window
~ 90 this, we naturally had to
get on the fringe of the business
district.
Now realizing the needs OF
our customers in other sections
of the town, we have put in
facilities that are more convent
ent for some people. We have
also installed a brand new inno-
walton for this section with a
Iwalk-up window that will en-
able customers TO use the banks
services quickly and easily.
We are proud of this new
loffice and invite our friends and
customers to visit with us Sat-
urday afternoon, and we are
trying to make it worth their
while by giving them favors and
prizes while they attend our
Open House. Mr.. NeSmith said.
The Waccamaw Bank came to
Tabor City in 1887 and has con-
.Stantly kept pace with the pro-
gresS of the town since that
time.
I'VE have endeavored TO keep
up with the demands of our Gus
toners in offering them the most
complete and most convenient
banking service that we know
how to offer. We are grateful
for the friendship and the privi-
lego to serve the number of peo-
pie that we do in Tabor City"
NeSmith said.
The portable TV set that will
be given away will be on dis
play at the walk-up window
throughout this week.
The main office of the bank
will close each day at loo p. NJ.
but the walk up window at the
Fifth Street bank will be open
until 800 p. NJ. daily except
Wednesday and Saturday.

OF 18th Annual Yam Festival

The 1859 Carolinas Yam Fes-
tival, 18th of the continuous

ter a three day and four night
stand that was constantly har-
raised by rain yet goes down in
the record as another successful
promotion.
Sponsored this year exclusive
ly by the Tabor City Junior
Chamber of Commerce, the fes-
tival appeared to have been well
organized and left no doubt in
the minds of the public that
!Jaycees had done an outstand-
ing job that required many
weeks Of effort.
There was reason to believe
that in spite of the almost con-
slant rain, that the festival fin
ancial picture would not be too
bad and that the Jaycees would
at least break even on the vent
ure.
/ The annual parade on Thurs
day afternoon was composed of

its rainfall until the last units
