Hi, folks, have you purchased
your barbecue tickets yet?
No? Well why not? it is only
two weeks off. Saturday week is
the big day. Even the pigs donat
ing the hams to be barbequed
will enjoy this one. You know,
if a pig can donate two hams
toward the cause of the Forest
Park Volunteer Fire Department,
you could afford to contribute
SI.OO per plate.
Yes, folks, just one more Sat
urday then the following Satur
day, July 2nd is the big day.
Every fireman from the biggest
(Guess who> to the smallest will
be busy serving you. There are
plenty of tickets yet to be sold,
and your name is on each of
them. It would be very disap
pointing to miss you. Just donate
a dollar for each ticket you wish
to purchase, and we guarantee a
swell plate of delicious barbeque
in return. Should we give out of
supplies as we did last year, we
have a reserve supply to take
care of it. so don’t worry about

About Chief R. M. Butler, who
' has been directing the depart
ment for 11-12 years—he return
ed to Forest Park by popular de
man I of citizens and youngsters
who i ad learned to trust him.
Chief had gone away for a
couple of years to the County
[ force, as the result of some per
i sonality clash that looks pretty
' dim from this view, and every
; one, especially the young folks,
missed him.
Maybe the kids talked to their
folks and got through to them.
In any event, Chief Butler re
turned in the fine administra
tion of Mayor Bill Fleming, and
this time he didn't have to use
his own car, the city had one!
Now we have two. Boy, we're
really hitting the high road in
overdrive. We now have two new
additions to the force, and who
can tell—one of these days we
may even have enough money to
supply bullets for the boy's guns.
Any crooks among you who
may be reading this, don't believe
a word of it. All the boys are
pood shots, and the bullets th^y
use are real. However, it has
been quite a spell since a shot
has been fired by an officer In
Forest Park for the reason that
this has become, after a rowdy
era of long forgotten memory, a
law abiding town. Let’s keep it
that way.
We’re proud that Chief Butler
is on the job to look after our
welfare, and especially the
youngsters. They have a lot of
faith in Chief. He had two years
of policing in Hapeville before
coming to FP the first time.
J. B. Pulliam
Now 43 Years
'At the Bank'
BY JACK TROY
In the Friday July 13, 1928,
issue of The Clayton County
News and Farmer there were
published bunk statements of
Lovejoy Banking Company, Bans
of Ellenwood, Bank of Rex, and
Bank of Jonesboro.
Ths only one left today, as you
know, is the Bank of Jonesboro—
the only bank in Clayton Coun
ty. The Bank of Rex is still in
existence, you might say, as it
was consolidated by Walter Estes,
Rex, with the Southside Bank of
Atlanta.
When depression days came
along and FDR declared the fa
mous banking holiday and was
given credit for saving the Amer
ican banking system, back-door
banking was continued by highly
respected J. B. Pulliam, vice pres
ident now, but then an em
ployee instead of an officer.
Bank of Jonesboro wasn’t open,
but any customer could get a
small amount of money for the
asking.
For, you see, J. B. Pulliam, now
in his 43rd year (he’ll start on
his 44th year July 22, 1955) is a
banker with a heart. It may not
have been exactly what FDR had
in mind, but Pulliam wasn’t
going to let any of the customers
stand in need of a little ready
cash.
Mr. Pulliam was elected cashier
Aug. 1, 1912, and he was not
elected vice president until 1953.
I’ll tell you what kind of a
banker he really was—
When he first came to Bank
of Jonesboro in 1912, for sev
eral years—from June to Sep
tember—it was a one man bank.
J. B. Pulliam was everything roll
ed into one. A. C. Blalock was
president and his niece, Miss
Elizabeth Blalock, was assistant
cashier and taught school. Her
uncle told her not to wear her
self out in the bank in the sum
mer time. One-Man bank, and
in 1928 the assets were $244,-

Today Bank of Jonesboro has
total assets of $1,798,821.13 in a
1 rospering County Seat of about
2,500 people, and serves the en
tire county of Clayton in an
admirable fashion.
Officers are C. S. Conklin, for
25 years with First National
Bank. Atlanta, Chairman of the
Board; J. O. Hightower, pres
ident; D. H. Dickson, Vice Pres
ident; J. B. Pulliam, Vice Pres
ident, and V. H. Stevens, Cashier.
When the Federal Deposit In
surance Corporation came into
existence in 1933, Bank of Jones
boro was one of the first to be
come affiliated with FDIC. That’s
the 10,000-buck deal guaran
teeing a customer’s money—that
is, up to 10,000.
In this most rapid growing
area in the State of Georgia,
Bank of Jonesboro—which popu
lar farm calendars out every
year—offers complete banking
services. You name it—they’ve
got it. And they’ve got J. B.
Pulliam too.

See that fine fat mountain yonder? " —
You can iron it out, flat as a flounder ... and
easy as whistling!
Just point one of Chevrolet’s special hill
flatteners at it (either the 162-h.p. “Turbo-Fire
V 8” or the 180-h.p. “Super Turbo-Fire”*) . . .
and pull the trigger!
Barr-r-r-r-o-o-O-O-OOM! ' x
Mister, you got you a flat'mountain!
... At least it feels flat. For these Chevrolet
VB’s gobble up the toughest grades you can
ladle out. And holler for more. They love to climb,
because that’s just about the only time the throttle
ever comes near the floorboard.
And that’s a pity. For here are engines that
sing as sweetly as a dynamo ... built to pour out
a torrent of pure, vibrationless power. Big-bore
VB’s with the shortest stroke in the industry, de
signed to gulp huge breaths of fresh air and trans
mute it into blazing acceleration.
So most of the time they loaf. Even at the
speed limit they just dream along, light and easy
as a zephyr, purring out an effortless fraction of
their strength.
An engineer instantly understands why these
VB’s are so hyper-efficient... how friction is held
so low they need just four quarts of oil instead of
the usual five or more ... how big valves let them
“breathe” deeply for maximum power.
But you don’t have to be an engineer to know
that these are the sweetest running VB’s you ever
piloted. Just come in, slip behind the wheel, and
point the nose at the nearest hill. These VB’s can
do their own talking ... and nobody argues
with them! •Optional at txtmaxt.
