Talk:Mt. Olive Pickle Company

Untitled
George Moore was first op. manager, and Shickrey Baddour was first salesman. My grandfather, Headley Morris Cox Sr. was the first president. Mr Shickrey Baddour invested $2500 in the new venture, H.M. Cox invested $2000, both in 1926. A number of other Mt Olive and Goldsboro families invested lesser amts. They are Martins, Witheringtons, Wilkins, etc, and they and their progeny are still substantial shareholders, for the most part. Mr. Shickrey and my Grandfather were the biggest investors. The company is also the 2nd largest distributor of pickle products in the US. Mt Olive Pickle has provided Mt Olive with a corporate producer in eastern NC that has employed thousands of workers, and created non stop demand for cucumber and vegetables produce from the region around Mt. Olive. Reference: Mt Olive Tribune news paper, which includes list of charter stockholders. William Frank Gage Wilmington NC
