Many of you will recognize the posted picture of Morrow Enterprises that was owned and operated by Benny Morrow as a very successful John Deere tractor dealership in Rutherfordton. I had the opportunity to meet and do a little business with him back in the day. What a great person he was! When Grady and I started on our business venture after our retirement, we somehow landed in Benny's old building. There is so much history with this property that we have determined goes back as far as 1949 in Rutherfordton (another story to come). When we took control of the building, Benny had unfortunately long passed and the building had sat empty for years. Grady's and my dream was to keep and retore as much as we could while also renovating the property to fit our business dreams. My hopes would be that we could be as successful as Benny in running a business here and that he would approve. We located several interesting items while doing our renovation- like finding initials in the old concrete floor from 1951, a newspaper from 1951, and a 1949 wheat penny inside the walls. The old penny was used as part of our renovations! We will keep a little mystery about it as to where the penny ended up, you’ll have to come check the place out and see if you can locate it! Please continue to follow us for more information of our grand opening soon! -Pat
