Abstract:

Grifton’s population grew four fold from 1950-1960, with Kinston’s DuPont plant as the recognized factor. In the shadow of an industrial giant, a family owned business can be easily invisible. An exception was Cox’s Trailers. Location was an obvious factor, but offering quality service and products played just as much a role in its local popularity the past four decades.
