HISTORICAL RAI-EIQH
The first business of his own in which Mr. Ball embarked was
a retail grocery, which he opened in 1891, and in which he met
with success. In 1898, with superior business acumen, fore¬
sight and commercial talent worthy of a more experienced mer¬
chant, he organized the J. G. Ball Company, the first jobbing
house for the sale of groceries to be established in Raleigh and
among the first in the State. The enterprise pointed to eminent
success before it was launched ; to-day, under the personal super¬
vision and active management of Mr. Ball, its president, it is in
the front rank of grocery jobbing houses in the State.
Endowed with a quick and discriminating intellect that has
been carefully and diligently cultivated, Mr. Ball is one of the
capital city's broadly educated sons. Concerning matters that
relate to the science of business, his opinions indicate research
and thought, and are always instructive as well as interesting.
In Raleigh’s financial circles Mr. Ball also takes high rank,
the organization of the Merchants National Bank here having
been promoted in part by him. He has been a director of this
institution since its organization, besides having other interests
to engage his attention.
In 1886 Mr. Ball was united in marriage to Miss Lavinia,
daughter of the late Joseph Kreth, of this city.
Religiously, Mr. Ball is an Episcopalian, being a communi¬
cant in the Church of the Good Shepherd. With the exception
of a brief interval, he has been a vestryman for a period of
twenty-five years.

A conspicuous example of success attained by sticking to one
thing from first to last is seen in the career of Needham Bryant
Broughton, of Raleigh. While this is undeniably true, it is a
striking fact that in the midst of a busy life of business affairs
he has found time to devote to a multitude of matters in which
the welfare of others was concerned. It is worthy of note that,
while he has made a name that is a household word in North
Carolina as the head of an industrial business that is in the lead
