Four Oaks Bank has been celebrating its centennial this year with various events throughout the year to mark the milestone.

Part of the bank's celebration is a traveling historical exhibit, which will be on display in each of the branch locations during this year. The exhibit will be on display in the bank's Southern Pines office at 105 Commerce Ave. until Friday.

The exhibit includes many artifacts from the bank, including the original deposit ledger begun on June 1, 1912, and the original bank seal used on the first stock certificates issued by the bank. It also features an early coin dispenser and many other items of interest.

Also on display will be reproductions of many important documents, including the original application for incorporation, the certificate of incorporation from the N.C. Secretary of State's office, and one of the first stock certificates, which was issued to the bank's original cashier.

"We hope that our customers and neighbors will enjoy this display of items from our origin a century ago," said Ayden R. Lee Jr., president and CEO of Four Oaks Bank. "We are proud of our heritage and look forward to celebrating our first 100 years with our customers and our neighbors."
