Myers Buys Franchise Rights To Hardi-Garden The franchise rights to estab lish 35 Hardi-Gardens centers in North and South Carolina have been purchased by a prominent Clinton man, according to an accouncement from Frank T. Mc- Coy, Jr., Board Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Fr ancis E. Galloway, President, of Hardi-Gardens, Inc., of Nashville Tennessee. The sale was to David R. Meyers. Meyers is general man ager of the E. L, Mansure divi sion of Joanna Western Mills Co- pany. He is secretary of the Gr eater Clinton PlanningCommiss- ion, Election Commissioner of Laurens County and a former di rector of Bailey Memorial Hos pital in Clinton. “We are very pleased about the possibilities for this dynamic op eration in our part of the coun try, * Meyers said. “The Hardi- Gardens concept is one which has a proven record in Nashville and 1 know will be well received wherever you find people with yards and gardens.’ “We recently announced the sale of franchises in the west coast states,” McCoy said, ’and this latest move will establish Hardi-Gardens centers on the east coast and go a long way to ward broadening the overall o- peration of our firm.” “This is another major step to ward our goal of 1,080 centers in the United States,’Galloway said. “We now have sold franchises for 350 Hardi-Gardens centers in 12 states. There are five company- owned centers in operation and sites for three others secured, here in Nashville; and negotia tions are underway for franchise sales in many other states.’ Meyers, McCoy and Galloway agreed, “More and more people are taking greater pride in the a ppearance of their homes and our aim is to meet their resultant needs. Simply noting the popula tion increase and the fact that Hardi-Gardens is the only national garden center fran chisor, all but assures our suc cess.’ A graduate of Clemson Uni versity, where he received a B.S. in Textile Engineering, Meyers won his M.s. in lextile Science from the Institute of Textile Technology in Charlottesville, Va., in 1958. He is a member of the All Saints Episcopal Church in Clinton and is a native of Bryn-Mawr, Penn. * * * RE-ELECTED — At the South Carolina District Exchange Club conven tion in Charleston, May 3rd, Hamid Power was re-elected District Di rector of D i s t r i c t 3 which consists of Clin ton, Laurens, Newberry, and Chester.
