George signs a sales slip for a railroader in the family-run hardware store S.W. George &amp; Co. at 302 W. Potomac Street, circa 1960. He was a moving force in the growth of Brunswick from the 1890s to the 1960s.<br /> <br /> Mr. George was a farmer, property developer, independent businessman and banker. He lived vigorously until his death in 1962 at age 87, rising early to check on a farm he owned off Route 180 in Petersville and supervise farmhands for the day&#039;s work. By 7am, Mr. George was present in the family hardware and appliance store on Potomac Street, greeting customers with a smile. He later looked in on the People&#039;s National Bank down the street to stay in touch with the business, and as President of the bank, was known for never having missed a Board of Directors meeting.<br /> <br /> (Photo courtesy of the George family)}}<br /> |date=2023-07-14<br /> |source=George Family<br /> |author=Family photo for 1960 Blade-Times article <br /> |permission=<br /> |other versions=<br /> }}<br /> <br /> =={{int:license-header}}==<br /> {{subst:uwl}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Smoketown Businesses]]</div>
