This image shows a brand new car being awarded to Mrs. Lou Hopkins by the Boone Merchants Assocation on January 16, 1953. An article featuring a cropped version of this image ran in the January 22, 1953, issue of the Watauga Democrat. The caption for the image read, "The Winner! -- Mrs. Lou Hopkins, of 204 Pine Street, smiles happily as the 1952 Chevrolet sedan is presented to her by Merchants Association President J. V. Caudill. The automobile was the grand prize offered by the Association in the Christmas trade promotion program. Pictured are, left to right, W. H. Gragg, master of ceremonies at the drawing, Mr. Caudill, Mrs. Hopkins, Joe E. Coleman of the Mountain Burley Warehouse Co., and Alfred T. Adams, Cashier of the Northwestern Bank. Photo by Palmer's Photo Shop." Gragg is the stout man with the black banded hat just left of the car door. Adams is at far right.
