For Jeff; bm. stands for bondsman. The groom had to put up a bond when he got
a marriage license. Most grooms were young and had no money or property so a
relative or trusting friend would pay the bond. If the groom got cold feet the
bride got the bond as compensation, less a few administrative fees. Always check
to see if the bm. was a relative.

Company, having its main plant in Faison. ... The Cates Pickle Company
started in a small way under the firm name of Charles F. Cates & Sons,
Inc. The business had its beginning on a Quaker farm near Graham in
Alamance County, NC in 1898, when Charles F. Cates, who was a traveling
salesman for a grocery house, conceived the idea of selling pickles, and
on one of his trips home suggested that they plant an acre in cucumbers.
...
Charles F. Cates, founder and promoter of the business, was married
in 1905 and removed to Mebane, NC. His son, A.P. Cates, is now general
manager, with Henry Roy Cates....
