• Bank of Granite in Granite Falls, NC, has posted consistently high profits despite avoiding the consolidation and growth strategies favored by many banks. The $508-million-asset bank has received high praise from the US Senate, investor Warren Buffett, and has been the subject of a CBS News story. John A. Forlines Jr., the bank's 79-year-old CEO, stresses the basics of banking, keeping costs down and pleasing customers.
