INTRODUCTORY
I TT is with pleasure that we place before the public the 1936 directory of Champaign and Urbana, compiled for us and set in type, printed and bound complete in our own shop here in Champaign-Urbana. We trust that it will meet your approval.
Not only is the Directory a very necessary and indispen- sable work for local usage, but it is a valuable means of ex- tending throughout the country information concerning Champaign and Urbana, their advantages, resources and prospects, and it is a matter of more than ordinary im- portance to every individual that he be properly represented in this standard work of reference.
To gather the data and compile a volume of this charac- ter is no easy task. It requires much time, a well defined system, and incurs no little expense. Few people have any idea of the work it means and the tenacity it takes to publish a reliable directory.
In preparing this book the Publishers have spared neither time nor expense, and if errors occur or a single name is omitted which should appear in the book, it is generally the fault of the public and not the publishers, as every house is visited and it is not the publisher's or canvasser's fault if some one fails to give all the information or gives it incor- rectly. The intention of the publisher is always for improve- ment, and you can always count on getting as accurate a Directory as circumstances will permit.
We wish to thank our patrons who have made this book possible, and the people of both cities for their courtesy in giving information.
FLANIGAN-PEARSON COMPANY CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS

HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL SKETCH OF THE TWIN CITIES
CHAMPAIGN
The city of Champaign originated in 1854 when the Illinois Central Railroad built its main north and south line two miles west of the village of Urbana. A vil- lage started at the railroad and was in- corporated at that time as the village of West Urbana, its name was changed to Champaign in 1857. In 1860 the village of Champaign was incorporated as a city.
Champaign owes its growth to an act of the legislature in 1867 which awarded the University of Illinois to Champaign Coun- ty. The steady growth of the University has been reflected in the growth of Cham- paign. The original location of the Univer- sity was in Urbana adjacent to Cham- paign, but due to the expansion of the University, part of its grounds and build- ings are on property originally part of Champaign.
Champaign is served directly by the main line of the Illinois Central Railroad ; the Indianapolis-Peoria division of the C. C. C. and St. L. Railroad (Big Four) ; by the Wabash Railroad; by the Danville-St. Louis division of the Illinois Terminal Railroad (Electric) and Bus Lines includ- ing the Greyhound Lines to Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Peoria and other points.
Three state paved highway routes Num- bers 10, 25, and 39 converge in Champaign from all directions. These routes, and the many paved County highways radiating in all directions, together with excellent transportation facilities offered by rail and bus routes make this one of the leading downstate traffic centers.
Due to its location in a rich section of East Central Illinois and to the large stu- dent body which attends the University, Champaign has a large retail business. Its stores offer exceptional stocks of mer- chandise to customers who come from a wide area to trade here. The 1930 census of distribution shows Champaign-Urbana to be the seventh market in the State, with annual sales amounting to more than $24,- 000,000. Champaign stores do seventy-five percent of this business.
Champaign and Urbana are served jointly by all utilities and together have one of the finest sanitary districts and sewage disposal plants which has been widely copied by other cities.
With the Commission form of govern- ment, a motorized police department, and its fire department on the platoon system, Champaign is up-to-date and efficiently equipped to handle its city business.
The large stadium and the men's gym- nasium of the University being located in Champaign bring the thousands of people who attend athletic events at the Univer- sity directly to Champaign. The football games in the fall and the basket-ball games in the spring attract gigantic crowds from all sections of the state.
The diversified industries of Champaign manufacture road equipment, leather gloves, forgings, portable bleachers, im- pact registers, wrought iron fixtures, and machine shop products.
The Chamber of Commerce airport fur- nishes facilities for visitors to Champaign, Urbana and the University who travel by plane. This airport is Federally recog- nized as safe and properly equipped.

URBANA
When Champaign county was created in 1833, Urbana was founded as its county seat.
The name of the county and county seat were after similar county seat and city in Ohio. The name Urbana is derived from the word Urbanity. The county offices were established, the Court House erected and the business of the county has been conducted in Urbana from that time until this.
When the legislature of the state of Illi- nois decided to take advantage of the pro- visions of "The Morill Act" providing land grants for state institutions of higher learning by creating such a university for Illinois, the enterprising citizens of Urbana and Champaign county succeeded in per- manently locating it in Urbana.
The educational facilities in Urbana com- mence with the common schools, of which there are seven, include two modern high schools and concludes with the University of Illinois. The University campus and ad- jacent experiment fields consists of 2642 acres of land, with 90 buildings of the most modern character, while the enroll- ment for the year 1931-32 was 12,993 with

over 1161 professors and instructors, and a total staff of almost 2,300 people.
Urbana has won fame as a residential city. Perhaps there is no city anywhere having a larger per cent of college trained citizens. The per cent of illiteracy in Ur- bana is considerably less than one per cent, while 36 per cent of its residents of school age are enrolled in its two high schools. Furthermore, fully 85 per cent of the residents of Urbana are home owners.
Urbana, "the crossroads of the Corn Belt." has sixty miles of paved streets. All the streets are well lighted by a system of ornamental boulevard lighting standards. Sanitation is unsurpassed, while the water supply comes from numbers of deep wells.
Urbana with a population of approxi- mately 13.060, is also a city of parks. While the University campus may be considered one large park, Urbana has a park system of unusual attractiveness. The principal park of the system is Crystal Lake park, comprising some one hundred and ten acres of shrubs. oaks, grass and water made easily accessible by beautiful drives and walks. The clear water of the lake af- fords splendid boating in the summer and skating in the winter, while its pavilion, shelter house, modern play ground for children and an outdoor swimming pool attract visitors for many miles about. The other parks, while not so large, are very attractive.
In Urbana twenty churches guide the spiritual welfare of its citizens; the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Campfire Girls provide recreation and training for the children, while the Association of Com- merce, the Rotary Club, the Exchange Club and the various fraternal societies af- ford means for the practice of good-fel- lowship characteristic of Urbana's citizens.
Although Urbana is paramount in its civle interests it is also represented by sound commercial and industrial concerns. No city has more solid financial institu- tions than the banks and building and Ioan associations of Urbana, their aggre- gate statements reaching several millions of dollars. Its building and loan associa- tions are among the strongest in the country. Every branch of retail trade is represented among Urbana's stores, which provide for the wants of the community. Among the manufacturing enterprises in Urbana, are manufacturers of knock-down bleachers, butter and other dairy products,
discuses, javelins and other athletic aup- plies. electrical supplies, chemical supplies, paints. castings, dehorners, cigara, har- ness, ice cream, burial vaults, mauso- leums, high powered microscopic lenses, scientific instruments, waste reclaiming, X-ray apparatus, conerete ornaments for yard and home. Urbana is also the home of general laboratories, chief of which is the plant of the Urbana Laboratories, Inc., makers of seed cultures and many others.
In Urbana are located the shops of the Peoria and Eastern railway, a division of the New York Central Lines, which em- ploy the largest number of men in any single industry in the city.
Urbana possesses very adequate trans- portation facilities, including Peoria and Eastern Railway, giving services to the east and west: the branch line of the Wabash running to Sidney : while the Illi- nois Central affords frequent services to Chicago and the south. "A train your way every hour of the day" is provided by the Illinois Traction System, with accommo- dations cast and west, bus lines run to Chicago and St. Louis. Connections are made at Glover by trolley with the Chi- cago and Eastern Illinois railroad com- pany for Chicago and St. Louis and by bus with the main line of the Wabash for St. Louis and Detroit at Tolono. Three state paved highways and many paved county roads extend in all directions and bus service is given on all three state highways.
Among other points of interest in the "city of opportunity" besides the Univer- sity of Illinois Campus and its many at- tractions are, the Samuel T. Busey library, the Outlook Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Cun- ningham Home for children. Mercy Hog- pital, the Margaret Carle Memorial Hos- pital. One of the most up-to-date sanitary disposal plants in the country, a 110-acre, eighteen hole golf course and country club, the Wesley Foundation and the state and government experiment stations, and the Urbana park board's $100,000 outdoor swimming pool. "Illinois finest," and the $250,000 First Methodist Episcopal church.
An authority writes: "Urbana . . . home of the most important manufacturing plant in Illinois . . . that plant is the Uni- versity of Illinois. Its raw materials are youth and ambition. Its product is men and women."
URBANA AND CHAMPAIGN-THE HOME OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
The Home of the University of Illinois is one of the best known convention com- munities in Illinois. Because of the presence of the University of Illinois in this community, it is estimated that annually more than 150,000 visitors come here to attend conventions of district, state, national, and international importance.
