ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA "The Land of the Sky"
PREFACE
The publishers take pleasure in presenting this, the 1923 edition of the Asheville, N. C. city directory, feeling confident that it will meet the ap- proval and needs of the community. The volume will be found to be as com- plete and comprehensive as any work of its kind published. It represents an active, growing, progressive city, whose people have set out to accomplish great things and the progress of the city is the result of the energy and enthusiasm of its inhabitants. . .
A careful survey of the past year shows Asheville to be one of the most active industrial cities in Western Carolina. Every industry has been work- ing to capacity, turning out Homespun, Mica, Coffins and Caskets, Furni- ture, Machinery, Creamery Products, Leather, Sheet Metal and many other products. Despite the conditions under which every city in the United States has been placed in the year 1922, Asheville has forged ahead in her usual manner. Shipping delays, shortage of materials, limited supply of gas and coal were some of the difficulties which every industry faced. Nevertheless, Asheville's products continued their journey throughout the world. Among other additions to her commercial life is that of one more National Bank, which makes two National and a grand total of nine banks within reach of it's citizens and to serve her business and private life.
Asheville citizens generally are thrifty and own their own homes. The diversity of her industries, good working conditions, and the additional capi- tal which is being constantly added, places Asheville manufacturers in posi- tion to secure plenty of skilled workmen. While Asheville is known mostly for her wonderful ideal climate and azure skies, yet her many other per- manent industries cause a prosperous state of affairs to exist at all times.
The directory, as in past editions, show many changes, which are par- ticularly obvious in the street or householders department, where the names are grouped according to location.
The directory is a story of the people. It lists all the people, rich and poor alike, tells who they are, what they do, where they live. The directory is a permanent history and the old directories form a complete record of the city, it's changes and progress.
Thru the publishers' membership in the Association of North American Directory Publishers, directories of the leading cities of America are kept in it's library in Asheville for the use of it's patrons and the public. Copies of the Asheville directory are sent to the principal cities of the United States and Canada; thus the directory represents Asheville throuout the country and is a constant booster for the city. Directory advertisers are thus accessable to all the buyers of America who must consult the classified lists of the directory to purchase any commodity intelligently. Nothing ad- vertises a community like it's city directory and it is true in many cases that a city is judged by it's Directory.
In conclusion we wish to thank those who by their patronage has made it possible for us to publish this work and to those who so graciously extended their help by furnishing our name gatherers and compilers with the necessary information.
It has been customary for the directory publishers to estimate the popu- lation and this directory shows Asheville and it's immediate suburbs to be
42,300.
