INTRODUCTION
-
Baldwin Directory Company, Inc., publisher of your city directory, takes pleasure in presenting the 1936 edition to the general public. A large force of trained enumerators and solicitors worked diligently in the preparation of this volume and we are confident that the result is an authentic and useful city directory.
We have faith in the continued growth of your city and we believe that our directory will take its place as one of the vital instruments for the advancement of the community. Sub- sequent editions will be issued promptly and regularly.
CHARLESTON South Carolina CITY DIRECTORY 1936
This volume is an example of the ABCD type of city directory as originated and developed by the Baldwin Directory Company, Inc. In the modern business world with its greatly changed sales and credit systems, the old type of directory has become com- pletely obsolete. In adapting the direc- tory to modern conditions the Baldwin organization is the pioneer. The excellent city directory which your city now has is the result of the pro- gressive spirit of this company and its accurate interpretation of modern busi- ness requirements.
SEVEN DIVISIONS OF THE BOOK
The principal parts of the Baldwin Directory are as follows:
1. The Miscellaneous Directory contains a great deal of useful infor- mation concerning the national, state and local governments. In it are listed the names of members of congress and the state legislature, city and county officials.
2. The Buyers' Guide, Civic Section and Professional Blue Book is made up of the advertisements of the leading business firms of the city, announcements of churches, clubs, lodges, associations and schools, and professional card of public-spirited lawyers, physicians and dentists The display spaces have been carefully grouped and indexed under headings which are descriptive of the business engaged in by each firm. The Buyers' Guide, when properly arranged and distributed, is of tremendous value in the building of business in the community.
INTRODUCTION
3. The Resident Directory contains most of the data concerning the individual. The wife's name is given in parentheses, and the number of dependents under 16 is shown as well as the ownership of homes. This is followed by position, place of employment and home address.
.4. The Householders' Directory contains a complete directory of streets and avenues, properly located, gives the names of all householders arranged as they come upon the streets and avenues, indicates ownership of property.
5. The Business Directory and List of Nationally Advertised Brands contains the names of all business firms, professional people and non-profit organizations, properly classified. In this division are also listed the names of nationally advertised brands of merchandise, with the name of the local agents and distributors.
6. The Numerical Telephone Directory contains telephone numbers arranged in numerical sequence.
7. The Rural Routes Directory, which follows the Numerical Tele- phone Directory, is used constantly in reaching rural residents with adver- tising matter and other mail.
SPECIAL ABCD FEATURES
The following valuable information which appears in the ABCD type of directory is not to be found in the old-style city directory.
Number of dependents under 16;
Designation of home ownership.
Telephone Numbers on Street Guide.
Numerical Telephone Directory.
Nationally Advertised Brands.
In addition to these valuable features, the ABCD type of directory is more conservatively styled, printed on better paper and more beautifully bound arranged for more convenient use and contains a much more' complete civic section. Directory stands are maintained in the business district for the use of the general public.
THE HOUSEHOLDERS' SUPPLEMENT
After including every conceivable feature which would tend to make the directory as useful and attractive as possible, the originators of the ABCD type of directory made one more bold stroke - they established a guaranteed home circulation for all advertising matter by issuing the Householders' Supplement and delivering it to the homes of the com- munity. Every advertisement which appears in a Baldwin directory also appears in the Householders' Supplement, making the Baldwin Directory "America's greatest dollar-for-dollar advertising medium" today.

NORTH CAROLINA
"THE ORIGINAL WASHINGTON" Founded in 1776
Washington, the county seat of Beaufort County, is located at the junction of the Pamlico and Tar Rivers, 40 miles from Pamlico Sound and 100 miles from the Atlantic seacoast, on Atlantic Coastal Highway (U. S. No. 17)-Maine to Florida; U. S. No. 264-East and West, and N. C. Highways Nos. 33, 91, 92 and 99.
PAUL100 RIVER BRIDGE, WASHINGTON, N. C .- 2
Pamlico River Bridge
The settlement out of which grew Washington dates back to 1771 and on November 30, 1771, James Bonner, founder of the town, presented a bill to Congress held at Hillsboro for having a town established on his plantation. This town was called the "Forks of Tar River."
It is uncertain just how soon after General Washington took charge of the Continental Army that Col. Bonner gave his name to the town which he had founded, but it is believed that it was late in 1775 or early in 1776. The first mention we find of the town going by the name of Wash- ington is dated Monday, October 21, 1776. It is an order from the Council of Safety at Halifax, and reads "That Captain John Forrester, Com- mander of the armed-brig 'General Washington' now lying at the port of Washington, proceed with all possible haste to Ocracoke Bar."
The first deed for a lot in the town of Washington was dated Decem- ber 23, 1776, and is recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds of Beaufort County in Book IV, page 523.
Washington was incorporated by the General Assembly meeting at Hillsboro on April 13, 1782.
On our Post Office is a tablet reading: "To commemorate the first Post Office named 'Washington' in the United States, established A. D. 1789, in Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina. The first town
10
WASHINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA
named Washington in the United States, December, 1776." This tablet was placed there by the Daughters of the American Revolution, after having been fully investigated by the Post Office Department.
ACCESSIBILITY
Washington is served by the Norfolk-Southern and Atlantic Coast Line Railroads and five bus lines. A large river harbor connects with the Inland Waterway Canal. Here the Norfolk, Baltimore and Carolina Line offers the whole of Eastern Carolina a splendid shipping service at low rates. The N. B. C. Motor Line with several other truck lines serves the entire state. The 12-foot channel enables large boats and bay barges loaded to full capacity to dock here. A large quantity of the lumber manufactured here is shipped by barge to Baltimore, New York and Philadelphia.
Population of Washington and suburbs is 9,781.
CLIMATE
Mean annual temperature is 64 degrees.
Elevation is 12 feet.
A pleasant year around climate.
CITY GOVERNMENT
The city of Washington has the Mayor-Alderman form of govern-
ment. It has municipally-owned water and light plants and sewage dis- posal system. Gas plant privately owned by Tide Water Power Company. Washington has a tax rate of $1.00 per $100.00 valuation. The assessed valuation, city, over $5,000,000; real estate assessed approxi- mately 60 per cent of cash value.
The financial affairs of the city are in excellent condition, being one of the few towns in North Carolina meeting its bond maturities promptly when due through all the depression, and all obligations are current to date.

James Bonner about the year 1776 "for the public use of the said Township for building a church on." This building was used by the Methodists, Presbyterians and Baptists.
The First Presbyterian Church was founded in 1823.

BEAUFORT COUNTY
Prior to 1696 this region was called Pampticough from the pre- historic Indian tribe found here by the first white settlers. In 1696 it was known as the County of Archdale. In the same year the great County of Bath was created in the place of Archdale, and so remained until 1741, when its name was changed to Beaufort in honor of Henry, Duke of Beaufort, one of the Lord Proprietors.
Beaufort County has an area of 819 square miles and a population of over 35,000, with an approximate land area of 537,000 acres. There are over 3,500 farms under cultivation, according to United States Govern- ment surveys.
The county is primarily agrarian. Corn, the king of crops, leading by about 10,000 acres the next crop-soybeans, while tobacco rates third place in the number of acres planted. The estimated corn acreage is 40,000; soybeans 30,000 acres, 10,000 of which are planted solid; while 20,000 are interplanted, usually with corn; approximately 12,000 acres of tobacco; 10,000 acres Irish potatoes; cotton 6,000; truck and sweet pota- toes, 2,000 acres each.

Bayview
Bayview, on Pamlico River, 20 miles below Washington on U. S. highway No. 264 and N. C. No. 92, is a year 'round resort-bathing, boating, fishing, hunting. Extensive improvements are being made by the new owners (experienced hotel men), which include: Complete re- modelling of the hotel, reworking of streets, renovation of bowling alley, installation of concessions, and games for entertainment. A beach club is planned; a flotilla of boats for hire. There are private cottages in connection with the hotel for rent.
Bath, the first capital of North Carolina, originally the Indian town of Pampticough, was settled by white men about 1690 and incor- porated in 1705. It is the oldest town in North Carolina. Sixteen miles below Washington on U. S. highway No. 264. St. Thomas Episcopal Church built there in 1734 with brick brought from England, contains many ancient relics given by the royalty of England. It is the oldest church in the state. In Bath, in 1700, was founded the first public library in the colony. There are buildings 200 years old, and chimneys in Bath that still bear the imprint of bullets that were fired by beseiging Indians. There are old tombstones erected in the 18th century.

"THE ORIGINAL WASHINGTON"
ST. THOMAS CHURCH, BATH. G. C.
St. Thomas Church
No history of the town would be complete without mentioning the name of a man who has always been linked with it. In 1718, Edward Teach, or Thach, better known as "Blackbeard," took up his abode in Bath. While there he married his 13th wife. Teach was beheaded near Ocracoke Inlet on November 22, 1718, by an expedition sent out from Virginia. There is a legend that the headless body thrice incircled the ship before it sank and the place it went down is known as "Teach's Hole."
Broad Acre Farms, at Terra Ceia, the famous bulb growing section, is 22 miles east of Washington. This is a Dutch settlement. Mr. H. Van Dorp, manager, owns several hundred acres while the company owns about 1,500 acres. Fifty acres or more are planted in tulips, daffodils, iris, gladioli and peonies, the balance in diversified farming. Thousands of dozens of these cut flowers are shipped in carload lots to Northern markets, also large quantities of bulbs are shipped all over the country. A large cold storage plant was installed a few years ago which is used to prepare bulbs so that flowers can be marketed during the winter. During the spring and summer flowers are pre-cooled by this method and arrive in Northern markets in better condition and command the higher prices.
