INTRODUCTORY. ¡
It is with pleasure we are enabled to place before our readers, and the public, our first Directory for the City of Greensboro. Our work contains an alphabetical list of the adult population, a classified Business Directory, and a miscellaneous compilation of the civil authorites, courts, churches, societies, &c.
A Directory is a work the most prone of all to errors, from the fact that information is received from all sources, and in many cases given in a manner calculated to mislead, but we believe the present volume will be found entirely free of errors that will in any way detract from the value of this book.
We have endeavored to make our work thorough in every de- partment, and we extend our thanks to our patrons and the citizens who so kindly aided us by their courtesies, reception and liberality. May Greensboro continue to grow and prosper, and her citizens be blessed with happiness and fortune's choicest gifts.
Respectfully, STONE & KENDALL,

GREENSBORO.
The Gate City of the South.
IT IS SITUATED IN THE BEST FRUIT CLIMATE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA.
Greensboro, the capital of Guilford county, founded in 1808, and the most important city of the Piedmont section of North Carolina, has a population of 9,500. It is most favorably situated, being at the junction of the Richmond & Danville, the North Carolina, the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley, and the Northwestern North Carolina Railroads, with their branches. It has an elevation of nine hun- dred feet above the sea level, and a genial and healthful climate. Railroads extend from it in eight different directions, and several new roads are projected. Numerous feeders are being constructed, connecting important points with lines now centering at Greensboro. The Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railway has been extended to Wilmington, and when complete in its Northwestern extension will bring the Pocahontas coal fields within a short distance, and place the coke and coal of that famous region in the Greensboro market at a very low figure, and will give us direct communication with Cincinnati, Chicago and the entire Northwest.
Moreover, Greensboro is the point of intersection of the two great trunk lines-the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railway leading from Wilmington, on the sea-coast, to the Ohio Valley and the North- west, and the Richmond & Danville Railroad, the main line from New York to New Orleans.
Fifty miles south of Greensboro, on the C. F. & Y. V. Railway, are the Deep River coal fields ; while about thirty miles north are the Dan River coal fields. Coal is now being delivered here for $3 per ton, and offered for less on large contracts.
One of the most remarkable ranges of iron ore in the State crosses Guilford county in a northeast and southwest direction, about ten miles northwest of Greensboro.

APPENDIX.
Greensboro is a desirable place of residence. The population is orderly, thrifty and energetic, genial and hospitable. It has great natural and artificial attractions. Beautiful residences, a profusion of shrubbery and flowers, and well shaded streets and avenues greet the eye. Greensboro is appropriately called "The City of Flowers."
There are fifteen churches, four graded schools (two for each race), a large female college, and a seminary for the education of colored teachers. It is also the seat of the White Girls' Normal and Indus- trial School, and the Colored A. and M. College. The people are noted for the interest which they manifest in education and in schools. A handsome graded school building has recently been erected, being one of the largest in the State. The city is lighted with gas and electricity, and has an efficient system of water-works, electric fire-alarm, and a finely organized Fire Department.
An appropriation of $100,000 was made to provide a system of sewerage and to pave the streets, which improvements have been completed. The United States has erected a handsome postoffice and court building, at a cost of $70,000, and the county court house is one of the finest public edifices in North Carolina. There are here two of the largest and best kept hotels in the State, besides two smaller hotels and a large number of excellent boarding-houses.
There are four banks, all in a prosperous condition, and four newspapers-two of them daily.
There are upwards of one hundred business houses, in addition to foundries, machine shops, large tobacco factories, lumber mills, sash and blind, spoke and handle, and furniture factories, cotton mills, hosiery mills, wagon and carriage manufactories, etc., etc., all of which do an annual business of over $14,000,000.
Immediately north of Greensboro and again to the east is the yellow tobacco belt, which grows the finest quality of tobacco in the world. The tobacco trade of Greensboro is growing with wonderful rapidity. Already its warehouses are selling tobacco from the twelve counties of Guilford, Forsyth, Stokes, Surry, Davie, David- son, Randolph, Chatham, Orange, Alamance, Caswell and Rocking- ham, besides large and frequent shipments to them from Tennessee and Virginia.
The fruit and vegetable shipments, fresh, dried and canned, are immense. In the season solid vegetable trains daily run to the Northern markets; while of dried apples alone one firm shipped forty car loads in one season.
Not far South, and within easy reach for commercial use, are the cotton fields, which extend to South Carolina. To the southeast
11
APPENDIX.
are the pine forests which furnish turpentine and rosin, and supe- rior lumber for building and manufacturing purposes.
Greensboro is within easy reach of all kinds of forest trees used in the different arts, and for all commercial purposes. The spokes, hubs, handles and rims manufactured at Greensboro have given a reputation to the oak and hickory of this region for such purposes, equal, if not surpassing any in the world. The white hickory in Guilford and surrounding counties, for weight, strength, tenacity, and susceptibility to fine polish, is pronounced by experts to be superior to any in the world.
Guilford county is well adapted to the cereals, grasses, vegetables, and fruits ; the latter especially, growing in almost every variety and to the greatest perfection.
Fruits of all kinds-such as apples, peaches, pears, quinces, grapes, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries, strawberries and melons grow in richness and perfection, unsurpassed in any latitude outside the tropics. Greensboro is the centre of the largest Nursery interests in the South, one Nurseryman alone having now on hand over 1,000,000 trees.
North Carolina is the largest gold producing State east of the Rocky Mountains. In Guilford and adjacent counties there are seventy-five mines. Copper mines have been profitably worked in the same territory. The largest bed of Kaolin in the State is a few miles south of Greensboro.
Upwards of thirty large cotton factories are now in operation within a radius of forty miles of the city. A granite quarry of fine quality has just been opened in the suburbs.
The North Carolina Steel and Iron Company, managed by the most prominent business men of the State, with a capital of one million dollars, is located in the northern suburbs of the city. One blast furnace has been erected, and the plant will be in active ope- ration by July, 1892. The amount already expended upon the plant exceeds $150,000-with a working capital of $50,000. The output will be 100 tons of pig iron per day, worth at present prices $1,000. This is now adding largely to the population as well as the business activity of our city, and insures the utilization of the in- exhaustible supply of ores lying in our vicinity.
Greensboro must necessarily become a great manufacturing cen - tre, as the raw material of all kinds is near at hand, the facilities for shipment excellent, and the local demand large and rapidly in- creasing.
Statistics prepared by the North Carolina Steel and Iron Com- pany show that there are 275 industries represented here, with an aggregate local capital of $7,134,317.30 actually employed.
12
APPENDIX.
The amount of the annual business of the postoffice at Greens- boro foots up $10,127.00 and 671,788 pieces of mail matter, weigh- ing 44,066 pounds, were handled last year. This makes Greens- boro a free delivery office, which was established in 1890.
To show the amount of railroad business done here now, some estimate can be arrived at from the number of arrivals and depar- tures of trains daily, on the six railroads centering here. Passen- ger trains, daily, 25, pulling 168 cars. Freight trains, daily, 30, pulling 703 cars.
The United States Circuit and District Courts are held in Greens- boro, as well as the Superior Courts of the State. It is the residence of the U. S. District Judge, Marshal and Master in Chancery, as well as the headquarters of the Internal Revenue Agent having charge of the States of North and South Carolina and Virginia and is the site of the State Keeley Institute.
Guilford county has no debt, bonded or otherwise, and the taxes are very low. The present price of farming land varies from six to twenty-five dollars an acre.
The climate is delightful, being free alike from extremes of heat and cold, while its position near the foot of the Blue Ridge, protects it from the cyclones so prevalant in the Mississippi valley and the northwest. In addition to the other unparalelled advantage it offers to the seekers after health or pleasure, there are several fine mineral springs within the city limits.
The colored people, who comprise less than a third of the popu- lation of our county, are honest, thrifty and industrious ; and we have never had any race conflicts or antagonisms.
In spite of its rapid growth, real estate in Greensboro is lower in price than perhaps any city of its size in the South. This is chiefly due to its favorable situation, which admits of almost in- definite expansion; but it cannot long remain so, as the rapid influx of population and outside capital will soon cause a great increase in the value of all kinds of property.
There is no better opening anywhere for rolling mills, car works, wheel and axle works, bridge works, pipe foundries, flour mills, wagon, carriage and furniture factories, and other manutacturing enterprises. Encouragement will be given to all such enterpries lo- cating here.
One peculiar advantage possessed by the City of Greensboro is that its available land is not owned or controlled by any one set of men. In addition to private holders, there are eignt distinct cor- porations owning valuable lands in different parts of the city, which they offer on the most favorable terms.
Within five miles of the city is the celebrated Guilford Battle-
13
APPENDIX.
Ground, where was the last decisive battle of the revolutionary war, fought March 15, 1781. It is now one of the prettiest parks in the South.
Any other information desired will be cheerfully given by the officers and members of the Chamber of Commerce.
