INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories (publishers of the Greensboro City Directory since 1903), present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1959 edition of the Greensboro City Directory, which also includes Guilford College.


Confidence in the growth of Greensboro's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Greensboro to the world.


The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the estimation of the public, has been es- tablished by rendering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Greensboro Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.


Four Major Departments


The four major departments are arranged in the following order :--


I. THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major department of the Directory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and professional concerns of the city and vi- cinity, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the city and vicinity. Preceding this catalog, likewise grouped under appropriate headings, are the adver- tisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to present a more complete list of their products or services than is possible in the catalog itself. The Yellow Pages represent reference ad- vertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or mar - kets for goods. In a progressive community like Greensboro, the necessity of having this kind of infor - mation up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common interme - diary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.


Il. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the second major department, printed on white paper. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Greensboro and Guilford College, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community.


III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, is the third major department, printed on green paper. In this section the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the desig- nation of tenant-owned homes and the listing of telephone numbers.


IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, is the fourth major department, followed by a separate section for Guilford College.


Community Publicity


The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as a manufacturing site and as an educational center. To broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reliable advertisements of Greensboro and vicinity.


The Greensboro Out-of-Town City Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Greensboro City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 700 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervi- sion the system is operated.


The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those progressive business and pro- fessional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

Greensboro, located in almost the geographical center of North Carolina, has long been a trans- portation focal point that in early years contributed much to the city's present size and position.


Because of its central location, Greensboro was placed on the main railroad lines and highways. And when airline facilities were being installed around the country in the 1920's, the city was included in the first north-south mainline service. These transportation facilities and its location were among the more important factors that have made Greensboro natural as an industrial and distribution site, both wholesale and retail.


In its early years, Greensboro became the home of several colleges and is now one of the educa - tional centers of the nation. This, of course, has contributed much to the cultural growth so that the city is a well-rounded, progressive community.


Greensboro, known as "The Insurance Center of the South," is the home of the world's leading textile manufacturers, is a leader in education, and is a location of one of the world's largest cigarette manufacturers, P. Lorillard Co.
