INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
HILL DIRECTORY COMPANY, publishers of Southeastern City Directories (publishers of the Asheville City Directory since 1899), presents to subscrib- ers and the general public, this, the 1963 edition of the Asheville City Direc- tory, which also includes Beverly Hills, Biltmore Forest (N. C.), Broadview Park, East Biltmore, Gentry Park, Lakeview Terrace, Linwood Park, Malvern Hills, Martel Mill Village, Morningside, Oakley, Oaklyn Park, Redwood Forest, Sayles Village, South Biltmore and Woodfin (N. C.).
Confidence in the growth of Asheville's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sec- tions of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly re- flecting Asheville to the world.
The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the estimation of the public, has been established by rendering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty co- operation 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 Asheville Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authen- tic information pertaining to the community
Four Major Departments
The four major departments are arranged in the following order :-
I. THE BUYERS' GUIDE constitutes the first major department of the Di- rectory, printed on yellow paper. In the first section of this department, grouped under appropriate headings, are included the advertisements and busi- ness cards of firms and individuals desiring to make a complete presentation of their products or services. Following this is the Classified Business sec- tion, which embraces a list of the names and addresses of all business and professional concerns of the community, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the community. The Buyers' Guide represents reference advertising at its best, and merits the at- tention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversified community like Asheville, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, indus- trial and professional world.
II. 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 sta- tus, occupation and address of each adult resident of Asheville, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the com- munity.
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 busi- ness concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the num- bers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective cross- ing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the listing of telephone numbers.
IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY is the fourth major de- partment, printed on blue paper.
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 resort, as a manufacturing site and as an educational center. To broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of
