INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1935 edition of the Burlington City Directory, which also includes Graham, Haw River and Elon College. This is the first Hill Directory of Burlington, and is completely standardized according to the policies and practices of the Association of North American Directory Publishers.
Confidence in the growth of Burlington's industry, pop- ulation and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Direc- tory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflect- ing Burlington to the world.
The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the estimation of the public, has been established by render- ing the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organi- zation, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and residents, the pub- lishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Burlington 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 follow- ing order :-
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, pages 21 to 40, printed on tinted paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufactur- ing, business and professional interests of Burlington and vicinity. The advertisements are indexed under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is reference advertising at its best, and merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. In a progressive community like Burlington, the necessity of having this kind of information immediately available, is obvious. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the many reference users of this City Directory service.
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns of Burlington is included in pages 41 to 266. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and ad- dress of each adult resident of Burlington, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corp- oration in the city. A similar list for Graham is contained in pages 349 to 392; for Haw River, in pages 413 to 427, and for Elon College, in pages 435 to 441.
THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, for Burlington, covers pages 269 to 307. In this section the names of the streets are arranged in alphabetical order; the numbers of the resi- dences 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 respec- tive crossing points on each street. A similar guide for Gra- ham will be found in pages 393 to 401; for Haw River, in pages 429 to 431, and for Elon College, in pages 443 and 444.

INTRODUCTION
THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY for Bur- lington is included in pages 309 to 347. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable catalog of the numerous interests of the community. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller. As such it plays an important part in the daily activities of the com- mercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium. A similar Directory for Graham appears in pages 405 to 411; for Haw River, in pages 433 and 434, and for Elon College, in pages 445 and 446.
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 broad- cast 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 Burlington and vicinity. There are 450 of these Directory Libraries, installed and maintained in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada through the courtesy of members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated and of which the Hill Directory Co. is a member.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recogni- tion by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

INTRODUCTION
IN THE PIEDMONT REGION Availability
Within six hundred miles from the boundaries of Pied- mont Carolinas lie New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Little Rock, New Orleans and Miami.
In other words, any part of this section is only about one day's railroad travel from the nation's chief centers of popu- lation and industry-a consideration that counts heavily in the distribution and marketing of manufactured goods.
From any part of the Piedmont it is only a few short hours by automobile over modern paved roads to the won- derful recreational facilities of the mountains in the western Carolinas, to the world-known resorts in the Sandhills-in- ternationally famous for their golf courses-and to the great seaside resorts along the Atlantic Coast.
Labor
Greater than any other resource of Piedmont Carolinas is the character of its men and women. This has made the industrial development possible and attracted a host of man- ufacturers.
Long before the Revolution these pioneers ranged down the valleys of the Appalachians from Pennsylvania, Mary- land, and other states. Largely of English stock, with ad- mixtures of German and Scotch-Irish, they settled in the hilly Piedmont section. Their descendants are true to those early traditions. They are energetic and ambitious. It is these qualities that years ago overcame the handicap of debt and stagnation left by the Civil War. They are keen to take their place in the forefront of the nation's develop- ment.
Manufacturers coming from older, over-industrialized sections, have been struck by the ready intelligence of these people, their eagerness to be taught, and their loyalty.
National Market
Fiedmont Carolinas is three hundred miles closer to the country's center of population than, for example, New York City. Based on the Life Insurance Sales Research Bureau studies, careful percentages have been worked out for every county in the U. S. in terms of ability to buy.
A 600-mile circle (the economical marketing radius) centered on New York reaches 44.5% of the national pur- chasing power. Centered on areas further north and east, a smaller proportion of the national market will be included.
A similar circle drawn from Piedmont Carolinas em- braces 66.8% of the country's purchasing power-a 50% greater availability to the national market.
Cost of Living
It has been estimated by one authority that the cost of living averages each Piedmont workman several dollars per week less than an equal standard of living costs in more highly industrialized parts of the country. Houses cost less; food costs less. The mild climate requires lower fuel and clothing costs. Naturally labor costs less.
CIVIC FEATURES
Location and Area
Alamance County is located in the famous rapidly-de- veloping industrial area known as the Piedmont Section. It lies between north latitude 35 degrees 52 minutes and 36 de- grees 17 minutes and west longitude 79 degrees 16 minutes

and 79 degrees 34 minutes, in the north central section of the state. Burlington's altitude is 642 feet. 492 square miles land area, or 314,880 acres.
History and Peoples
The following is quoted from a study by John W. Harden, entitled "Alamance County: Economic and Social," and pub- lished by the University of North Carolina: "It is not known exactly when the early settlers came to the region which is now Alamance County, but in 1700, when Lawson, an English explorer and adventurer, journeyed through this locality, he found it heavily forested and in the hands of the Saxapahaw Indians, with only a few scattered whites present.
"It seems that this section of the state was first settled by emigrants from the Rhine River section of Germany, known as the Palatine.
"These early settlers were augmented in 1720 by immi- gration of settlers from the North, and it was this movement that gave the region its first white inhabitants in any num- ber. These came from Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and even the more distant New England. The

newcomers were mostly Scotch-Irish, German, and English families, the last being mainly Quaker in religion."
Population
In 1930 the population within Burlington's city limits was 9,737, with several thousand in the immediate suburbs. At the end of 1933 a survey indicated the city's population to be at least 11,500.
Within a two-mile radius of the City Hall there are some 13,000, while a four-mile radius will take in over 20,000, or nearly 50% of the population of the entire county.
The following are population percentages for Burling- ton:
Native white 92.8%
Foreign-born white 0.6%
Negro
6.6%
Total native-born 99.4%
The same census shows that for the U. S. the percentage of increase in population during the period of 1920 to 1930 was 16.1%. North Carolina was 23.9%.

INTRODUCTION
The population of Alamance County during the same period increased 25%, while the population of Burlington in- creased 63.5%.
Thus Burlington's growth was four times that of the U. S. average, and nearly three times the state average. Churches
The essentially religious atmosphere of the community and its influence on Burlington's citizenship are indicated by the presence of 24 churches (21 white and 3 colored), in- cluding all leading denominations, this being a ratio of one church to every 450 of the population. Total membership in locai churches is around 6,000.
Education
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES-Within a two-hour automobile ride of Burlington, within North Carolina, are at least seventeen white colleges and universities of the first rank, and several within this radius in the neighboring state of Virginia, making a total of more than twenty. Of these, four are State institutions and ten are denominational. There are also a number of Negro educational institutions, State, denominational and private, within the same area.
Municipal Building
Elon College, supported by the Christian Church, is lo- cated four miles from Burlington, and is one of the best- equipped educational institutions in the State, both as to buildings, strength of faculty, and equipment.
CITY SCHOOLS-The Burlington city public schools rank among the best in the state. The local school district has twelve buildings, of which eight are white and four Negro, the district embracing Burlington and its suburbs. At the close of 933 the faculty consisted of 89 white and 23 Negro teachers, the enrollment of students being 3,754 white and 744 Negro, a total of 4,498. Classroom and laboratory equipment, library, auditorium, gymnasium and playground facilities are adequate.
The public school system is governed by a local board of education and a superintendent under the supervision of the State School Commission, and is financed principally from State funds, the State having assumed the support of all public schools through a state-wide system set up in 1933 by legislative act.
In Burlington there are also two business colleges giving commercial classes, bookkeeping and stenographic instruc- tion.
15
INTRODUCTION
There are also several private kindergartens.
LIBRARY-A public library, supported by the City, with branch libraries at three of the schools, has a total of over 10,000 volumes, while the circulation for home use in one year totaled some 26,000. This does not include use within branch school libraries.
ILLITERACY-The 1930 U. S. Census showed that the percentages of illiteracy in the states named were as follows: Massachusetts, 3.5%; Rhode Island, 4.9%; New York, 3.7%; New Jersey, 3.8% ; Pennsylvania, 3.1%; Virginia, 8.7%; North Carolina, 10%; South Carolina, 14.9%; Kentucky, 6.6%; Ten- nessee, 7.2%; Alabama, 12.6%; Georgia, 6.4%.
The percentage of illiteracy for Burlington was only 2.1%, as compared with a U. S. average of 4.3%.
Alamance County ranks third among the one hundred counties of the state in newspaper reading, with one paper for every 2.5 persons against a state-wide average of one paper for 5.1 persons.
Recreation
Burlington is within a few hours' ride of the noted beach resorts along the coast, the nationally-known sandhill resorts around Southern Pines and Pinehurst, and the far- famed summer mountain resorts surrounding Asheville, in the western part of the state.
There are many game preserves in the area. Bear and deer are found in coastal and mountain counties. Raccoons, fcxes, opossums, quail and rabbits are available throughout the state. Brant, duck, geese and other migratory birds winter in large numbers on the coast and there is also excel- lent fishing along the coastal sounds and in the lakes and streams of the interior.
Within an easily-accessible distance of Burlington are excellent hunting and also many streams and lakes for fish- ing
