INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, pub- lishers of the Burlington and Graham City Directory since 1935, present to sub- scribers and the general public, this, the 1958 edition of the Burlington and Graham City Directory, which also includes Alamance, Elon College, Glen Raven, Haw River, and Hopedale.


Confidence in the growth of Burlington's and Graham'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 Burlington and Graham 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 cooper- ation 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 Burlington and Graham 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 Direc- tory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and professional concerns of the city and vicinity, 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 advertisements 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 advertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In progressive communities like Burlington and Graham, 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, industrial 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 status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Burlington, Graham, Alamance, Elon College, Glen Raven, Haw River and Hopedale, and the name, official per- sonnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community.


III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AV- ENUE 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 designation of tenant- owned homes and the listing of telephone numbers.


IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, is the fourth major department.


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

Within 600 miles from the boundaries of Piedmont Carolinas lie New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, 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 population 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 hours by automobile over modern paved roads to the wonderful recreational facilities of the mountains in the western Carolinas, to the world-known resorts in the Sandhills-internation- ally famous for their golf courses-and to the great seaside resorts along the Atlantic Coast.
