INTRODUCTION


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1950 edition of the Charlotte City Directory.


Confidence in the continued growth of Charlotte'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 Charlotte 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 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 Charlotte Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city.


Six Major Departments


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


THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the first 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 Charlotte, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, the second major department, printed on golden- rod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Charlotte. 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 familarize themselves with sources of supply. In a large commercial and industrial center like Char- lotte, 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 CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is the third major department, printed on yellow paper. 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 be- tween buyer and seller. As such it plays an important part in the daily activi- ties of the commercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.


THE POSTAL UNIT GUIDE, on pink paper, is the fourth major depart- ment. This section is reproduced verbatim from copy supplied by the postal authorities.


THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, is the fifth major department. In this section the named streets are arranged in alphabetical order, followed by the numbered streets in numerical 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 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 designation of homes and places of business having telephones.


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