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 vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, the second major department, printed on golden- rod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional concerns is the first major department, printed on white paper. under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is reference adver- tising at its best, and merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize them- selves with sources of supply. In a large commercial and industrial center like Charlotte, 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 ZONE 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 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 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.
