ELECTRICITY IS CHEAP ---
Use It Freely to Make Your Home Livable.
Electricity makes a home livable not only because it brings brightness and cleanliness and health, but be- cause it relieves the housewife of so much of the drudgery of the housework that she is able to have more time for recreation and other activities which mean so much for the happiness and comfort of the family.
A wise woman has said that electric service pro- motes a good disposition and that good dispositions are essential to happy homes.
It's worth thinking about, anyway.
And electricity today costs a small fraction of what it cost even a few years ago.

INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1935 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 ser- vice. 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.
Five Major Departments
The five major departments are arranged in the following order :-
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, pages 21 to 54, printed on tinted 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 familiarize themselves 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 ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 55 to 589. 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 person- nel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.
THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY extends from page 591 to page 626.
THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, covers pages 627 to 832. 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 householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street.
THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 835 to 891. This department lists the names of all business and professional con- cerns in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature con- stitutes 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 commercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.
Municipal Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the city, de- picting 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 broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily avail- able for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reliable advertise- ments of Charlotte.
The Charlotte Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Charlotte City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of nearly 450 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assur- ance that it will bring a commensurate return.

HISTORY
Charlotte, the county seat of Mecklenburg, named for Princess Char- lotte of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, wife of George III of England, was incor- porated as a town in 1768. The name Mecklenburg was given to the county in honor of the Queen's birthplace. The early settlers were made up of Scotch-Irish from Pennsylvania and Virginia; Germans from the same section, and English, Scotch, Germans, Huguenots and Swiss from the South by way of Charleston.
A court house, constructed of logs, had been built in the town a few years previous to its incorporation, and the county court was held there, which probably accounted for Charlotte being selected as the county seat. The court house was located at the intersection of the streets now known as Trade and Tryon.
Charlotte is famed as the place where the first Declaration of Indepen- dence was made, on May 20, 1775.
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence
"Resolved: That we, the citizens of Mecklenburg County, do hereby dissolve the political bonds which have connected us with the mother country; and absolve ourselves from all allegiance to the British crown, adjuring all political connection with a nation that has wantonly trampled our rights and liberties, and inhumanly shed the innocent blood of Ameri- cans at Lexington.
"Resolved: That we do hereby declare ourselves a free and independent people; that we are and of right ought to be a sovereign and self-govern- ing people, under the power of God and the general congress; to the main- tenance of which independence we solemnly pledge to each other our mutual cooperation, our lives, our fortunes, and our most sacred honor.
"Resolved: That all officers, both civil and military, in this county, be entitled to exercise the same powers and authorities as heretofore; that every member of this delegation shall henceforth be a civil officer and exer- cise the powers of a justice of the peace, issue process, hear and determine controversies according to law, preserve peace, union and harmony in the county, and use every exertion to spread the love of liberty and of country, until a more general and better organized system of government be estab- lished."
Schools and Education
The people of Mecklenburg brought with them, in the settlement of their new country, the love of education. The first schools were conducted in the homes of the teachers. Prior to the time of the American Revolu- tion a number of school buildings had been erected. Queens College, or Museum, located within Charlotte, but within bounds of Sugar Creek Church, was the most noted school of Colonial times in Mecklenburg County. This college was located on a lot on South Tryon Street, where later, for many years, stood the Mecklenburg County Court House.
Churches and Religion
Seven churches of importance in Colonial days in Mecklenburg County were: Sugar Creek, Rocky River, Poplar Tent, Hopewell, Steel Creek, Provi- dence and Center. The congregations of these early churches were com- posed of men and women of strong character, high motives and dignified demeanor. To their influence throughout the community and upon suc- ceeding generations may be attributed the fine type of Christian citizenship which has characterized the people of Mecklenburg County. Many members of the families composing these seven Colonial churches have gone out: to other sections of the United States, particularly to the Southwestern and
13
INTRODUCTION
Middle-Western sections of the country, to establish homes and to carry with them the fine ideals of citizenship and Christian influence of their Mecklenburg ancestry. Numbers of the descendants of these Mecklenburg citizens who moved to other parts of the United States make pilgrimages to the venerable churches to read upon tombstones in the old burying grounds records of the lives of their forefathers. Upon anniversary occasions of these historic churches, all-day services are held and men and women from many distant states are numbered among the persons in attendance.
