Hill Directory Company, Publishers


INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY COMPANY, publishers of Southeastern Directories (publishers of the Fayetteville City Directory since 1906), present to sub- scribers and the general public, this, the 1962 edition of the Fayetteville City Directory, which also includes Bonnie Doone, Drake Park, East Fayetteville, Lakedale, Lafayette Village, Massey Hill and Myrtle Hill.


Confidence in the growth of Fayetteville'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 Fayetteville 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 co- operation 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 Fayetteville Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.


Five Major Departments


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


I. THE BUYERS' GUIDE constitutes the first major department, printed on goldenrod paper, and contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Fayetteville. The advertisements are indexed under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is ref- erence advertising at its best, and merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. In a progressive community like Fayetteville, 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.


II. THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is the second major depart- ment, printed on canary 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 between buyer and seller. As such, it plays an important part in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.


III. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns, is the third 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 Fayetteville, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the com- munity.


IV. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE is the fourth 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.


V. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY is the fifth major depart- ment, printed on blue paper.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


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 broadcast 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 Fayette- ville and vicinity.


The Fayetteville Out-of-Town City Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Fayetteville City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 1,000 Directory Libraries installed in cities and towns throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico by members of the Association of North Ameri- can Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.


The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those pro- gressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as anadvertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

FAYETTEVILLE - CUMBERLAND COUNTY


A Growing Metropolitan Area in North Carolina


Situated at the head of navigation, 115 miles inland on the Cape Fear River, this area has shown a remarkable growth during the past twenty years:

*Projected Population - January 1, 1963; Sales Management - November 10, 1961


Present indications are that this rate of growth will most likely continue, with a more complete utilization of its many natural advantages and resources.


Located midway between New York and Florida on the new Interstate 95, the area is of course between two tremendous markets. Being situated on the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line and also being served between these two areas by National Airlines, transportation is of the finest. For the heavier or bulkier needs, Fayetteville is the head of navigation on the Cape Fear River which accommodates standard size river barges that can presently originate or terminate from Jacksonville, Florida on the South to Trenton, New Jersey to the North.

INTRODUCTION


North Carolina's Governor Terry Sanford is a splendid example of the aggressive and progressive young men who are definitely "on the go" for "The Old North State." Governor Sanford is from Fayetteville.


Five banks, with resources totaling $502,763,783 and three Savings & Loan groups with assets amounting to $43,444,635 serve the financial needs of the area.


First Presbyterian (1831)


Snyder Memorial Baptist (October, 1959)


One hundred sixty-one churches provide a considerable portion of the area's social life. These represent all major denominations including Catholic, Jewish and most all protestants.


The area provides a modern educational system. The Fayetteville City Schools presently have an enrollment of 10,619 in eighteen buildings, with 397 instructors. The Cumberland County System operates thirty-two buildings with 612 teachers for 10,547 students. Two parochial schools through the eighth grade operate for an enrollment of 589.


In addition to elementary education, Fayetteville has recently opened a new $500,000 Industrial Education Center for Vocational training.


Fayetteville Senior High School

INTRODUCTION


Methodist College - Opened Fall, 1960


A modern private business school, Worth's, works with a combined day and night enrollment of some two hundred.


Fayetteville has two institutions of higher learning, four year Methodist College, opened Fall of 1960, above; and Fayetteville State Teachers College, established in 1877. Methodist College, sponsored jointly by the Church and the Community, is being developed progressively with another class being added each year until 1963 when it will offer four full years. Fayetteville State Teachers College is an accredited school.

INTRODUCTION


Cape Fear Valley Hospital


Three hospitals with 717 rooms presently operate within the City. Cape Fear Valley and Highsmith are public while the third is a U. S. Veterans Hos- pital. The community currently has some sixty-six physicians and surgeons, not including those with the Veterans facility.


Fayetteville and Cumberland County have kept pace with the rapid growth indicated and yet have been able to accomplish this without having to levy pro- hibitive taxes.


The city, with four fire stations, a fifth in the planning stage, 74 firemen and very modern equipment provides the community with an NB3 fire insurance rating. There is none better in North Carolina.

INTRODUCTION


Its water system, with practically unlimited quantities for future develop- ment and expansion, is kept well in advance of existing needs. The City also operates a highly modern sewage treatment plant.


The municipal park system now contains some 200 acres, divided among some 34 areas. Regular organized programs in arts and crafts supplement the regular park operations.


Fayetteville enjoys a very large retail trade. Gross retail sales for Cum- berland County during 1961 totaled in excess of $136 million. In addition to a modern and complete downtown area, Fayetteville has four active new shopping centers in the outlying area plus another that is presently under construction.


Homes are a very fine part of this thriving community with over twenty new developments presently active to fill the demand for housing in price ranges from $10,000 on up.


Fayetteville has two Country Clubs, each with an eighteen hole golf course and other facilities. For the avid golfer, should he want further fields to con- quer, it is barely an hour's drive to all the world renowned courses in the Pinehurst-Southern Pines Area.
