INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1948 edition of the Goldsboro City Directory.
Confidence in the growth of Goldsboro's industry, popu- lation and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Di- rectory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Goldsboro 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 resi- dents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Golds- boro Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authen- tic information pertaining to the city.
Five Major Departments
The five major departments are arranged in the follow- ing order :-
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 25 to 384, 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 Goldsboro, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, preceding the Classified and separately paged from 1 to 90, on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Goldsboro. The advertisements are indexed under headings descriptive of the business repre- sented. This is reference advertising at its best, and merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. In a progressive community like Golds- boro, the necessity of having this kind of information im- mediately 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 included in pages 475 to 535, 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 between buyer and seller. As such it plays an important part in the daily activites of the com- mercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.
THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, covers pages 539 to 605. In this section the named streets are arranged
12
INTRODUCTION
in alphabetical order, followed by the numbered streets in numerical order; the numbers of the residences and busi- ness 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 designation of homes and places of business having telephones.
THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, follows the Directory of Householders.
Municipal Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the city, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as a manu- facturing 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 Goldsboro.
The Goldsboro Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Goldsboro City Directory, a Directory Library was established recently in the offices of the Goldsboro Chamber of Commerce and Merchants Association, for free reference by the general public. This is one of 600 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Asso- ciation of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recogni- tion by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

General Review
LOCATION: Goldsboro is located in eastern North Car- olina, three miles north of the Neuse River and 52 miles southeast of Raleigh, the State capital. Its central location partially explains the city's consistent growth as the chief merchandising and distributing point of a rich agricultural area of more than 250,000 people.
POPULATION: Census reports reflect the steady growth of the city. The 1940 U. S. Census showed a population of

INTRODUCTION
17,274 in the city proper. The 1948 estimate is 28,000. The population in 1910 was 6,107, and by 1930 it had grown to 14,985. Wayne County, of which Goldsboro is the county seat, in 1930 had a population of: 53,013, and in 1940, 58,328. A conservative estimate for the county in 1948 is 68,000.
INDUSTRY: The city's people find employment in mer- chandising, distributing and manufacturing. Goldsboro's more than 40 manufacturing plants produce lumber and lumber products, brick, agricultural implements, cotton yarn, veneer, furniture, cottonseed products, meal, grits, stock feed, electric“ wire, textile products, meat products, frozen foods, bakery products, soft drinks, steel tanks, and foundry products. Its three tobacco redrying plants handle millions of pounds of tobacco yearly, much of it shipped from other points in eastern North Carolina and from South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
HOUSING: Housing is modern and living costs are reasonable. Local markets afford for most of the year an abundance of vegetables and fruits produced within a short radius of the city. Local markets also afford a bountiful supply of poultry, dairy products and meats for the entire year.
RECREATION: Ample recreational facilities are pro- vided. A recreational council provides a year-around pro- gram of sports and activities for the city, including basket- ball, physical education classes, swimming team, playgrounds directed by specialists, amateur baseball and softball. The city is a member of the Coastal Plains Baseball (Class D) League. A Civic Theatre group has provided stimulating entertainment for many years. The city's public library is . one of the oldest in the state, and at the same time is one of the most modern in its facilities.
Goldsboro has three parks with a combined area of more than 300 acres. One of these, Herman Park, has the largest menagerie in eastern North Carolina. Included in the recreational assets is a new municipal stadium. A well- planned 18-hole golf course is a part of the park system. A riding academy with large stables is located adjacent to the city.
Four modern movie houses complete the recreational picture. These theatres play first-run pictures and an oc- casional road show or vaudeville.
CHURCHES: Goldsboro is not neglectful of religious ac- tivities. There are 19 denominations and branches of ec- clesiastical bodies having 46 churches, for both white and Negro citizens. The denominations include: Baptist, Cath- olic, Christian, Disciples of Christ, Episcopal, Free Will Bap- tist, Friends, Holiness, Jewish, Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ, Lutheran, Methodist, Pentecostal Holiness, Presby- terian, Salvation Army and Evangelical Baptist.
EDUCATION: Goldsboro graded schools were the first chartered public schools in North Carolina and have a wide reputation for excellence of instruction. The Goldsboro High School is a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and its graduates are ad- mitted to standard institutions of higher learning without examination. The city has eleven public schools (element- ary and high) for its students-six white and five Negro, valued at $2,000,000, and a combined faculty of more than 125. In addition to the public schools, the Sisters of the Im-
