DIRECTOR
PUBLIJA
Thus assuring you the ultimate service that skill and care can produce in the way of City Directories or other reference media.
The following "Standards of Practice," adopted at the inception of the Association of North American Directory Publishers in 1898, and strictly ad- hered to over the years, is your guarantee of satisfactory Directory Service.
The publisher of a Directory should dedicate his best efforts to the cause of business uplift and social service, and to this end pledges himself:
1. To consider, first, the interest of the user of the book.
2. To subscribe to and work for truth, honesty and accuracy in all departments.
3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, endeavoring to classify every concern under the one heading that best describes it, and to treat additional listings as advertising, to be charged for at regular rates.
4. To increase public knowledge of what Directories contain; to study public needs and make Directories to supply them; to revise and stand- ardize methods and classifications, so that what is wanted may be most easily found, and the Directory be made to serve its fullest use as a
business and social reference book and director of buyer and seller.
5. To decline any advertisement which has a tendency to mislead or which does not conform to business integrity.
' 6. To solicit subscriptions and ad- vertising solely upon the merits of the publications.
7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding circulation, placing the test of refer- ance publicity upon its accessibility to seekers, rather than on the num- ber of copies sold.
8. To co-operate with approved organizations and individuals en- gaged in creative advertising work.
9. To avoid unfair competition.
10. To determine what is the highest and largest function of Directories in public service, and then to strive in every legitimate way to promote that function.

INTRODUCTION
Hill Directory Company, Inc., publishers of the Greensboro City Directory, present to subscribers and the general public this, the 1931 edition.
Confidence in the growth of Greensboro's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be created as sections of this directory are consulted, for the directory is a mirror truly reflecting Greensboro 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 the courteous and hearty co-operation of the business and pro- fessional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Greensboro Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.
FOUR MAJOR DEPARTMENTS
The several essential departments are arranged in the following order:
The Buyers' Guide, pages 25 to 76, printed on tinted paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Greensboro and vicinity. These pages will be found particularly interesting and instructive to sub- stantial purchasing factors. The advertisements have been care- fully grouped by departments and are indexed under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is reference adver- tising at its best and as such merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. The community's activities, in many interesting phases, are authentically pictured. In an ambitious and progressive community like Greensboro, the necessity of having this kind of information immediately avail- able is very great, and, frequently, pressing. General apprecia- tion of this fact is evidenced by the liberal support the city di- rectory enjoys in the many fields which it serves.
The Alphabetical List of Names of residents, business firms and corporations is included in pages 77 to 556. A feature of this section is the inclusion of the wife's name in parentheses following that of the husband.
The Directory of Householders, including Street and Avenue Guide, covers pages 557 to 704. In this section the named streets and avenues are arranged in alphabetical order, followed by the numbered streets in numerical order; the residences and business
11
houses are arranged numerically under the name of each street and avenue, and the names of householders and business concerns are placed opposite the numbers.
The Classified Business Directory is included in pages 705 to 760. This department lists the various manufacturing, mercantile and professional interests in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable epitome of the business interests of the community. "The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller." As such it plays no small part in the daily doings of the business world. "More goods are bought and sold through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium."
COMMUNITY PUBLICITY
The directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, depicting in truthful terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site and as an educational center. To broadcast this information the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the directory in Di- rectory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference and serve as perpetual and reliable advertisements of Greensboro, for business men everywhere realize that the city di- rectory represents a community as it really is.
THE GREENSBORO DIRECTORY LIBRARY
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Greensboro City Directory a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce for free reference by the gen- eral public. This is one of more than 500 Directory Libraries in- stalled in the chief cities of the United States and Canada by members of the Association of North American Directory Pub- lishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.
The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those progressive business and professional men who have demon- strated their confidence in the city directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

GREENSBORO "Pivot of the Piedmont"
AERIAL VIEW OF GREENSBORO
History
On March 15, 1781, the Battle of Guilford Courthouse was fought, five miles from what is now Greensboro. So intent was General Nathaniel Greene on crippling Cornwallis that he little realized he was to title a city of the future. Although the battle was not de- cisive, General Greene fought so fiercely that Cornwallis entered the Battle of Yorktown unable to stem the tri- umphant wave of the American forces, and the victory at the end of the Revolu- tion has been laid by authorities to the result of the Battle of Guilford Court- house. The scene of this battle is now Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, a mecca for tourists and students of history.
Guilford County was settled in 1772 by Scotch-Irish and German stock from Pennsylvania, and English and Scotch
Highlander immigrants. It was named for Frederick, Earl of Guilford, better known as Lord North. Its people were simple and rural. They possessed no large estates or wealth. They were in- tensely religious, democratic, arduous in the pursuit and advancement of educa- tion, energetic and thrifty, home-loving and liberty-seeking. The original county seat was Martinsville, where was fought the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.
In 1808 Greensboro was founded as the county seat of Guilford and named for the famous General Greene. The town site was located in the exact center of the county. Commissioners paid Ralph Gorrell $98 for forty-two acres of land, and the new county capital and courthouse was laid off there.
Almost from its beginning Greensboro forged ahead in education. Dr. David Caldwell established his noted "Log College," the forerunner of several
14
WORLD WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM
academies and schools founded in 1816, has forged industrially, commercially, 1820, 1833 and 1836, leading up to the chartering in 1838 of Greensboro Female College, the grading of public schools in 1872, the establishment of North Carolina College for Women in 1892, and the building of three negro colleges.
Prior to 1860 the city was Whig, and opposed to secession. John A. Gilmer, of Greensboro, was offered a place on Lincoln's cabinet, but the city, of course, finally supported the State and the Con- federacy. It was at Greensboro that General Joseph E. Johnston disbanded his army, following his surrender to Sherman, and it was in the railway sta- tion here that Jefferson Davis held his last cabinet meeting. Greensboro's citi- zens have always taken a prominent part in state affairs. John M. More- head, as Governor, was one of the State's foremost proponents of good roads as early as 1840, and Edw. B. Jeffries is now chairman of the State Highway Commission, which admin- isters the entire highway system of the State, North Carolina being the first state to consolidate state, county and township roads under a single control.
Greensboro had a cotton mill as early as 1834, but it was in Reconstruction days that it began to be an important commercial and industrial factor. Its central position in the state then, as now, was its chief reason for growth. Here three main traffic arteries (Federal highways) converge. In 1856 came the first railroad (built by the State).
At the turn of the century Greens- boro's real growth began. In 1892 came Caesar and Moses Cone to establish their cotton mills, and to begin such well- balanced industrial development as is rarely seen. Steadily ahead Greensboro
and educationally, capitalizing its ad- vantages of accessibility, elimate, ideal labor conditions, agriculture, power, transportation. raw materials and a spirit of progressiveness. Let us look at Greensboro today.
Location
Greensboro is the pivot and focal point of the rich "Piedmont" section of the two Carolinas and a part of Vir- ginia. It is equidistant from Atlanta and New York, each being twelve hours by rail and five by air. Here also crosses the main East-West traffic arteries of the State and one of the main North-South highways. Other import- ant roads converge at Greensboro to make it the hub of highway trans- portation.
The Piedmont area of North and South Carolina contains 42% of the population of the two states, and pro- duces over 73% of their industrial out- put. From Greensboro into all sections of the Piedmont diverge the belts of traffic, over railroads and highways. That Greensboro is the logical, domi- nant "pivot" of this area is demon- strated by the fact that over 1,500 traveling salesmen and agency repre- sentatives have made their homes and headquarters here.
Two railroads serve Greensboro: the Southern and the Atlantic and Yadkin. Forty-eight passenger trains arrive and depart daily in six directions from a new and modern $1,000,000 station. The main North and South double-track line of the Southern intersects the main East and West trans-state line of the Southern at Greensboro. All important

grade crossings have been separated to safeguard life and property and to speed traffic. Sixty-five buses leave here daily for every section of the State, as do a complete system of regulated motor transport lines.
Two northbound and two southbound air mail planes leave the Greensboro airport daily, besides two passenger planes in each direction. A letter mailed here after business hours will be in New York or Atlanta the following morning by rail, and in Chicago that morning by air.
Municipal Government
Greensboro has been especially for- tunate in its selection of those men into whose hands its affairs of government are placed, and great municipal progress has been made by means of the complete confidence held by the taxpayers in the integrity and ability of the municipal officials. With a councilmanic-city man- ager form of government and non- partisan elections, modern machinery is provided for the efficient dispatch of the city's business, which insures the services of business leadership of the highest character. At the helm of Greensboro's municipal government there have long been business men of the highest char- acter and business judgment, often at great personal sacrifice to themselves.
Among those who have served on the city council are men who have made out- standing successes of their own business. These men have brought to the city a managerial skill never possessed by cities influenced by petty partisan politics. As a result the physical facili-
ties of Greensboro are strikingly attrac- tive and effective.
Greensboro has good water, and plenty of it, carefully safeguarded as to purity and sanitary distribution. The water works have a capacity of one billion, twenty-three million gal- lons, with a twenty-one million gallon reservoir for filtered water, a supply sufficient to serve the city for many years to come.
