INTRODUCTION


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1935 edition of the High Point City Directory.


Confidence in the growth of High Point'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 High Point to the world.


The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the estimation of the public, has been established by rend- ering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled or- ganization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation 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 High Point Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city.


Population


The population of High Point is estimated at 41,123, based on the number of personal names in the Alphabetical section of the Directory, with due allowance for those under Directory age. Territory immediately adjacent, which is part of the city, as far as business and social life are con- cerned, is included in the Directory, and, likewise, in the population estimate.


Four Major Departments


The four major departments are arranged in the follow- ing order :-


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, pages 29 to 56, printed on tinted paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufac- turing, business and professional interests of High Point. 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 famil- iarize themselves with sources of supply. In a progressive community like High Point, 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 57 to 481. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of High Point, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.


THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, covers pages 485 to 568. In this section the names of the streets are arranged in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under


11


INTRODUCTION


the name of each street, and the names of the house- holders 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 569 to 624. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alphabetical order under appropriate headings. This feature constitutes an in- valuable and indispensable catalog of the numerous interests of the community. The Directory is the common intermed- iary between buyer and seller. As such it plays an import- ant part in the daily activities of the commercial and pro- fessional 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, 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 High Point.


The High Point Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the High Point City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the High Point Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of 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 recog- nition by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Direc- tory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

A Few Facts About Piedmont Carolina, of Which High Point Is One of the Larger Cities


The Piedmont section of the Carolinas has probably come in for more attention from the country at large than any part of the South, in recent years. The Piedmont section is largely responsible for the remarkable developments at- tributed to the state of North Carolina, such as good roads, schools, transportation facilities and hydro-electric power. The growth in wealth and population of the Piedmont sec- tion is due to its peculiar suitability for industry, and be- sides offering advantages of transportation, power, labor and proximity to markets, it is an enjoyable place to live. Ninety-nine per cent of the population is American-born, and 69 per cent of the population is white. At present there are three men working on the farms to one in other

industries. An abundance of potential labor is available from this source. Manufacturing costs are generally lower in all lines. Natural resources are only partially developed. Modern transportation facilities are daily bringing the out- side markets closer. The local market has developed into a factor.


The central location of High Point in the Piedmont area can be noted from the accompanying maps.

Origin of the Name


High Point gets its name from being the highest point on the original survey made for the old North Carolina Rail- road between Goldsboro and Charlotte.


Industrial Growth


High Point has gained a permanent and enviable posi- tion among the leading cities in the Piedmont section and in North Carolina as the center of two of the largest indus- tries in the entire South-furniture-manufacturing and nosiery-manufacturing. The success and growth of these two types of industry in High Point has brought it to a pre- dominating position that attracts the outside manufacturer of similar products. And in the natural follow-up of events, other industries, many of them allied, have found in High Point the ideal conditions necessary to continued, profitable manufacturing. High Point has 130 factories, making 80 different kinds of manufactured goods.


Furniture-Manufacturing


High Point maintains an undisputed lead in the manu- facturing of wooden household furniture and is the recog- nized center of this industry in the South, North Carolina ranking as the first state, and Virginia, the second. De- veloped originally because of the raw material supply (hard- wood lumber) close at hand, this industry now imports from neighboring states and abroad the bulk of its raw materials. However, there still exists under controlled forces, millions of acres of virgin forests which continue to supply the wood- working industry in increasing amounts. High Point con- ducts one of the four important furniture markets of the

country which holds semi-annual shows in the ten-story Southern Furniture Exposition Bldg., attracting furniture dealers from all over the U. S. This leading industry of High Point is made up of 36 factories producing nearly every conceivable kind of household furniture. The native

skill of the American-born laborer has been highly devel- oped in this industry to his own betterment and to the success of the industry. The contributing factors to suc- cess have been labor, power, transportation, raw materials and markets, all under favorable circumstances.


Hosiery-Manufacturing


North and South Carolina lead the U. S. in terms of active spindle hours in yarn mills. High Point has three cotton mills and two silk mills. Hosiery-manufacturing has

been developed as a natural result of proximity to yarn mills. It will be noted upon investigation that, whereas cotton mills have sought out the smaller communities and isolated sections, industries making a finished product, such as hosiery, have located invariably in the larger towns, and as in the case of High Point, closer to the Northern markets. There are 24 hosiery mills in High Point. In the last five years the growth of this industry has doubled in value of output as well as in invested capital. Most of the mills are as modern as can be found in the country, both in building and machinery. The majority of them are highly successful. The reasons for this are found in the peculiar advantages High Point has to offer-reasonable labor costs, cheap power, proximity to markets, temperate climate, ex- cellent transportation facilities and nearness to raw materials.


Diversified Industry


Passing on from the two leading High Point industries, furniture and hosiery manufacturing, we find a balance of diversified products among the some forty other factories making not only allied products, but a variety of merch- andise ranging from oil-burners to street cars. High Point's opportunity for successful industry lies in two favorable major facts-economical production and proximity to metro- politan markets. Also, in a locality where total wealth has increased 660% in the last 20 years and where the popu- lation increase has been 23.6% (U. S. Census figure) in the last 10 years, the local market becomes important. People in this territory have money to spend because they are regularly employed at fair wages. As in all industrial communities, most of the money stays at home.

INTRODUCTION


Population and Industrial Growth


U. S. Census figures for High Point since 1900 show the following increases:


1900


4,163


1910


9,525-128.8% increase


1920 14,302- 40.7% increase


1930 36,745-156.8% increase


It will be noted that the ten years of High Point's growth from 1920 to 1930 was greater than in any other period. The future is predicted in even more impressive figures.


Manufacturing additions from the outside have kept pace with inside expansion. For every increase in size of an established factory, a completely new organization or plant has come in, proving that "nothing succeeds like suc- cess" in High Point. High Point and its surrounding terri- tory is on the "make." Its industries are growing, new in- dustries are coming in, the local markets are increasing and the people are prosperous.


A Future Founded on Success


Necessarily, predictions for the future must be based on conditions as they exist today, regardless of past history. What High Point has accomplished during the last twenty years will not necessarily be duplicated in the next twenty. However, the facts in the case point to even greater strides in the next ten-year period. Today High Point moves with a gathered momentum, the result of the progress of the entire state of North Carolina, and the entire Piedmont sec- tion. High Point is in the center of this progress, retaining many advantages peculiar to itself. High Point is in the largest and wealthiest county in the state. It is convenient to the largest cities in the state. It is on the main line of the Southern, the leading railroad in the South. It has connections with competitive roads through its own locally- owned short line, the High Point, Thomasville & Den- ton R. R. It is on the New York-New Orleans air mail route. Hard-surface roads lead in all directions to points near and far. It is the largest city closest to the geographical center of the state and it is in the north central section of the Piedmont area. These factors have developed in High Point's favor in the last twenty years, where most of them did not exist before.


Add to these, those important features of natural re- sources, still in an undeveloped state, abundant labor sup- ply (3 to 1 farmers at present); ample hydro-electric power, with still greater facilities for development; and the equable climate, vigorous without extremes.


Briefly summing up these resources with the advantages of momentum, size and surroundings, High Point has prob-


20

High Point's future is bound up in the future of the New South, North Carolina and the Piedmont section.
