INTRODUCTION


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1941-42 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 estima- tion of the public, has been established by rendering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, 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.


Four Major Departments


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


THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 17 to 472, 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 High Point, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and cor- poration in the city.


THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, covers pages 473 to 553. In this section the named streets are arranged in alphabetical order, followed by the numbered streets in numerical order; the numbers of the resi- dences 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. Features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the designa- tion of homes and places of business having telephones.


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, beginning opposite page 556 and separately paged from 1 to 40, on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, 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 familiarize 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.


7


THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 557 to 616, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alphabetical order under appro- priate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensa- ble 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 profes- sional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Busi- ness 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 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 read- ily 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 Direc- tory, 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 more than 500 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.

High Point, North Carolina and Guilford County Today


Origin of Name


High Point derived its name from statement made by Captain Gregg, chief engineer of the surveyors of the North Carolina Railroad, from Goldsboro to Charlotte (now leased by the Southern Railway) in which he said, "This is the highest point along the whole survey so we will mark it High Point".


Southern Furniture Exposition Building, with 10 Stories and 72 Acres Floor Space


11


Industry


High Point occupies the unique position of being the Southern Cen- ter of two major industries, furniture and hosiery.


The first furniture factory was established in 1888-today there are 40 furniture factories located here manufacturing a complete line of wooden household furniture including office desks and other equipment.


Located here are three furniture exhibition buildings for the exhibi- tion of furniture, rugs, floor coverings and other household furnishings to the dealer-the fourteen-story Southern Furniture Exposition Build- ing, Tomlinson Exhibition Building and the Broad Street Furniture and Rug Mart-with combined floor space of 350,000 square feet. Two hundred eighty-three manufacturers of household furnishings exhibit their products in this-The Southern Furniture and Rug Market.


The daily capacity of the 20 hosiery mills of High Point exceed 50,000 dozen pairs of hose. The manufacture of hosiery ranges from infants' hose to full fashioned hose, the volume in men's half hose be- ing predominant. First hosiery mill established in 1905.


There is a wide diversity of manufacturing in High Point-in ad- dition to 40 furniture factories and 20 hosiery mills there are 123 other diversified manufacturing plants, among these are plants manufactur- ing: overalls, work shirts, men's summer clothing, mattresses, box springs, pillows, veneers, plywoods, art glass, paints, enamels, varnishes, lacquers, sealers, stains, fillers, undercoats and reducers, bobbin heads, shuttle blocks, building material, mirrors, glass furniture and novelties, toys, hosiery transfers, embossers labels and seals, silk and rayon weaving, hosiery and underwear yarns, dyes, chemicals and textile oil specialties, paper boxes, corrugated shipping containers and a variety of other products.


The manufacturer will find in High Point many advantages so necessary for successful and profitable operation, (this is proven by the successful operation of plants now located here) among these are climate (good living and working conditions) availability of intelligent native labor, 79.8% native white, 19.7% negro, .05% foreign born, har- monious industrial relations, efficient public utilities, adequate elec- tric power and modern municipal facilities.


Transportation


Located on main line of the Southern Railway System between Washington, D. C. and Atlanta, Ga.


On the High Point, Thomasville and Denton Railroad, a locally owned and successful short line railroad connecting, through the Win- ston-Salem Southbound Railroad with the Norfolk and Western Rail- way, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Norfolk Southern Rail- road with through rates and service applying.


Air service through the Greensboro-High Point Airport is serviced iced by Eastern Air Lines main line, New York to New Orleans and by Pennsylvania Central Air Lines through its Norfolk to Knoxville branch.


Sixteen motor freight lines operate out of High Point.


Charter and Form of Government


The original charter of the City of High Point was granted by the State Legislature in 1859. The present council-manager form of govern- ment was inaugurated by charter amendments in 1915 and 1931.


The present charter provides for a City Council consisting of a mayor and eight councilmen.


High Point is operated under a modern city manager charter which places responsibility for efficient operation of all departments upon the City Manager and delegates to him authority commensurate with such responsibility.


12


The charter is unique in that the debt creating power of the City Council is very greatly restricted. No new indebtedness may be created in any fiscal year in excess of 50% of the amount retired during the previous year, except by vote of the citizens. Under this plan, the in- debtedness of the City will undoubtedly decrease each year, and at the same time, such limitation will not prevent the logical development of municipal facilities.


Electric Distribution System


The City operates its residential and commercial electric system with considerable net profit. The City's charges for electric current sold to its residential and commercial consumers are no greater than those charged for similar classes of service rendered by private utility companies operating in this area.
