INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1942-1943 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 rendering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professoinal men and residents, the pub- lishers 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 25 to 415, 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 corpora- tion in the city.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, preceding the Classified and separately paged from 1 to 54, 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 rep- resented. 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.
THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 471 to 518, 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 inter- mediary between buyer and seller. As such it plays an important part in the daily activities of the commercial 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, follows the Classified and is separately paged from 519 to 612. In this section the named streets are arranged in alphabetical order, followed by the numbered streets in numerical 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 inter- secting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the designation of homes and places of business having telephones.
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 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 Direc- tory, a Directory Library is maintained in th offices of the High Point.

HIGH POINT AND GUILFORD COUNTY TODAY
Origin of Name
High Point derived its name from a statement made by Captain Gregg, chief engineer of the surveyors of the North Carolina Railroad, from Golds- boro 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."

INTRODUCTION
Industry
High Point occupies the unique position of being the Southern center 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 exhibition of furniture, rugs, floor coverings and other household furnishings to the dealer-the fourteen-story Southern Furniture Exposition Building, the Tomlinson Exhibition 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 being predominant. First hosiery mill established in 1905.
There is a wide diversity of manufacturing in High Point-in addition to 40 furniture factories and 20 hosiery mills, there are 123 other diversified manufacturing plants. Among these are plants manufacturing, 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, em- bossers 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 neces- sary for successful and profitable operation (this is proved 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; harmonious industrial rela- tions; efficient public utilities; adequate electric power, and modern mu- nicipal facilities.
Transportation
Located on main line of the Southern Railway System between Wash- ington, D. C., and Atlanta, Ga.
On the High Point, Thomasville & Denton Railroad, a locally-owned and successful short-line railroad connecting, through the Winston-Salem Southbound Railroad, with the Norfolk & Western Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Norfolk Southern Railroad, with through rates and service applying.
Air serivce through the Greensboro-High Point Airport is furnished 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 government 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 re- sponsibility.
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 indebtedness of the City will undoubtedly decrease each year, and at the same time, such limitation will not prevent the logical development of municipal facilities.
21
INTRODUCTION
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 similiar classes of service rendered by private utility companies oper- ating in this area.
