INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories (publishers of the Kinston City Directory since 1908), present to sub- scribers and the general public, this, the 1961 edition of the Kinston City Directory, which also includes Club Pines, Dupreeville, Green Acres, Greenmead and Rural Route Residents.


Confidence in the growth of Kinston'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 Kinston 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 residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Kinston Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.


Four Major Departments


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


I. THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major department of the Directory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and professional concerns of the city and vicinity, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the city and vicinity. Preceding this catalog, likewise grouped under appropriate headings, are the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to present a more complete list of their products or service than is possible in the catalog itself. The Yellow Pages represent reference advertising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a progressive community like Kinston, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately avail- able, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.


II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the second major department, printed 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 Kinston, Club Pines, Dupreeville, Green Acres and Greenmead, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community.


III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, is the third major department, printed on green paper. In this section the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical 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 intersect- ing streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Spe- cial features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the listing of telephone numbers.


IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, is the fourth major department.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


Community Publicity


The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the com- munity, 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 Kinston and vicinity.


The Kinston Out-of-Town City Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Kinston City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Kinston Chamber of Commerce Inc, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 1,000 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by Members of the Association of North American Dir- ectory 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 assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

General Review


The beginning of what is now a thriving eastern Carolina city was a wilderness settlement and trading post on the banks of the Neuse River, 70 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, in Colonial 1740. Since that time Kinston has been multiplied many times over, and has become a well- balanced center of varied commerce. The forest trails and water travel of Colonial days have turned into paved highways and railway roadbeds, and the "trading post" now serves approximately 150,000 "settlers" in its territory.


The population of the river settlement has grown from a hardy handful early in the 19th century to 25,400 at present. Today Kinston is the seat of government of Lenoir County, embracing 55,000 persons. The growth of Kinston always has been closely tied to agriculture, but now with the continued increase of population in the trade area, gradually developing industrial character is to be observed. The city, likewise, has become a permanent retail trading center for eastern North Carolina, and is the largest wholesale distribution point east of Raleigh.


From the basic agricultural work of the early settlers, engaged in survival, the production -- first, of cotton, and later, tobacco-came a broad- economic outlook and more prosperity. Today "King Cotton" has lost its autocracy and the "Golden-Leaf Tobacco" has become the economic ruler.

INTRODUCTION


market in 1960. Kinston's twelve tobacco warehouses provide ample sales space and facilities to accommodate more than 100,000,000 pounds of tobacco. Such a return from a single phase of the agricultural life of Kinston's "settlement" area, when boosted by the progress and return from the variety of other phases, has been reflected sharply in its growth.


Following the establishment of a thriving market, tobacco-processing factories were built, and have taken their place among numerous other industrial establishments to make the river-bank trading post a center of economic wealth. Within the boundaries of Kinston, with its many miles of broad, paved streets, are located producers of clothing and other textiles, building materials and various types of consumer goods.


A network of improved highways lead out of Kinston into the Coastal Plain like the spokes of a wheel and two railroads provide carrier facilities of heavy goods and shipments. Electric power, with newly- added equipment and facilities, is available to the city's residential and industrial needs and is more than 40 percent above the peak demand at present. There are 50 manufacturing and processing firms located in the city, with nine large wholesale distributors, and over 400 retail stores and service institutions, all banded together to serve the requirements of the ever-growing population.

The economic soundness of Kinston can be attested by the three thriv- ing banks, two having branches including a drive-in bank, which serves its citizens and its business life. Surveys have shown a steadily- mount- ing check-clearance volume in the banks for a number of years. The solvency of the City government is shown by the ready sale, at all times, of the municipal bonds for street and utility improvements and for the construction of permanent municipal improvements.


The physical well-being of the city, and its citizens is no less sound than any other part of its life. With the location 70 miles from the coast on North Carolina's temperate plains, the weather -- wet or dry, hot or cold -- is one of the most healthful. Here, it is not a matter of how many days the sun shines each year, but whether it shines in proper proportion to the rainfall. The abundance and value of farm crops grown in the im- mediate vicinity is proof of ideal weather and climate.


Two modern hospitals, staffed by some of the country's most eminent physicians, surgeons and specialists, are here to serve the citizens of the area. More than 40 doctors and dentists reside and practice in the city, thereby making Kinston the medicalcenter of eastern North Carolina. A well-organized public health program is carried on at all times to make for cleanliness and the eradication and treatment of disease. The Caswell Training School, the State's largest institution for the care of the mentally retarded and deficient, is located near the city. Kinston has a large modern library, with three branches and a mobile unit circulating 340,000 books and library materials annually. The library circulates, besides books, educational films and musicalrecordings and also sponsors Great Books discussion groups.

Kinston has the unique distinction of a perpetual artesian water supply coming from deep wells that provide water of the purest content east of the Rocky Mountains and is entirely untreated. The supply is unlimited for industrial and commercial use, as well as for home consumption.


Kinston citizens are friendly people, ever anxious to share their goods or services with the stranger within the city's gates. Kinston extends a cordial invitation to homeseekers, industrialists, retail traders, and men and women of all vocations to come here for a day, a year, or a lifetime.
