RALEIGH CITY DIRECTORY (1930)

Power of Advertising

The City Directory is the power that generates informa- tion for the buyer that he may know who deals in the pro- duct he wishes to purchase.

If your business is not classified properly and a display advertisement arranged to describe your business, how can you expect the buyer to trade with you?

Advertising is the foundation upon which successful businesses are built. You must apply this to your own particular business.

Advertising is the power of an idea multiplied. -

Introduction

Hill Directory Co., Inc., publishers of the Raleigh City Directory, present to subscribers and the general public this, the 1930 edition, of the Raleigh Directory.

Confidence in the continued growth of Raleigh's wealth, industry and population, and in the advancement of its municipal and social activities, will be created as sections of this directory are consulted, for the directory is a mirror truly reflecting the community to the world.

The enviable place occupied by Hill's directories in offices, stores, libraries and homes has been established by rendering the best in directory service. With an unrivaled organization, having the courteous and hearty co- operation 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 Raleigh 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 Raleigh. These pages will be found particularly interesting and instructive to substantial purchasing factors. The advertisements have been carefully grouped by departments and are indexed under head- ings descriptive of the business represented. This is reference advertising at its best and as such merits a survey by all buyers anxious to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. The community's activities, in many interesting phases, are authentically pictured. In a great commercial center like Raleigh, the necessity of having this kind of information immedi- ately available is very great and, frequently, pressing. General apprecia- tion of this fact is evidenced by the liberal support the city directory enjoys in the many fields which it serves.

The Alphabetical List of Names of residents, business firms and cor- porations is included in pages 77 to 644. (A feature of this section is the inclusion of the wife's name in parenthesis following that of the husband.)

The Directory of Householders, including Street and Avenue Guide, covers pages 645 to 764. In this section the names of the streets and avenues are arranged in alphabetical order; the residences and business 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 765 to 852. This department lists the various manufacturing, mercantile and pro- fessional 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 city, de- picting 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 Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference and serve as perpetual and reliable advertisements of Raleigh, for business men everywhere realize that the city directory represents a community as it really is.

THE RALEIGH DIRECTORY LIBRARY

Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Raleigh City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Chamber of Commerce for free reference by the general public. This is one of nearly 500 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the United States 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 assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

NORTH CAROLINA STATE CAPITOL-DOUBLY BEAUTIFUL WHEN FLOOD-LIGHTED AT NIGHT

A modern airport and flying school has been provided by the Curtiss-Wright Flying Service. Raleigh will be one of the regular stops on the New York-South American trunk air line. The city and county co-operated in this development.

A modern radio station, carrying both chain and local programs, has been provided by the Durham Life Insurance Company.

The North Carolina State Fair, with a group of handsome new buildings, has been enlarged under State ownership and operation.

Wake County provided a bond issue of $1,300,000 expended to complete the hard-surfacing of all important through highways in the county, in the interest of both local and tourist traffic.

Raleigh has been established as a stop-over for tourist traffic found to Southern resorts. Highway developments have put this city at the forks of two leading Southern highways- Federal, No. 1, and the Coastal Route.

Eastern North Carolina is the section of the State with the greatest undeveloped potentialities, and Raleigh is the logical gateway and distributing point for this vast and fertile agricultural area.

RALEIGH --- Old and New

There have been two Raleighs in North Carolina: the first the "City of Raleigh" on Roanoke Island, which came into being in the spring of 1587, upon the arrival of Governor John White from England. Of it only old Fort Raleigh, its defense, now remains. Governor White left for England on August 27th that year, expecting to return soon with more settlers and supplies. In 1591, when he came back, the colonists had gone without a trace. Then what is now North Carolina and all the rest of North America was "Virginia," named fancifully by Sir Walter Raleigh, in honor of his queen, the great Elizabeth.

The inspiration of Sir Walter's great name persisted, and when, in 1787, the convention of the people of the State of North Carolina decreed that there should be a "fixed and unalterable seat of government," it was also decreed that it should be named in Raleigh's honor. Since the establishment of the colony in 1663, there had been ten seats of government, at only three of which were there structures designed to be of a permanent character. These places were Edenton, Brunswick and New Bern.

Raleigh's streets were named by the convention and the special commissioners named by the General Assembly, in honor of notable men and for the eight superior court districts. In like manner, the public squares were named for men to whom the State was indebted for con- spicuous service.

The Raleigh of to-day, established, bought and paid for March 30, 1792, was the consumma- tion of a well-laid and definite plan. The construction of the first capitol building was begun in 1793 and finished in November, 1794. This was later destroyed by fire. The present capitol was built in 1840.

FAYETTEVILLE STREET LOOKING SOUTH FROM CAPITOL

Raleigh's first school was St. Mary's, built prior to 1840. Thirty years later came Peace Institute, and then about 1900, Meredith College, while the negro colleges, Shaw and St. Augus- tine's, date from 1867. In 1890 the State Agricultural and Mechanical College came into being. The State prison was begun in 1869 and finished a number of years later. The Sol- diers' Home, with buildings of wood, was occupied in 1891. In 1876, the old "Palace" of the governors, long unoccupied, was secured for the first graded school. Some twenty years later the first high school was established in a building on the site of the "Palace."

At no capital in the country are there more buildings or institutions connected with the State government. These include the present Capitol, which was built in 1840 of granite from a quarry that was owned by the State, considered by architects to be one of the most perfect pieces of architecture in the country; the Administration Building, Agricultural Building, Hall of History, State Museum, State Departments Building, State Office Building, State Highway Commission Building, Governor's Mansion, State Prison, State Hospital, State School for the White Blind, State School for Colored Deaf Mutes, State Laboratory of Hygiene, State Con- federate Soldiers' Home, North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering, and the State Fair Buildings.

In 1907 the completion of the Masonic Temple marked the coming of fireproof buildings, and then came 1911-1915, the third State building, for the State Library. Supreme Court and Historical Commission; the Citizens, Commercial and Raleigh Banking and Trust Buildings, and the City Auditorium. In fact, most persons, asked when Raleigh really began to grow, reply, "When it built the auditorium." The latter fixed it as the convention city of the State for all the greater public gatherings.

The end of the World War brought about another period of extensive development, and then came the new State Hospital, the new School for the Blind, the Agricultural Building, the beautiful Library Building, and other new structures at the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering; the Odd Fellows Building, the new Meredith College, and public schools, modern and fireproof; Sir Walter Hotel, the Professional Building, the Carolina Hotel, the new Raleigh Banking and Trust Company Building, the Capital Club's new twelve-story office building, and many other structures; extensive street paving and muni- cipal improvements, and the advent of North Carolina's great highway construction program.

A CENTER OF EDUCATION

Raleigh, with six colleges and an excellent school system, has long been recognized as an out- standing center of education.

AIRPLANE VIEW IN BUSINESS SECTION

The North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering was established by legis- lative enactment in 1889. It is one of the leading agricultural and mechanical colleges in the South. There are thirty major buildings in the plant. It had an enrollment-constantly growing-of 2,000 in 1929. It embraces four schools-agriculture, engineering, science and business, and a graduate school.

Meredith College, a Baptist college for women, was opened in 1887. For many years it was located near the capitol and now occupies a modern new plant completed in 1925, two miles from the city on the Hillsboro Road. Courses are offered in arts, sciences and music.

St. Mary's School for Girls, founded in 1842, is the largest girls' school owned and controlled by the Episcopal Church in the United States. It is a junior college and recognized as one of the best in America.

Peace, a junior Presbyterian college for girls, was opened in 1872. It offers special courses in art, sciences, music and expression. A number of new and modern buildings have been added in the past three years and the enrollment has grown rapidly.

The North Carolina School for the White Blind was established by legislative enactment in 1845. The present plant was completed in 1923 at a cost of $1,300,000. It is a standard high school and the only one of its type in the United States with this rating. It specializes in vocational training.
