INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories (pub- lishers of the Raleigh City Directory since 1903), present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1954 edition of the Raleigh City Directory, which also includes Carolina Pines, Hertford Village and Westover. A new feature, the listing of telephone numbers in the Directory of Householders, marks this edition.
Confidence in the growth of Raleigh's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sec. tions of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly re- flecting Raleigh 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 co- operation of the business and professional men and residents, the publishers feel that the Raleigh Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city and vicinity.
Five Major Departments (Each department beginning with Page 1)
The five major departments are arranged in the following order: -
I. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the first major department, printed on white paper. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital stat- us, occupation and address of each adult resident of Raleigh and vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation.
II. THE BUYERS' GUIDE, the second major department, printed on gold- enrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Raleigh and vicinity. The advertisements are in- dexed under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is refer- ence advertising at its best, and merits a survey by all buyers eager to famili- arize themselves with sources of supply. In a progressive community like Raleigh, the necessity of having this kind of information immediately available, is obvious. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the many refer- ence users of this City Directory service.
III. THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is the third major depart- ment, printed 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 numer- ous interests of the community. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller. As such it plays an important part in the daily activ- ities of the commercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.
IV. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, is the fourth major department. In this sec- tion the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and busi- ness concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the num- bers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective cross- ing points on each street. A special feature of this section is the designation of tenant-owned homes and a new feature is the listing of telephone numbers.
V. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, is the fifth major department.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, 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 Raleigh and vicinity.
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 Raleigh Chamber of Com- merce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 600 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 pro- gressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their con- fidence in the City Directory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.
