to patronize those concerns who are in business to stay.


It's human to expect that such busi- ness establishments always stand back of the wares they sell.


The advertising in this Directory is suggestive of the stability and per- manency of the advertisers.


Frauds, fakes, get-rich-quicks and other schemers have little use for directory advertising. It lives too long.


The modern City Directory is a business institution. It occupies a place peculiarly its own. It is as necessary to the progress and de- velopment of a city generally as anything naturally would be which deals with such a fundamental as the citizens themselves.


If you are not advertising your busi- ness in the Directory, may we ex- plain how and why it will pay you?

INTRODUCTION


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1934 edition of the Raleigh City Directory.


Confidence in the growth of Raleigh's industry, pop- ulation 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 Raleigh to the world.


The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Direc- tories 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 resi- dents, 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 city.


Four Major Departments


The four major departments are arranged in the follow- ing order :-


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, pages 17 to 44, printed on tinted paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufactur- ing, business and professional interests of Raleigh. 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 com- munity like Raleigh, the necessity of having this kind of information immediately available, is obvious. General ap- preciation of this fact is evidenced by the many reference users of this City Directory service.


THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 45 to 442. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Raleigh, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.


THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, covers pages 445 to 552. In this section the names of the streets are arranged in alpha- betical 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 con- cerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street.


THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 553 to 613. 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 in- terests of the community. The Directory is the common in-

termediary 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.


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 manu- facturing 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 per- petual and reliable advertisements of Raleigh.


The Raleigh Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Raleigh City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the of- fices of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, for free ref- erence by the general public. This is one of nearly 450 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North Amer- ican Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.


The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recog- nition by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Direc- tory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

Notable Facts in Raleigh's March of Progress


A 53.1% increase in population as shown by the 1930 U. S. Census.


Construction work in Raleigh of all types for 10 years, including 1930, represented an outlay of $30,000,000, an av- erage of $3,000,000 annually.


Investments in buildings and equipment of colleges and schools have grown from $3,400,000 to $7,500,000 in the past ten years. During the same period the student enrollment in colleges has increased from 1,352 to 3,815.


The retail volume of trade has increased in the past six years to $23,401,823. The Raleigh retail sales area extends from 25 to 50 miles.


A splendid municipal airport has been provided. It is one of the best in the country. Raleigh is one of the regular stops on the New York-South American trunk air line.


A fine radio station, carrying both chain and local pro- grams, has been provided by the Durham Life Insurance Co.


The North Carolina State Fair, with a group of hand- some buildings, enlarged under State ownership and opera- tion, is conducted annually.


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


Raleigh has been established as a stop-over for tourist traffic bound to Southern resorts. Highway developments have put this city at the forks of two leading Southern high- ways-Federal Nos. 1 and 401.


If Raleigh has the same rate of growth during the 1930's as it had in the 1920's, 1940 will find it with 57,905 people. Even the average rate of growth for the last three decades would give us nearly 53,000.


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 fer- tile agricultural area.


11


INTRODUCTION


Only six states in the American Union-California, Flor- ida, Michigan, New Jersey, Arizona and Texas-exceed North Carolina in percentage of population growth 1920-1930- 23.9%.


And Raleigh's percentage of growth 53.1%-was more than twice as great as that of the state as a whole.


Raleigh-Old and New


Raleigh, established, bought and paid for March 31, 1792, as the chosen capital of North Carolina, 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 No- vember, 1794. Destroyed by fire in 1831, it was then replaced by the present State Capitol, one of the most beautiful in America.


For a hundred years Raleigh made slow but steady growth. With the coming of the Twentieth Century the city blossomed forth with new vigor and all-'round progressive- ness.


In 1907 the completion of the Masonic Temple marked the coming of modern fireproof buildings, and then came 1911-1915, the handsome State Library, Supreme Court, and Historical Commission Building; the Citizens, Commercial, and Raleigh Banking & Trust Co. buildings, and the modern and spacious City Auditorium-indicative of Raleigh's new spirit.


Many people when asked when Raleigh 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 State School for the Blind, the Agricultural Department building, the beautiful D. H. Hill Library build- ing and new structures of the North Carolina State College of Agriculture and Engineering; the Odd Fellows building; the new plant of Meredith College; the Morson and Brough- ton High Schools, modern and fireproof; Sir Walter Hotel; the Professional Building; the Carolina Hotel; the Capital Club's new twelve-story office building, and many other structures, in addition to 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 public school system, has long been recognized as an outstanding center of education.


The North Carolina State College of Agriculture and En- gineering was established by legislative enactment in 1889. It is one of the leading agricultural and mechanical colleges in the South. There are 30 major buildings in the plant. It had an enrollment-constantly growing-of 1,619 in 1932. It embraces four schools-agriculture, engineering, science and business, and a graduate school.


Meredith College, a Baptist college for women, was opened in 1899. For many years it was located near the Cap- itol and now occupies a modern plant completed in 1925, two miles from the city on the Hillsboro road. Courses are offered in arts, sciences and music.
