- thus assuring you the ultimate service that skill and care can produce in the way of City Directories or other reference media, and providing pro- tection against fraudulent advertising schemes which operate under the name of Directories.
The following "Standards of Practice," adopted at the inception of the Association of North American Directory Publishers in 1898, and strictly ad- hered to over the years, is your guarantee of satisfactory Directory Service.
The publisher of a Directory should dedicate his best efforts to the cause of business uplift and social service, and to this end pledges himself:
1. To consider, first, the interest of the user of the book.
2. To subscribe to and work for truth, honesty and accuracy in all departments.
3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, endeavoring to /classify every concern under the one head- ing that best describes it, and to treat additional listings as advertis- ing, to be charged for at regular rates.
4. To increase public knowledge of what Directories contain; to study public needs and make Direc- tories to supply them; to revise and standardize methods and classifica- tions, so that what is wanted may be most easily found, and the Direc- tory be made to serve its fullest use
as a business and social reference book and director of buyer and seller.
5. To decline any advertisement which has a tendency to mislead or which does not conform to business integrity.
6. To solicit subscriptions and ad- vertising solely upon the merits of the publications.
7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or inference regarding circulation, placing the test of refer- ence publicity upon its accessibility to seekers, rather than on the num- ber of copies sold.
8. To co-operate with approved organization and individuals en- gaged in creative advertising work.
9. To avoid unfair competition.
10. To determine what is the highest and largest function of Directories in public service, and then to strive in every legitimate way to promote that function.

INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., INC., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1948 edition of the Rocky Mount City Directory, which also includes West Haven.
Confidence in the growth of Rocky Mount'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 Rocky Mount 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 resi- dents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Rocky Mount Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authen- tic information pertaining to the community.
Four Major Departments
The four major departments are arranged in the follow- ing order :-
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 21 to 426, on white paper. This is the only record in ex- istence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupa- tion and address of each adult resident of Rocky Mount and vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, preceding the Classified and separately paged from 1 to 76 on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Rocky Mount and vicinity. 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 famil- iarize themselves with sources of supply. In a progressive community like Rocky Mount, 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 505 to 564, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alpha- betical order under appropriate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable catalog of the numerous interests of the community. The Directory is the common intermediary 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, covers pages 565 to 628. In this section the names of the streets are ar-

ranged 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 intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the designation of homes and places of business having telephones.
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, dipicting 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 broad- cast 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 Rocky Mount and vicinity.
The Rocky Mount Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Rocky Mount City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of 600 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 recogni- tion 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.

Rocky Mount's Forward March
Rocky Mount was incorporated as a village in 1867 and as a city in 1907. Its growth has been phenomenal. In 1890 the town was credited with 816 people. Ten years later, in 1900, the U. S. Census gave it a population of 2,937; in 1910, 8,051; in 1920, 12,742; in 1930, 21,412, and in 1940, 25,568. The local estimate at this time is 30,000.
Located at the gateway point of one of the most pros- perous sections of the state, and with a network of highways and railway connections to strengthen its geographical as- sets, it is recognized as eastern North Carolina's foremost jobbing and distributing center.
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad maintains one of its largest shops here, and this is headquarters for the superin- tendent of the Richmond district. Situated in the heart of a rich agricultural district, the city is logically a marketing center for farm products. In the season of 1946 there were sold on the Rocky Mount tobacco market, 78,303,090 pounds of bright-leaf tobacco. Rocky Mount is also a large market for cotton, and there are two cotton storage warehouses for storing cotton, and a cotton yard is maintained for the sale of cotton at auction. Rocky Mount also is proud of its curb market. The Rocky Mount curb market is one of the two largest curb markets in the U. S.
The industrial development is merged with the distribu- tion of farm products. The city has eight tobacco factories and redrying plants, one manufacturer of blended tobaccos, cotton mill, silk mill, plush mill, mattress factory, two fer- tilizer factories, cordage factory and several woodworking plants, and in addition to these the Atlantic Coast Line Shops. There are at present around 7,000 industrial workers employed in the city, with a payroll of more than $10,000,000 per year.
Rocky Mount is situated 120 miles south of Richmond, Va., 120 miles southwest of Norfolk, Va., and 120 miles north- west of Wilmington, N. C. It is on U. S. Highway No 301, running north and south, and on U. S. Highway No. 64 run- ning east and west. Incidentally, U. S. Highway No. 301 is an important link in the Washington-Florida Short Route running from Maine to Florida and publicized as the "To- bacco Trail," and U. S. Route No. 64 is a link of an important highway running from the Atlantic to the Pacific Coast.
City Government
The Rocky Mount city government operates under a council-manager charter, having adopted this form of gov-
15
INTRODUCTION
ernment in 1927. Chief among the characteristics of this are better administrative organization, improvements in the structure of government, and the elimination of unnecessary expense, to the end that the tax dollar may be expended economically, and that the cost of government may be re- duced wherever possible without detriment to public service. The tax rate for governmental purposes during the past several years has been greatly reduced. Rocky Mount's net debt is less than 5% (while the lawful limit is 10%) of the total assessed value of taxable property of $27,000,000. Not only does the city have an unusually comfortable credit margin, but with $6,000,000 worth of municipally owned and operated utilities consisting of gas plant, water plant and light plant, there is the definite assurance that the city can and will always control its tax rate, at the same time giving its citizens and industries the last word in service, for Rocky Mount's plants are of a capacity able to care for double the present population and industry. Rocky Mount's indebted- ness is being reduced annually, and an adequate sinking fund is being provided in an orderly fashion, while every necessary improvement and expansion is going on.
Municipal Airport
The Municipal Airport is located just outside the city limits on U. S. Highway 301 and along the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, and is less than ten minutes' automobile ride from the center of the city. The area of the airport is 362 acres. It has two paved runways, each 150 feet wide, with one runway 3,800 feet long and the other 4,000 feet long. The airport is constructed so that an additional runway can be paved 150 feet wide and 4,000 feet long, which will provide taking off and landing in any direction. The Municipal Airport has a complete weather bureau, a new code beacon and a revolving beacon. It is classed as a No. 3 airport. There is an improved hanger 80 by 100 feet, and it is so constructed that additional hangars can be provided when needed. Rocky Mount is an important stop on the Norfolk-Knoxville and Washington, D. C .- Rocky Mount routes of the Capital Airlines.
The City's High Lights
Rocky Mount has a temperate climate. The average temperature is 60.8. From a health standpoint, the city is ideal. Records show that there have been no epidemics. The water supply is pure; the milk supply has passed every test, and received commendation from every source of in- spection. The city has all modern sanitary regulations, with health officers empowered to enforce them.
