INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Direc- tories, present to subscribers andthe general public, this, the 1950 ed- ition of the Sanford City Directory, which also includes the rural routes emanating from the Sanford Post Office. This is the first Hill Directory of Sanford, and is completely standardized according to the policies and practices of the Association of North American Directory Publishers.
Confidence in the growth of Sanford'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 Direc- tory is a mirror truly reflecting Sanford to the world.
The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the esti- mation of the public, has been established by rendering the best in Direc- tory service. With, an unrivaled organization, and having had the cour- teous 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 Sanford Directory will ful- fill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city.
Six Major Departments (Each department beginning with Page 1)
The six major departments are arranged in the following order :-
I. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and busi- ness 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 status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Sanford, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.
II. THE BUYERS' GUIDE, the second major department, printed on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufactur- ing, business and professional interests of Sanford. 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 progress- ive community like Sanford, the necessity of having this kind of informa- tion immediately available, is obvious. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the many reference users of this City Directory service.
III. THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is the third major department, 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 indis- pensable catalog of the numerous interests of the community. The Direc- tory 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 Class- ified Business Directory than through any other medium.
IV. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, isthe fourth major department. In this section the names of the streets are arranged in alphabetical order;
617829
IV
INTRODUCTION
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.
V. THE SANFORD RURAL ROUTES DIRECTORY is the fifth ma- jor department, printed on white paper.
VI. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY is the sixth ma- jor department, printed on blue paper.
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 manufacturing site andas an educational cen- ter. To broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are read- ily available for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reli- able advertisements of Sanford. There are more than 600 of these Direc- tory Libraries, installed and maintained in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada through the courtesy of members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated and of which the Hill Directory Co. is a member.
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.

Aerial View of Sanford Location
Sanford is located at the edge of the Piedmont, in the healthful pine belt, 46 miles southwest of Raleigh, N. C. It is in the exact center of the state and is surrounded by a large, rich agricultural area. Its location is partly responsible for its steady growth.
Population
Census reports show the steady growth of the city from 236 in 1880 to an estimated 10,000 in 1949. Jonesboro now is an integral part of Sanford and is designated as Jonesboro Heights. The genuinely friend- ly attitude of the citizens pleases visitors so much that many become residents because they like it here.
Industry
Sanford's residents find employment in manufacturing, merchan- dising and distribution. Industry is well-balanced and varied. The city has over 40 plants employing approximately 3,000 people, manufacturing a wide variety of products. These include lumber and lumber products, veneer, furniture, cabinets, brick, tile, pottery, tobacco curers, port- able sawmills, textile machinery, hosiery, cotton sheeting and bagging, service entrance and cable tape, industrial grease and meat meal, insec- ticides, tobacco re-drying, corn meal (also self-rising corn meal), stock feed, dog food, flour, fertilizer, meat products, sheet metal products, bakery products, lingerie, shirts, ice, ice cream, soft drinks, andfrozen foods. Coal with a high B. T. U. is mined nearby. Wholesale grocery and fruit, wholesale candy, wholesale florists and bottling plants make Sanford an important distribution point. The Sanford tobacco market is an important growth factor.

Education
There are five public schools in Sanford -- four white and one Ne- gro. Among these are two high schools holding membership in the Sou- thern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools -- Sanford High School, for white students, and the Lee County Training School, for Ne- groes. Graduates of these two high schools are admitted to the college or university of their choice anywhere inthe U. S. without being required to take the college entrance examinations. The elementary schools in the city have earned the ratings of 1 with the accrediting agencies, and are generally considered to be among the best in North Carolina. Sanford City schools are guided by a definite philosophy of education which is both sound and workable. Its aim is to develop the whole child, his mind, his body, his attitudes, his personality. School authorities from as far away as Columbia, S. C. have made inquiries as to Sanford's human relations program for students, perhaps the first school system in North Carolina to offer this type of program. Guided by the members of the Board of Trustees, who are serving because they are interested in developing Sanford's future citizens, plans have been laid for the development of a senior high school plant for Greater Sanford. A beautiful site of 28 acres on the outer fringes of the city has been acquired for the development of the new high school plant, which will be of the campus type, with one- story units. School officials have been told this will be among the finest high school plants in North Carolina, perhaps the first to develop the campus-type high school.

Sanford is a rail center, having five railroads. The Seaboard Air Line Railroad is a main line affording north and south transportation. The city has direct connections with the Atlantic Coast Line at Fayette- ville. The Atlantic & Yadkin connects with the Southern at Greensboro.
