INTRODUCTION and GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY COMPANY, publishers of Southeast- ern Directories (publishers of the Sanford City Directory since 1950), present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1963 edition of the Sanford City Directory, which also includes Carbonton Heights, Jonesboro Heights and Rural Route Residents.


Confidence in the growth of Sanford's industry, popu- lation and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Direc- tory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly re- flecting Sanford to the world.


The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the estimation of the public, has been established by ren- dering 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 Sanford Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the community.


Four Major Departments


The four major departments are arranged in the fol- lowing order :-


I. THE BUYERS' GUIDE constitutes the first major de- partment of the Directory, printed on yellow paper. In the first section of this department, grouped under appropriate headings, are included the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to make a complete presentation of their products or services. Following this is the Classified Business section, which embraces a list of the names and addresses of all business and professional concerns of the community, arranged in alphabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the community. The Buyers' Guide represents reference advertising at its best, and merits the attention of all buy- ers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a busy and diversified community like Sanford, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immediately available, is obvious. The Direc- tory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.


II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns, is the second major department, printed on white paper. This is the only record in existence that aims to show the name, marital status, oc- cupation and address of each adult resident of Sanford, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community.


III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUD- ING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE is the third major de- partment, printed on green paper. In this section the num- bered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order; the numbers of the

INTRODUCTION


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 respec- tive crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the listing of telephone numbers.


IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY is the fourth major department, printed on blue paper.


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 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 Sanford and vicinity.


The Sanford Out-of-Town City Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Sanford City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce, for free ref- erence by the general public. This is one of more than 1,000 Directory Libraries installed in cities and towns throughout the U. S., Canada and Puerto Rico by members of the Asso- ciation of North American Directory Publishers.


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.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?


You need it at your elbow at all times, to pro- tect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad- check "operators."

INTRODUCTION


Education


There are nine public schools in Sanford-eight white and one Negro. Among these are two high schools holding membership in the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools-Sanford High School, for white stu- dents, and the Lee County Training School, for Negroes. The elementary schools in the city have earned the ratings of 1 with the accrediting agencies, and are generally con- sidered to be among the best in North Carolina. Sanford City schools are guided by a definite philosophy of edu- cation which is both sound and workable. Its aim is to de- velop the whole child, his mind, his body, his attitudes, his personality. School authorities from other states have made inquiries as to Sanford's human relations program for students, one of the first school systems in North Caro- lina 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. The senior high school plant, built on a beautiful site of 28 acres on the outer fringes of the city, is a campus-type with one- story units and is one of the finest high school plants in North Carolina, perhaps the first to develop the campus- type high school.


Climate


Sanford's climate is a big asset to manufacturing and agriculture. It permits uninterrupted production through- out the year, thereby lowering operating costs. Winters are short. Summers are long and warm, but not oppressive. Precipitation varies from 42 to 52 inches. Mean annual temperature, 59.8 degrees F. Altitude, 370 feet.


Rail Service


Sanford is a rail center, having five railroads. The Sea- board Air Line Railroad is a main line affording north and south transportation. The city has direct connections with the Atlantic Coast Line at Fayetteville. The Southern con- nects with its main line at Greensboro. The Atlantic & Western provides local services. The Norfolk-Southern runs across Lee County, connecting with the Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic & Yadkin, but does not touch Sanford. These railroads offer the best in freight and passenger transpor- tation to all points of the compass. Overnight Pullman service to Jacksonville, Atlanta and New York City.


Airport


Three miles from downtown Sanford. One NE-SW sod runway, lighted for night use. Length 2,500 feet. A hard sur- faced, all weather runway has been authorized and will be constructed in the near future.


Highways


U. S. Highway 1 from Maine to Key West, Fla., offers the best in tourist accommodations and is traveled every month in the year. U. S. Highway 15 runs from Rochester, N. Y., to Savannah, Ga., through rich agriculture areas and large industrial cities. U. S. Highway 421 runs from Michi- gan City, Ind., across the Piedmont and coastal plains to Wilmington, N. C., U. S. Highway 501 from Lexington, Va.,

Sanford as a Trading Center


Sanford has a large trading area because of its location. There are no large cities nearby. Surrounded by a rich agri- cultural region and timberland, it offers the farmers mar- kets for their products and supplies for their families, homes, farms and sawmills. It has a balanced and diversi- fied industrial life. The more than 50 manufacturing plants afford a great variety of places for the residents to work. Agricultural crops include tobacco, cotton and corn. There has been a gratifying increase of live stock of all kinds on the farms. The tobacco market is among the best in the state as far as prices are concerned. The stores are equal to the best-as visitors know.


Civic Clubs


The civic life of the community is represented by num- erous strong, thriving, progressive organizations. Among them are Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Exchange, Civitan, Opti- mist, Pilot, Sanford Woman's Club, Business and Professional Women's Club, Masonic Order, Eastern Star, Elks Club, Moose Lodge, Junior Order, Knights of Pythias, Modern Woodmen of America, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Jun- ior Woman's Club, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Sanford Music Club, 40 & 8, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary, Lee Post No. 18 Ameri- can Legion, and American Legion Auxiliary. These render civic, fraternal, patriotic and social service.


The Sanford Chamber of Commerce


The membership of the Sanford Chamber of Commerce is made up of the business and professional men of the community, who not only are interested in the work, but also enter actively into the problems and tasks confronting the Chamber.
