INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX
HILL DIRECTORY COMPANY, publishers of Southeastern Directories (publishers of the Tarboro Directory since 1956), present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1962 edition of the Tarboro City Directory, which also includes Princeville and the Rural Route Residents.
Confidence in the growth of Tarboro's industry, popula- tion 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 Tarboro to the world.
The enviable position occupied by HILL'S Directories in the estimation of the public, has been established by render- ing the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organiza- tion, and having the courteous 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 Tarboro 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 following order :-
I. THE BUYERS' GUIDE constitutes the first major de- partment, printed on goldenrod paper, and contains the ad- vertisements of leading manufacturing, business and profes- sional interests of Tarboro. 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 community like Tarboro, 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.
II. THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is the second major department, printed on canary paper. This de- partment lists the names of all business and professional con- cerns in alphabetical 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 com- mercial, industrial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.
III. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns, is the third major de- partment, printed on white paper. This is the only record in

existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occu- pation and address of each adult resident of Tarboro, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the community.
IV. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUD- ING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE is the fourth 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 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 designation of homes and places of business having telephones.
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 Tarboro and vicinity.
The Tarboro Out-of-Town Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Tarboro City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Tarboro Merchants Assn. and Chamber of Com- merce, Inc. for free reference 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 Association of North American Directory Publishers.
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.

of the State's finest agricultural areas producing tobacco, cotton, peanuts, corn and feedstuffs. Located within the town limits is a cotton mill employing 625, a veneer mill employing 140, and a farm machinery manufacturer employing 414. Other industries include cotton, lumber, knitting, feed and grain, and cotton oil mills. The average weekly payroll of the town is approximately $150,000. Tarboro, the home of Carolina Tele- phone and Telegraph Company which serves about 100 munici- palities in eastern North Carolina.
Incorporated in 1760, Tarboro has shown steady progress in growth. The retail business section, with its modern stores and progressive merchants, is one of the finest in the south for any city of comparable size. A wide selection of merchan- dise is offered in the stores and the local citizen can fulfill all his needs right at home.
Tarboro has a healthy diversification of industry which insures its continued growth and prosperity. Located here is a large textile mill, two hoisery mills, an agricultural im- plement manufacturer, two large lumber manufacturers, a plywood manufacturer, a concrete block and concrete products manufacturer, a peanut processing plant and a cotton seed oil products manufacturers. Native labor is employed in the Tar- boro plant and employee-manager relationship has been noted for smoothness of operation and good will.
In addition to its diversified industry, Tarboro is a very important tobacco market. Six large, modern auction ware- houses handle the leaf sales and buyers representing all do- mestic and foreign companies are on hand for the auctions. For the past several years Tarboro has shown a gratifying increase in the number of pounds sold each year and is rapid-

ly becoming one of the best markets in the Bright Leaf Tobacco Belt. Production and marketing of cotton and peanuts have also played a very important part in the city's growth.
Tarboro boasts three modern hospitals in addition to the County Tuberculosis Sanatorium. Two of these hospitals, the Bass Memorial and the Edgecombe General, are staffed by white doctors and nurses while the third, the Quigless Clinic is for colored patients only. The health of a community plays a vital part in the stability and progress, not only of the com- munity itself, but of the nation as a whole and Tarboro is fortunate in having these fully-equipped hospitals with their well-trained staffs. They serve patients from a wide radius and the doctors who practice in the hospitals are considered among the finest in the State.
Tarboro has the distinction of being the first municipality to operate its own milk plant. The Municipal Milk Plant was originated in 1918 after an epidemic of disease among Tar- boro's children which was traced to the milk supply. Oper- ated on a non-profit basis, its beginning was a modest one, but the plant and its output have grown until it is today in the category of "big business." By operating on a non-profit plan, the city is able to give to its citizens and customers a better grade of milk at a lower cost. The raw milk is pur- chased from nearby dairies and is pasteurized before being bottled. This plant has been the subject of study by represen- tatives of city governments from every part of the country and abroad.
In addition to the Municipal Milk Plant, Tarboro also operates its own electric plant, furnishing an ample supply of power both for industry and home needs. The profits derived from the Municipal Light and Power System have contributed

INTRODUCTION
towards keeping the city in excellent financial condition, with a low bonded debt and a low tax rate. The city also has a modern water purification plant which was built during the mid-thirties. This plant is large and modern in every respect and is adequately equipped to take care of the city's present and future needs.
Tarboro is served by a network of well paved roads which include U. S. Highways 64 and 258. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad serves the city and offers excellent connections to all parts of the country. Air transportation, air freight and crop dusting facilities are available at the city-owned Tar- boro Municipal Airport and excellent bus connections are avail- able to all parts of the State.
The Municipal Swimming Pool in Tarboro is one of the finest in the South. Tarboro citizens can well be proud of this splendid outdoor pool which is open day and night to swim- mers of all ages. Year after year, Tarboro has produced out- standing swimming teams which have won more than their share of trophies and records in swimming meets both at home and throughout the East, Midwest and Deep South. The Tar- boro pool has paid great dividends in health, safety and team- work for the youth of Tarboro and has been an important ad- dition to the recreational facilities of all her citizens.
In addition to the swimming pool, Tarboro has a fine Municipal Ball Park. Additional recreational facilities include golfing, tennis and softball. Fishing in the Tar River which borders the city, and in the smaller streams in the county, as well as hunting in the fall and winter, round out a complete recreational program.

Town Common

INTRODUCTION
Of special interest to the visitor is the Town Common which is one of the most beautiful parks in the State. Its mas- sive oak trees have afforded shade for generations and it is a favorite gathering place for children and grown ups. Visi- tors will also want to see Calvary Episcopal Church, the parish house which contains museum pieces dating back to 1320. Trees growing in the church yard, including a cork tree, were brought from every continent of the world. Another place of genuine interest is a small, private museum owned by Dr. J. P. Keech. Started as a hobby by Dr. Keech in his boyhood, this little museum contains a very interesting collection of Indian relics, firearms and swords dating back to the Civil War, implements and tools over one hundred years old and an amazing variety of other museum pieces. Here are pre- served the minutes of the first Masonic meeting in Tarboro which took place on Nov. 11, 1811.
Tarboreans are proud of the Commons, the only Commons south of Boston, a tract of land situated in the heart of the city, where stately oaks and flowering dogwood trees make it a place of beauty.
Adjoining Tarboro on the south is the Town of Princeville which is the only incorporated Negro community in the State. Princeville was incorporated in 1885.
Edgecombe County was formed in 1732. Bounded by Hali- fax, Martin, Nash, Pitt and Wilson counties, it is in the center of the Bright Leaf Tobacco belt of the Carolina Coastal Plain. Within its borders are five hundred and fifteen square miles of rich agricultural land which produce tobacco, peanuts and cotton in great quantity. The sandy loam of Edgecombe County is ideal for the raising of fluecured tobacco. This valuable crop is grown in all parts of the county and contributes materially to the wealth of this section. Plant disease is rare and the better grades of tobacco predominate. Ranking sixth in the state in value of crops and livestock, Edgecombe County depends largely on the soil to maintain a relatively high per capita worth. Of the county population over fifty- five thousand, about seventy per cent are engaged in agricul- ture and the raising of livestock.
The social and civic life of Tarboro is active and very pro- gressive with 17 civic and cultural clubs. The Hilma Country Club and American Legion hut are constantly in use.
There are two public libraries in Tarboro with bookmobile service for the county people. The new and modern Edge- combe County Memorial Library was dedicated in 1960 and contains over 20,000 volumes and many valuable paintings.
