INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of South- eastern Directories, present to subscribers and the gen- eral public, this, the 1959 edition of the Waynesville, Hazelwood and Lake Junaluska City Directory, which also includes the rural routes emanating from the Waynesville post office.


This is the first Hill Directory of Waynesville, Ha- zelwood and Lake Junaluska and is completely stand- ardized according to the policies and practices of the Association of North American Directory Publishers.


Confidence in the growth of Waynesville, Hazel- wood and Lake Junaluska's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of their civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Direc- tory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Waynesville, Hazelwood and Lake Junaluska 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 unrival- ed organization, and having had 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 Waynesville, Hazelwood and Lake Junaluska Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the communities.


Five Major Departments


The five major departments are arranged in the following order :-


I THE YELLOW PAGES constitute the first major department of the Directory. This embraces a complete list of the names and addresses of the business and pro- fessional concerns of Waynesville, Hazelwood and Lake Junaluska, arranged in alphabetical order under ap- propriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of Waynesville, Hazelwood and Lake Junaluska. Preceding this catalog, likewise grouped under appropriate head- ings, are the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to present a more complete list of their products or services than is possible in the cata- log itself. The Yellow Pages represent reference adver- tising at its best, and merit the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In progressive communities like Waynesville, Ha- zelwood and Lake Junaluska, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and always immed- iately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


important role in the daily activities of the commercial, industrial and professional world.


II THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of resi- dents and business and professional concerns is the sec- ond 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 Waynesville, Hazelwood and Lake Juna- luska, and the name, official personnel, nature and ad- dress of each firm and corporation in these communi- ties.


III THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, IN- CLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, is the third major department, printed on green paper. In this sec- tion the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical or- der; the numbers of the residences and business con- cerns 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 "rossing 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, on blue paper, is the fourth major department.


V THE WAYNESVILLE RURAL ROUTES DIREC- TORY is the fifth major department, printed on white paper.


Community Publicity


The Directory reflects the achievements and ambi- tions of the community, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a busi- ness location, as a manufacturing site and as an educa- tional center. To broadcast this information, the pub- lishers 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 re- liable advertisements of Waynesville, Hazelwood and Lake Junaluska. There are more than 700 of these Di- rectory 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 Direc- tory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated and of which Hill Directory Co., Inc. is a mem- ber.


The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the rec- ognition 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.

WELCOME TO WAYNESVILLE


The resort area around Waynesville offers the best for a mountain vacation. Waynesville is in the heart of the Smokies, strategically located between the Pisgah National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains Na- tional Park. It is completely encircled by mountain


xiii


INTRODUCTION


ranges over 5,000 feet high and mountain peaks over 6,000 feet.


Hiking and horseback trails lead to the tops of the highest ranges and two of them, one on the Pisgah Ledge and Wagon Road to Beech Gap and the other from Soco to Heintooga, are traversed by the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is the safest, most scenic motor road in Eastern America. Waynesville and Haywood County were originally the very heart of the Cherokee Country and today, Waynesville is in the center of everything worthwhile for a successful mountain vacation.


From the valley floors, you look up to mountain peaks over 6,000 feet above sea level. From mile high scenic points, where you drive in your car, you look down into the valleys. The richly forested peaks and mountain slopes, shrouded by the smoky blue haze that gives them their name, provides a variety of scenic beauty unexcelled anywhere. These, the oldest moun- tains on earth, already old when other mountain chains were being formed, create an awe-inspiring fascination for the visitor.


Waynesville is in a land of waterfalls. Soco, Look- ing Glass. and Yellowstone Falls are within a few min- utes drive from town. Toxaway Falls, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Cullasaja Falls are all to be seen on an easy day's loop drive from Waynesville. These are all visible from the highways. Dozens of others are to be seen from side roads and over short hiking trails.


There are millions of acres of forests in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and National Forests in Western North Carolina that are open to the public for camping, picnicking, fishing, and hunting. Nanta- hala and Pisgah are two of the largest National Forests. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most popular of all National Parks in the nation. It leads all others in the number of visitors annually.


Three miles to the east is Lake Junaluska, a 250- acre lake, the home of the Lake Junaluska Methodist Assembly. This is the outstanding religious, education, and recreation center of the area. Fishing, boating, swimming. and golf are open to the public. Supervised play and swimming, movies, and other forms of recrea- tion are offered for younger children. A Children's Cen- ter and a $100.0000.00 Youth Building are among the latest additions to the Lake's facilities. Modern ac- comodations are available on the Assembly Grounds and at motor courts nearby.


Seven miles northwest of Waynesville on U. S. Highway 19 is the beginning of North Carolina's most beautiful resort community. It is as picturesque and as colorful as the name it bears, Maggie. Maggie Valley is at an elevation of some 3,500 feet above sea level and is shadowed by peaks measuring above 6,000 feet. The Valley is always cool, especially during the twilight and evening hours after the sun goes down. Maggie is be- coming famous as a resort community providing for her

INTRODUCTION


guests the best foods, accommodations, recreation, and entertainment in a mountain valley setting, unmatched in natural beauty anywhere.


Waynesville in the mountain represents a differ- ent kind of living. Residents are stimulated to activity by the invigorating atmosphere. Natives and visitors alike are on a constant search for more things to do. places to go, and things to see. Waynesville inspires a new zest for living.


The Waynesville Country Club golf course is one of the finest in all North Carolina. It is enjoyed by golfers from all over the country, many of whom come to Waynesville for this reason alone. The eighteen hole course is open the year round and during the summer months it is very rare when the course cannot be used at some time during each day.


Living in the mountains is living at its best. The climate is stimulating. The peoyle are industrious. The majority are land and home owners. The friendliness of the people, the cultural environment, and the year around climate marked by four distinct seasons. spring, summer, fall, and winter, are attracting more and more people who are seeking the ideal location for retirement. People from the north who are seeking a milder winter climate and people from the south who want more variety in every day living are finding ex- actly what they want at Balsam, in Waynesville, at Lake Junaluska, and in Maggie Valley.


Waynesville's Geographic Location and Transportation


Waynesville's location is not only near the center of the population of the eastern half of the nation but is also in the geographic center. It's location is stra- tegic from the standpoint of procurement of supplies and the distribution of finished goods. Rail freight fa- cilities are good. Highway transportation is good and becoming even better.


A manufacturing plant located in Haywood County will in no case be more than a matter of minutes away from the new interstate highway that will connect the main arteries of traffic into the Midwest, the East, the Middle Atlantic states and the Southeast. When this in- terstate is placed in operation within the next three years, even the most heavily loaded motor freight trucks will be out of the mountains of Western North Carolina in less than an hour's driving time after leav- ing the plant in Haywood County. Furthermore, due to the location, design and construction of this road, freight can move over it 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. There will be no mountains to cross.


Within the next two years, the road to Atlanta will have been completely relocated or rebuilt. This road leads into the heart of a great market for Western North Carolina farm produce and manufactured goods.


In the forseeable future, new airport facilities will be installed in nearby Buncombe County that will bring

Waynesville's Good Climate and Water


Aside from the aesthetic values of good climate and beautiful scenery, industries operating here have learned that on a year around basis, Waynesville and Haywood County offers the best climate and working environment found anywhere in the country.


Air-conditioning is not necessary. None of our man- ufacturing plants are air-conditioned. Not even in The Dayton Rubber Company where vulcanizers and auto- claves at extremely high temperatures are in constant use. Exhaust fans are placed in the ceiling to exhaust heat and fumes but on may days, even in the summer, these fans are never in use.


Our good climate insures top operating efficiency and productivity on the part of the work force. Evenings are particularly cool, thus affording working comfort for those on the job and sleeping comfort for those at home. Winter weather is generally mild with little snow or storm conditions. Workers rarely lose a day's work on account of adverse weather.


Such working conditions are rare in other parts of the country and pay off in dollars and cents advantages for our manufacturing plants.


Our rare combination of climate, weather, and soils also combine to produce vegetables, apples and other fruits of the finest flavor grown anywhere. The flavor of our vine-ripened tomatoes, sweet corn, green beans and apples is unexcelled, adding to the the plea- sures of those fortunate enough to live in such a garden spot.
