Stability And Permanency


Do you realize that a City Directory advertisement is a testimonial to the per- h manency, the stability, of the advertiser?


That's the sort of concern all of us want to patronize, because we know when they sell us merchandise they are behind it in every way, today, tomorrow, and for the years to come.


"Fly-by-night," "fire-sale" and other temporary or "get-rich-quick" concerns rarely appear in the City Direc- tory.


And it is a noteworthy fact that the concerns which advertise one year in the city directory are there again next year. 90% of directory advertising is renewed.


Directory advertising is profitable. In connection with the class- ified business headings it is doubly effective ..


May we explain how and why it will pay you?

INTRODUCTION


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1938 edition of the Wilmington City Directory.


Confidence in the growth of Wilmington'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 Wilmington 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 organ- ization, and having had the courteous and hearty coopera- tion 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 Wilmington Di- rectory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic in- formation pertaining to the city.


Population


The population of Wilmington is estimated at 38,304, based on the number of personal names in the Alphabetical section of the Directory, with due allowance for those under Directory age. Territory immediately adjacent, which is a part of the city, as far as business and social life are con- cerned, is included in the Directory, and, likewise, in the population estimate.


Four Major Departments


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


THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 21 to 499, 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 Wilmington, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and cor- poration in the city.


THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, covers pages 501 to 602. In this section the named streets are arranged in alphabetical order, followed by the numbered streets in numerical 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 con- cerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street.


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, beginning opposite page 604 and separately paged from 1 to 24, on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Wilmington. 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 them- selves with sources of supply. In a progressive community

INTRODUCTION


like Wilmington, the necessity of having this kind of infor- mation immediately available, is obvious. General apprecia- tion of this fact is evidenced by the many reference users of this City Directory service.


THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 629 to 702, on white paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns 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 and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.


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 port, 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 Wilming- ton.


The Wilmington Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Wilming- ton City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 450 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North American 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.

INTRODUCTION


General Review


Wilmington is strategically situated on the Cape Fear River, blessed by nature with a variety of resources and kept up-to-date by the hand of man. It possesses both trunk- line rail, highway, and deep-water transportation, which give it low freight rates and permit quick freight movements in great volume.


Wilmington is important as a port, as a resort center, and as an industrial city, while it is the pivotal point for a rich and large agricultural area, and is the trading center for fully 225,000 people, the city being their nearest, as well as largest, market.


As a port, it possesses a fresh-water harbor 28 miles from the bar. Ice is an unknown quantity in the river, which has a deep channel, through which go big ocean steamers, bound for Europe, Latin America and other for- eign shores. The Federal Government recently completed the deepening of the channel in the river to thirty feet at mean low water, as well as the Intra-Coastal Canal from Beaufort to Wilmington, and from Wilmington to Miami, Fla., giving connections with Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston.


Wilmington's exportations and importations are large and ever-growing, which mark a successful port. As a cot- ton port, it sends forth approximately 100,000 bales per year. Its imports cover a large field in variety and come from practically every quarter of the globe. Wilmington ranks as the second largest fertilizer and first petroleum products port on the Atlantic Seaboard. Its volume of petroleum products is such that practically 75% of the state's con- sumption passes through the port. Wilmington also has a tremendous volume of molasses importation, which serves a half dozen states as well as a large amount of lumber handled in both coast-wise and foreign trade. Recent in- crease of port volume has been evidenced in large tobacco exports and growing imports of sugar.


Regardless of conditions, the past few years have wit- nessed big building operations. Among recent enterprises located here are several large fertilizer factories, Ethyl-Dow Chemical Co., Gulf States Creosoting Co., Taylor-Colquitt Co., manufacturing creosoted products, Atlantic Refining Co., American Molasses Co., Southland Mfg. Co., Wilming- ton Veneer Corp., Dupont Nitrates Co., W. R. Grace & Co., Nehi Bottling Co., Gulf Refining Co., Cities Service Co., Pure Oil Co., National Oil Co., Shell Oil Co., Sinclair Oil Co., and North State Creosoting Co., thus supplementing the city's already large number of such industries.


Wilmington is the natural gateway of North and South Carolina, intermediate between the whole territory and Richmond.


Wilmington is North Carolina's seaport city, the gate- way of her commerce and trade. North Carolina is a vast state in area, larger than New York or Pennsylvania, and almost as large as New England. Wilmington is the natural distributing point for North Carolina and parts of South Carolina and Georgia. Think what it would mean if all New England had only one such distributing seaport, and it will then be realized why Wilmington must grow and is growing to meet the demands of this vast territory, the bountiful natural resources of which have hardly been touched.

14


INTRODUCTION


From the Middle West the Panama Canal is in more direct communication via Wilmington than by any other South Atlantic seaport, and cargoes to and from Wilmington are not subject to the dangers of Cape Hatteras.


Wilmington is the center of the greatest vegetable- producing district in the U. S. A few years ago no straw- berries were raised except for domestic use; now Wilming- ton is the center of one of the largest strawberry-growing districts in the world. It is one of the largest lettuce-pro- ducing districts in the world, and a very large peanut mar- ket.


Wilmington's outlets by rail and water are the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line systems; Wilmington, Brunswick & Southern Railway; the North Carolina Line operating the Steamer State Port over the Intra-Coastal Canal; Norfolk, Baltimore & Carolina Line; Railway Express Agency, Inc., and foreign services.


Wilmington has a wonderful climate; no extreme heat or extreme cold. Average summer temperature, 78 degrees; average winter temperature, 48 degrees. The Normal rain- fall is 53 inches; average annual clear days, 132 (New York, rainfall, 44 inches; clear days, 118; New Orleans, rainfall, 57 inches; clear days, 109). The mild climate and diversified opportunities make this city and section a haven for home- seekers.


The Wilmington district is one of the greatest trucking regions in the U. S., and the yield for these early crops is valued at nearly $18,000,000 annually.


Nearest Atlantic port to the Ohio gateways, and nearer Cincinnati than Charleston by fifteen miles, and Savannah, by thirty miles.


Has immense terminals that can load sixteen ocean- going ships at one time, providing them with over 600,000 square feet of warehouse space.


In the World War, Wilmington had two immense ship- yards. It had the honor of possessing the only Government- owned steel shipyard in the South, and first Government- owned concrete yard in the country. These yards have been converted into important industrial centers.


The commerce on the Cape Fear River at and below Wilmington last year averaged 1,962,374 tons, with valua- tion of $70,736,533.


South of Hatteras, thus assuring safety to vessels from Latin America and other countries to the south of the U. S., this port occupies a strategic position of advantage to those countries.


Cape Fear River never has ice, which permits year- 'round navigation, and the climate is never so cold that it makes outdoor work a hardship or discomfort.


Wilmington has many fertilizer factories, petroleum products terminals, lumber plants, and a number of fish- packing plants, with large payrolls. It has the handsomest custom house in the South, costing more than $700,000. This city is the home station of the Coast Guard Cutter Modoc.


Wilmington has become a new and important inland waterway canal terminal since the completion, in the spring of 1932, of the extension from Beaufort to the Cape Fear River. This link provides accommodations for heavy traffic over a protected inland channel twelve feet deep and ninety feet wide, connecting up with points as far north as New York and Boston.


15


INTRODUCTION


Wilmington has two immense cotton compresses and two marine railways. The steel shipyard operated during the war by the George A. Fuller Co. has been converted into an industrial center. The concrete shipyard property is owned by the city and will be developed into municipal wharves and public terminals and warehouses. This has been of- fered the State of North Carolina as a location for State- owned terminals and warehouses, whenever such are neces- sary. Wilmington now has one of the finest and most efficiently operated systems of private terminals at any Southern port, and the city's principal stevedoring corpora- tion holds the record for all South Atlantic ports for quick dispatch of cargo.


With both water and rail transportation, thus affording quick hauls and low freight rates, and near the scenes of raw materials, Wilmington is a splendid spot for manufac- turing industries. Two big railroad systems-the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line-place the city near the great coal fields and the iron-producing zones.


Wilmington has cotton garment mills, wood and metal works, concrete concerns, cotton factories, candy factories, machine shops, big fertilizer factories, sawmills, oil stations, etc. A fine cold storage plant is located here.


This is a leading banking center, local banks having total deposits of $20,289,985.05.
