INTRODUCTION


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1941 edition of the Wilson City Directory. A new feature, the designation of homes and places of business having telephones, marks this edition.


Confidence in the growth of Wilson's industry, popu- lation and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Di- rectory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Wilson 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 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 Wilson Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city.


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 29 to 263, 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 Wilson, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city. A feature of this section is the designation of the number of children under Directory- listing age in each household.


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, preceding the Classified and separately paged from 1 to 28, on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Wilson. The advertisements are indexed under headings descriptive of the business repre- sented. 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 Wilson, 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.


THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 293 to 338, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in al- phabetical 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.


12


INTRODUCTION


THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, covers pages 341 to 393. In this section the names of the streets are ar- ranged in alphabetical order; the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order un- der the name of each street, and the names of the house- holders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. . A feature of this section is the designation of tenant-owned homes. A new feature is the designation of homes and places of business having telephones.


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 manu- facturing site and as an educational center. To broadcast 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 Wilson.


The Wilson Directory Library


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Wilson City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Wilson Chamber of Commerce, for free ref- erence by the general public. This is one of more than 500 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 recog- nition by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Di- rectory as an advertising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

General Summary


Wilson was incorporated Jan. 29, 1849, and is known as "The World's Largest Bright-Leaf Tobacco Market" and "The City of Beautiful Trees."


The first tobacco warehouse was constructed in Wilson in 1890. It proved very successful as a convenience to the farmers, as well as a profitable business enterprise for the

owners. From the beginning, Wilson proved popular as a tobacco market, and that this popularity has increased is evidenced by Wilson's phenomenal growth in this respect, having gained the distinction of being the world's largest bright-leaf market. Although a tobacco center, Wilson has other industries that contribute materially to its payroll and welfare.


Wilson is the county seat of Wilson County and is the largest township in the county, which has a total of ten townships. Wilson County was named for the Hon. Louis D. Wilson, long a member of the Senate from Edgecombe County and a volunteer in the Mexican War. By the U. S. Census of 1940, the county population was 50,219.


Industries

lished in 1854 under the name of Hackney Bros., engaged in the manufacture of buggies. Later there came a rapid change in vehicles, automobiles replacing the use of buggies, - and in keeping with this development, Hackney Bros., in 1919, discontinued the manufacture of buggies, reorganiz- ing under the name of Hackney Bros. Body Co. Since that time this company has engaged in manufacturing the latest types of commercial bus bodies. Wilson's second oldest in- dustry, the Hackney Wagon Co., was organized in 1903. This concern manufactures the most modern type of horse-drawn wagons and other articles. Other products manufactured in Wilson include cotton yarn, cotton linters, cottonseed hulls, cottonseed oil, acid phosphate, various grades of fer- tilizer, ice, lumber, building materials, memorial monuments, mattresses, dairy products, candy, bottled drinks, bakery products and plush materials.

Although not actually engaged in manufacturing, the tobacco re-drying plants located in Wilson are an important factor in the industrial life of the community, particularly from the standpoint of employment and payroll. These re- drying plants prepare tobacco through a stemming, steam- ing and grading process that puts it in readiness for man- ufacturing, hence their operations would be closely aligned with manufacture.


Wilson, the World's Largest Tobacco Market


Tobacco more than anything else has given Wilson an international reputation, for it is "The World's Largest Bright-Leaf Tobacco Market." A summary of this huge to- bacco industry is as follows:


There are eleven auction tobacco warehouses, with a combined floor space of 850,000 square feet, which, when

filled to capacity, will hold approximately 5,500,000 pounds. There are ten tobacco re-drying plants, furnishing a re- drying capacity of approximately 2,000,000 pounds daily, with three eight-hour shifts as the regulation running time. There are five sets of buyers, all companies being repre- sented, and at a selling rate of 360 piles of tobacco per hour, it is possible for these men to purchase on an average of approximately 1,350,000 pounds per day With six hours as the regulation sales day, warehouse floors, when filled to capacity, can be cleared in three days. Wilson reached its selling peak in 1939, the total sales for that year being 91,007,768 pounds, and the receipts for this tobacco totaled $15,039,003.40. In 1940 the Wilson markets sold 64,140,898 pounds for an average of $18.45 per hundred, this tobacco bringing $11,830,881.24. During the 1940 season Wilson paid the highest average price on any of the 76 bright-leaf mar-

kets in the entire flue-cured area covering six states. The market sold 24% of the entire 1940 crop sold in eastern North Carolina, paying its customers $1.41 per hundred above the state average.


Agriculture


Wilson County is primarily an agricultural county, with practically 90% of its income derived directly or indirectly from agricultural products. The principal crops are tobacco, cotton and corn, although the following commodities are produced in reasonable proportions: Wheat, peanuts, rye, cowpeas, soy beans, cowpea hay, soy bean hay, mixed hay and clover. The soil is adapted for the growing of most all types of vegetables and fruits, although these crops are not grown and marketed on any large commercial scale, but mostly for home consumption. One of the most im- portant developments in the agricultural picture of Wilson

INTRODUCTION


County is the promotion of pure-bred live stock among the residents of the county. This is being promoted, not only by the agricultural department through the County Agent's office, but by the Wilson Chamber of Commerce, which has set up a loan fund of $1,000 a year for the boys and girls of the county. This plan has already been put into force and is expected to result in many additional dollars for the people of both the County and the Town of Wilson.


Location


Wilson is located on the main line of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Norfolk Southern Railroad. It is also located on U. S. Highway 301, which is in a connecting link with the shortest North-South automobile route. This route, known as "The Tobacco Trail," now leads all North-South routes in the handling of tourist traffic north and south. Wilson is also served by excellent roads leading in all di- rections, thus giving the town and county excellent trans-

portation facilities. Due to its geographic location and its accessibility to the large population represented by sur- rounding towns within a reasonable distance, the city is now recognized as the most popular distributing center for eastern North Carolina. Many traveling men make Wilson headquarters as a result of its location advantages.


Power, Light, Gas and Water


The electric, gas and water plant and distribution sys- :


tem in Wilson are municipally-owned. The Town of Wilson owns approximately 300 miles of distribution lines outside the corporate limits, and furnishes electricity wholesale to six towns within a radius of twenty miles, and power and light to approximately 1,900 rural customers. The utilities of the Town of Wilson, including land, buildings and dis-

The rates, both domestic and indus- trial, are in line with other towns in eastern Carolina. Wilson's water supply is taken from a lake at the head of Contentnea Creek. The watershed and storage space are ample to meet every requirement. The filtering and pump- ing plant has a capacity of 3,000,000 gallons daily. The dis- tribution system and fire hydrants service reach every part of the town. Sewer and water are also available in every section. The demand at present is 1,500,000 gallons every 24 hours.


Educational Facilities


Wilson and Wilson County have a very fine school sys- tem, with attractive school buildings and splendid equip-

The Atlantic Christian College, located in Wilson, offers courses in higher education and is recognized as a standard Grade "A" college. Its enrollment for the 1938-39 term was approximately 360.


The City of Beautiful Trees


Wilson is known as "The City of Beautiful Trees," and though there are many residence streets in the city with a variety of lovely trees, Nash St. is considered the most beau- tiful, with Park Ave. deserving special recognition. Over a period of years, several geographic and pictorial magazines have written special articles and given particular reference to Nash St., and have designated it as one of the seven most beautiful residence streets in the world. To the students of nature, and especially to those who admire beautiful

trees, Nash St. is a real attraction. It offers an assortment of trees as follows: Pecan, birch, magnolia, walnut, um- brella, liveoak, cypress, hickory, pine, dogwood and willow oak. On spacious lawns in front of beautiful homes, these trees are found growing amid numerous kinds of shrubbery and many-colored flowers.


Churches


Wilson is a religious town, yet is not over-churched. There are sixteen churches, with the following denomina- tions represented: Missionary Baptist, Freewill Baptist, Pentecost Holiness, Methodist, Presbyterian, Episcopal,
