INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1943 edition of the Winston-Salem City Directory. A new feature, the Postal Unit Guide, marks this edition.
Confidence in the continued growth of Winston-Salem'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 Winston-Salem 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 serv- ice. With an unrivaled 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 Winston-Salem Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the com- munity.
Six Major Departments
The six major departments are arranged in the following order :-
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 17 to 469, 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 Winston-Salem and vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, preceding the Classified and separately paged from 1 to 66, on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional intersects of Winston-Salem and vicinity. 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 large commercial and industrial center like Winston- Salem, the necessity of having this kind of information immediately avail- able, 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 539 to 588, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns of the whole community 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 commercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.
THE POSTAL UNIT GUIDE, a new feature, on pink paper, appears in pages 591 to 593. This section is reproduced verbatim from copy supplied by the postal authorities.
THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, covers pages 591 to 696. 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 concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Features of this section

are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the designation of homes and places of business having telephones.
THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, fol- lows the Directory of Householders.
Community Publicity
The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the com- munity, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of resi- dence, as a business location, as a manufacturing site and as an educa- tional 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 re- liable advertisements of Winston-Salem and vicinity.
The Winston-Salem Directory Library
Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Winston-Salem City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Winston- Salem Chamber of Commerce, for free reference 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 recognition 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.

WINSTON-SALEM
CITY OF HISTORIC CHARM AND THRIVING INDUSTRY; THE WORLD'S TOBACCO CENTER
(Courtesy Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce, Inc.)
History
The story of Winston-Salem is reflected equally in the quaint and charming pre-Revolutionary buildings of historic Salem and in the great modern industrial plants located a few blocks away. For Winston-Salem, as its name implies, is a city of dual origins. Its history begins in 1766 with the founding of the small frontier village of SALEM in the rolling wilder- ness hills of Piedmont North Carolina. The founders were a hardy band of Moravian pioneers, members of an old Protestant denomination of Bohemian origin, seeking religious freedom and opportunity in a new world. They were carefully selected for the task of establishing a new community and they built their town according to definite plans which had resulted from long study by their church leaders. These early settlers, who migrated
Main Hall, Salem College, with Historic Home Moravian Church (1800) in Left Foreground
south from Pennsylvania, built their churches and other structures so well that many of them still are being used. Among them are the church at nearby Bethabara (1788) and Home Church in Salem (1800); the Moravian Brothers' House (1769); Salem Tavern (1784); the Fourth House (1767) ; and the Sisters' House (1786). WINSTON, the newer half of the "Twin City," had its origin more than three-quarters of a century after the found- ing of Salem. It grew as a progressive business and manufacturing center close by the older Moravian community. The town was named in honor of Major Joseph Winston, soldier of Revolutionary War fame, by official act of the 1850-51 session of the North Carolina General Assembly. It was designated as the seat of Forsyth County, named for Colonel Benjamin Forsyth, hero of the War of 1812. The county was erected from a division of Stokes County by legislative act during the 1848-49 session. Winston was incorporated as a town in 1859, and common interests brought its citizens and those of Salem into close cooperation in many endeavors. The two communities, through the years, developed side by side; old Salem Church Square, in the heart of the original Moravian settlement, and the new Win- ston Court House Square were located less than a mile apart. In 1913, the two communities were consolidated by popular vote into WINSTON-SALEM -"A City Founded Upon Cooperation." From that consolidation has grown
