INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1947-48 edition of the Winston-Salem City Directory.
Confidence in the continued growth of Winston-Salem's industry, popu- lation and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Directory are consulted, for the Direc- tory 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 city.
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 25 to 881, 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 the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and cor- poration in the city.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, preceding the Classified and separately paged from 1 to 160, on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Winston-Salem. 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 1045 to 1110, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alphabetical order under appropriate head- ings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable catalog of the numerous interests of the community. The Directory is the com- mon intermediary between buyer and seller. As such it plays an im- portant 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, on pink paper, follows the Classified and is separately paged from 1 to 3. This section is reproduced verbatim from copy supplied by the postal authorities.
THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET and AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, follows the Postal Unit Guide and is separately paged from 5 to 123. 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. Special 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, follows the Directory of Householders.

INTRODUCTION
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 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.

CITY OF HISTORIC CHARM AND THRIVING INDUSTRY; THE WORLD'S TOBACCO CENTER

HISTORY
Rich and varied is the history of Winston-Salem, for the city of today is the product of almost two centuries of constructive, planned growth.
In 1752-53 a small group of Pennsylvania Moravians, a Protestant denomination of Bohemian origin, carefully selected and bought a large tract of land in Piedmont Carolina at the three forks of the Yadkin River. They named the tract "Wachovia" after the Austrian estates of Count Nicholas Louis von Zinzendorf, an early protector-patron of the sect. Two settlements were established, Bethabara in 1754 and Bethania in 1759. In 1766 a new settlement was carefully laid out in the center of the Wachovian tract and built according to definite plans. The tranquility-loving Moravians named their new town Salem, meaning "peace."
The small town grew rapidly under the care of the industrious fathers. A water system was established and dwellings, stores and shops built. Embryonic industries included weaving, tanning, dyeing, baking, and the making of roofing tiles, ornamental tile stoves, clay smoking pipes, and candles. Tobacco was even then an important crop. The fathers consecrated a graveyard, "God's Acre," and founded a girls' school which has developed into the Salem Academy and College of today.
