INTRODUCTION
HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1949-50 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 maitained 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.
Five Major Departments
The five major departments are arranged in the following order :-
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the first 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 Winston-Salem, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, the second major department, printed 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 im- mediately 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 the third major depart- ment, printed on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all busi- ness 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 common interme- diary 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 DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, is the fourth major department.

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 settle- ment 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.
