INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX


HILL DIRECTORY CO., Inc., publishers of Southeastern Directories (pub- lishers of the Winston-Salem City Directory since 1932), present to subscribers and the general public this, the 1953 edition of the Winston-Salem City Directory, which also includes City View, Hanes, Montview and Park Terrace. A new feature, the listing of telephone numbers, marks this edition.


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 service. 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 community.


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 vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation,


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, the second major department, printed on goldenrod paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and pro- fessional 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 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 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 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. In this section the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical 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. A special feature of this section is the designation of tenant- owned homes. A new feature is the listing of telephone numbers.


THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, on blue paper, is the fifth major department.

HISTORY


Rich and varied is the history of Winston-Salem, for the city of today is the product of two centuries of constructive, planned growth.


In 1752-53 a small group of Pennsylvania Moravians, a Protestant denomi- nation 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 Zin- zendorf 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."
