GASTONIA, N. C.
Preface
We take pleasure in submitting Volume VII of the Gastonia, N. C., Direc- tory. Gastonia has made great strides since our last directory was issued, both in population and business enterprises.
While no directory is free from errors, we feel sure that this edition of the Gastonia Directory will give general satisfaction because we know that it is far above the average directory published for a city in the same class as Gastonia. Experienced help has been used in collecting the data, and a complete new canvass was made. There may be a few omissions of names (which is generally the case with all directories), but it is not due to the fact that the territory was not fully covered by our canvassers. Unfortunately about the time we began this edition of the Gastonia Directory the city of- ficials decided to renumber some of the business houses and residences. This somewhat delayed our work and gave us more or less trouble in getting some of the new numbers correct, but as a whole, this edition of the Gastonia Directory can be relied upon, it being more than 95% correct, which is far greater than can he said of the average city directory.
For the information of the public we wish to say that the Gastonia Di- rectory is strictly a "Carolina Made" product; no foreign help was imported to do the work; neither was the printing done outside the state.
It has always been our policy and shall continue to be so, to patronize home industries as far as possible, and we believe that North Carolinians should as far as possible huy "Carolina Made" Articles.
Gastonia is in the center of the textile industry of North Carolina and is one of the leading manufacturing centers of the commonwealth. We shall continue to publish this directory from time to time as the demand may arise, and we venture the assertion that it will not be but a short while before Gastonia will need a directory published annually, as have several other cities in the state. Before concluding we wish to thank our patrons for their lib- eral support, by which this publication was made possible, and to extend our thanks to our many friends and the public in general for their aid and cour- teous way in which they supplied our representatives with the proper infor- mation. It is indeed a pleasure for us to publish a directory in a city where the people are so vitally interested and are willing to cooperate. This, of itself is good evidence that Gastonia is a good, live, up-to-date city and a good place in which to live and do business.
814893
Anyone looking for a new home or a suitable location in which to locate a new business enterprise . should investigate Gastonia. Gastonia has a live Chamber of Commerce which will be glad to furnish you with any facts and figures which you might desire.
