PREFACE


PREFACE Henderson, North Carolina


Population Greater Henderson 18,000


Altitude 509


Henderson, North Carolina, is situated on U. S. Highway No. 1, 42 miles north of Raleigh, the state capitol and 115 miles south of Richmond, Virginia. The altitude of Henderson is a comfortable mean between lower plains and the hilly and mountainous regions of Western North Carolina. Cool summer nights and moderate winters make for a pleas- ant climate and a healthful place in which to live.


Henderson is served by bus from points north, south, east, and west, over highways U. S. No. 1, 158, and State Highway 39. Rail transporta- tion is furnished by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad Company direct from New York to Miami and by a branch of the Southern Railway. Truck transportation is furnished by nationally known fleets.


The City has lovely residential sections, stately churches, excellent schools, a beautiful park and splendid manufacturing sites.


EXCELLENT SCHOOLS


Educational needs of the children of Henderson are excellently provided for by a modern system of well-financed and expertly directed public schools housed in attractive structures for both the white and negro population. There are three roomy, well-lighted grade school buildings, a junior high school, and a beautiful new senior high school building for white children. Construction is in progress on a new grade school and Junior High School. There are separate grade and high schools for negro students. The senior high school is of modern Gothic design, typical of advanced Southern architecture for modern school buildings. There are recognized kindergarten schools for pre-school children, a private first grade, a business college, a negro junior college, and other educational facilities maintained in and near the city. N. C. State College, Duke University, Meredith College, Peace Junior College and Saint Mary's College are located within a radius of 40 miles of Henderson.


INDUSTRY


Henderson, the county seat of Vance County, because of its natural position as the hub of a four-county area with a population of more than 115,000, Henderson in recent years has grown tremendously as an industrial center. With a labor market second to none in North Carolina, Henderson industrial payrolls approximate $7,000,000 annually. Between 3,900 and 4,200 workers are employed regularly in local industry. Henderson is a dominant community in a growing industrial area.

ROSE'S 5-10-25c STORES


Headquarters of ROSE'S 5-10-25c STORES, which is the largest chain of variety stores operated exclusively in the South, are located in Hen- derson. This organization now operating 145 stores in six southern states, was founded in Henderson in 1915.


AGRICULTURE


Henderson and Vance county are the center of a wide area of the finest agricultural lands in North Carolina. Tobacco and cotton are the principal cash crops, with progressive programs carried out annually to stimulate the growth of feed for livestock and dairy producers. About 12,000 acres of tobacco are planted annually, and about 4,800 acres of cotton.


Henderson's huge auction tobacco market, from which emanates the chants of the famous tobacco auctioneer, annually sells approximate- ly 30,000,000 pounds of flue-cured, or cigarette-type tobacco. The market is served by eight warehouses, covering more than half a million square feet of floor space, and operates two complete sets of buyers representing all domestic and foreign company buyers of this type of tobacco. There are seven major buying companies located in Henderson. As much as $15,000,000 has been paid to growers of tobacco during a single season. Vance County is located in the center of the Bright Leaf Tobacco Belt. Tours of the Tobacco Auctions conducted by Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with Tobacco Board of Trade free of charge.


Approximately 32 per cent of all land in Vance County is devoted to agriculture. Divided among the remainder of land is industry, residential properties, sub-divisions and forestation.
