PREFACE


(Continued from Page Seven)


is termed the Piedmont Section of the State, situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The city is protected from extreme temperature in Winter and Summer by these peaks that rise thousands of feet in height. To the north, west and south extend the Blue Ridge range. Hickory enjoys a year-round climate that is unexcelled anywhere, free from the rigors of northern winters and the extreme heat of the summers farther south. It is also protected from the storms of the middle western plains. This section offers to those seeking a change of location an ideal, evenly-balanced winter and summer climate. The average, annual temperature for the past ten years has been 60.2 degrees, with a record of more than 300 days of sunshine each year. The summer nights are cooled by the mountain breezes, the temperature frequently ranging 20 degrees lower than that of mid-day.


Hickory was first chartered as a town in 1870. This charter was amended in 1879, and in March 1913 the citizens by a large majority adopted what is known as the City Manager form of government, being the first city in North Carolina and one of the first in the United States to adopt this plan.


INDUSTRIES


More than $15,000,000 is invested in the 87 diversified manufac- turing plants of Hickory and the valuation of the annual output is in excess of $50,000,000. Nearly one hundred separate articles are manufactured in these plants.


The products include auto seats and tops, auto parts, wooden boxes and box shooks, brass, bronze and iron castings, building material of all kinds, butter and creamery products, chairs, cotton mill supplies, wooden crates, office, church and theatre furniture, dining room suites, juvenile and kindergarten furniture, harness and leather, interior mill work, overalls, paper boxes and cartons, pumps, sash cords, wooden toys, general household furniture, wagons, shoe strings, pottery, tap- estries.


The textile plants, hosiery, etc., of Hickory, produce carpet yarns, cambrays, corduroys, corsets and dobby cloth, cotton yarns, curtain goods, moleskins, palm beach cloth and sateens.


Besides these many diversified products, there are 38 hosiery and knitting mills, with upward of 4,000 employees, with an annual output of 12,000,000 dozen pairs of hosiery.


Hickory is the largest cordage manufacturing center in the world, and 90 per cent of capital invested in the industrial enterprises is furnish- ed by Hickory investors.


TRADE AND COMMERCE


Hickory is the trading center for 75,000 people, living in Catawba, Caldwell, Burke and Alexander counties. The county population, which is 89.3 per cent native white, together with the high class of workers

PREFACE


MUNICIPAL AIRPORT


in the manufacturing plants in the city, offers an unusually attractive opportunity for the retail and wholesale merchant looking for a new location.


20 years ago the Chamber of Commerce proposed an airport for Hickory. Today, following two decades of intermittent efforts, this is now realized.


The Hickory Airport is recognized today as one of the leading air- ports of North Carolina. With its modern hangar and its paved runways, it provides landing facilities for the largest aircraft. It has until recently been a regular stop on the cross-state Pennsylvania Central Air Line Ser- vice, but this Service has been discontinued for the duration. The field is now being used extensively as an air-training center for the Navy.


Located 3 miles northwest of the center of the city, at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Municipal Airport is of immense im- portance to Hickory and to Piedmont North Carolina.

WORTH ELLIOTT CARNEGIE LIBRARY


WORTH ELLIOTT CARNEGIE LIBRARY


Founded in 1922, the Worth Elliott Carnegie Library has grown from a small beginning of 1,820 volumes, to one of the best libraries in the State of North Carolina.


It now has a book collection of 18,502 volumes, a circulation of 116,- 017, a total of 4,418 active borrowers and an attendance of 60,430 persons, according to the annual report of June 30, 1942.


The library consists of the Main Library and the Twelfth Street Branch.


The growth of the library has been so striking that the present plant has become inadequate and a movement is now on foot to investigate the possibilities of building an addition to the present building.


PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS


There has been a definite trend toward more Municipal parks and playgrounds in the past few years and the City has co-operated to the fullest extent.


12


PREFACE


Donations have been made to the Playground Committee to main- tain and operate several Summer playgrounds in the City during the past few Summers.


Work has been done in Carolina Park toward beautifying it, and what was once a breeding place for mosquitos, has been transformed into a thing of beauty.


WATER PURIFICATION PLANT


The new water purification plant which was placed into operation in May 1936, has a daily capacity of 1,500,000 gallons of water and can be operated to a maximum capacity of 2,000,000 gallons per day.


Modern in every respect, and possessing the latest type of water purification equipment, the plant is a credit to Hickory and her people.


It is located about a mile and a half from the City and is in the park site on Lake Hickory.


An inexhaustable supply of water is provided by the Catawba River. Auxiliary gasoline pumps are installed in both the pumping station and the filter plant, in addition to the regular electrically driven pumps, to take care of any emergency.


TRANSPORTATION


Hickory is served by the Southern Railway and the Carolina & North- western Railway, thus offering every facility for passenger and freight traffic. Eight passenger trains daily going direct to the larger Eastern and Western centers. Through freight service to and from the East and Midwest on a favorable rate basis makes Hickory an ideal location for the manufacturer, merchant or jobber.


UTILITIES


Hickory is very fortunate to be served by the hydro-electric and steam plants of the Duke Power Company. The combined power sources represent approximately 1,127,395 K.V.A.


WATER PURIFICATION PLANT


13


PREFACE


Power for manufacturing purposes (textiles) is available as low as 1.2 cents per Kilowatt hour, with demand discounts as high as 40 per cent, and other power rates as low as eight mills with fixed demand charges.


The residential lighting and cooking rate is 2.0 cents per Kilowatt hour above 50 Kilowatt hours, based on monthly consumption.


Hickory is also fortunate in having an abundant supply of artificial gas, which is manufactured by the Piedmont Gas Company, whose plant not only serves the city but serves surrounding towns.


The gas rate in Hickory is among the lowest in North Carolina, thus making it practical for industrial plants requiring gas in their manufac- turing operations to use it economically.


EDUCATION


Hickory has 10 graded schools with 9 months school term and 12 grades.


Lenoir- Rhyne College, a Grade A Co-educational Institution of the Lutheran Church, is located in Hickory, with an enrollment of 400 young men and women from all over the United States. This institution, with an endowment of over $500,000 and with a highly trained faculty, affords an opportunity for the higher education of the youth of Hickory and the South at a remarkably low cost.


CEMETERIES


Municipally owned and maintained cemeteries are Oakwood, Houcks Chapel and Ridgeview Colored Cemetery.


Plans are now being made and the services of a landscape architect have been employed, to design the development of a thirty acre ceme- tery in the former town of Highland to be known as Highland Cemetery.


In 1937, the City purchased a 20 acre tract of land adjacent to the Ridgeview Cemetery, which has been platted and laid off for the addi- tion to that cemetery.


CONCLUSION


Hickory is a city of home owners, 75 per cent of the inhabitants own- ing their own property. This is due to the far-sighted and progressive policy of the Building and Loan Associations of the city, whose total assets run well over $2,000,000. It is a population with a "stake" in the community-home owning and home loving people.


The fact that the head of a large Eastern transportation system, fol- jowing a survey of the Atlantic coast states, declared Hickory to be he best balanced city in America, is significant. Whether or not it is the "best balanced city in America," everyone familiar with its diversi- fled industrial and agricultural development is in agreement that it is an ideal community in which to live and labor.


(Further information concerning Hickory and its facilities may be obtained by addressing the Hickory Chamber of Commerce.)
