PREFACE High Point, N. C.
LOCATION
High Point is located approximately half way between Washington and Atlanta on the main line of the Southern Railway. High Point is in the center of the Piedmont industrial section of the state and forms one point of Greensboro, Winston-Salem and High Point triangle. These cities represent one-fourth of the manufacturing industry in the state, and serve a hundred- mile trading radius of the richest agricultural section of the state, over which are laid in a network of hard-surfaced roads, and wherein over a million people live.

NATURAL ADVANTAGES
High Point has an altitude of 940 feet above sea level. A more healthy even temperate climate can scarcely; be found in the United States. Nearly every faim product grown in the country thrives in North Carolina. Rainfall is ample throughout the year and extremes of either hot or cold weather are practically unknown. High Point is sixty miles from the Blue Ridge and two hundred and fifty miles from the Atlantic Coast. Short freight hauls to coastal ports give High Point excellent freight rates and two competing railroads vic in service. New York can be reached over night by rail and mail. High Point is within short drives over hard-surfaced roads of every large city in the state and is a part of Guilford County, the largest and richest county in North Carolina. High Point will continue to grow and prosper because it has every natural advantage that could be desired.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
An Industrial City, first and last, High Point presents one of the most in- teresting developments in the South. Up until a few years ago little outside capital had come into the town. Until 1910 High Point industry was owned,

manned and operated by natives of the surrounding country. And it was well on its way to a financially strong and successful community. However, at this time with the advent of new industries, principally in the textile field, the city began to grow and blossom forth rapidly into an industrial center. Wood working and furniture, the early enterprises of High Point, have been equalled in the last few years by textile mills, and along with these have come iron works, street car factory, machine shops, fiour mills, brick manufacturers, glass factories, silk mills and many others. One hundred and twenty-five manufacturing plants with an output of $50,000,000.00 annually, employing 14,000 workers with an annual payroll of $18,000,000.00 is High Point's proud achieve- inent today. In spite of this humming industry High Point remains a clean and beautiful city, an unusually attractive place in which to live.
CLIMATE
High Point is 940 feet above the sea level, has precipitation of 47.59, and mean temperature of 58 degrees, F .; by seasons: Spring 57 degrees, summer 76 degrees, autumn 56 degrees, winter 42 degrees. No malaria.
NATURAL ADVANTAGES
A more healthy even cemperate climate can scarcely be found in the United States. Nearly every farm product grown in the country thrives in North Carolina. Rainfall is ample throughout the year and extremes of either hot or cold weather are practically unknown. High Point is sixty miles from the Blue Ridge and two hundred and fifty miles from the Atlantic Coast.
CITY SCHOOLS
The High Point High School shown is the latest unit in a group of eleven schools which go far in providing High Point with adequate educational facili- ties. Combined with High Point College they afford the opportunity for a pupil to begin with the first grade and end with a degree. These schools are so located as to provide ample facilities in each section of the city.
HIGH POINT COLLEGE
This beautiful college, well within the city limits of High Point, is of Meth- odist Protestant denomination but open to students of any sect or creed. But a few years old, High Point College is already making a name for itself in edu- cational and athletic circles and drawing to capacity from North Carolina, as well as neighboring and distant states.
While High Point is not in any sense a college town, the city feels a genu- ine responsibility to the High Point College. Figures compiled show that the value of the college to the community can be clearly demonstrated in dollars and cents alone. The local students able to attend college in their home town effect a saving equal many times the tax revenue possible to be derived.
CHURCHES
High Point has 36 churches-Baptist, Primitive Baptist, Methodist Episcopal, Christian, Episcopal, Catholic, Friends, Holiness, Hebrew, Methodist Protestant, Presbyterian, Reformed, Christian Science, Disciples of Christ, Lutheran, Wes- leyan, Adventist, and Salvation Army.
