INTRODUCTION
ROANOKE RAPIDS, N. C.
Introduction
Southern Directory Company, publishers of the Roanoke Rapids city directory, takes pleasure in presenting the 1938-39 edition to the general public. The work embodies all available and vital data relating to the civic, commercial, financial, social and industrial interest and activities of the municipality, and the publishers add their assurance that the work is complete in all its parts.
The publishers enjoy the prestige and advantage of a complete organization and thorough system essential in the production of di- rectories and the additional advantage of having the courteous co- operation of citizens in furnishing informaiton. These factors, added to the liberal support of patrons as shown by the advertisements dis- played upon the printed page, were vital to the success of the publi- cation.
Confidence in the growth of Roanoke Rapids, in its wealth, indus- try and population, as well as in the advancement of its municipal and social activities, will be created as sections of this directory are con- sulted, for truly, the directory is a mirror reflecting Roanoke Rapids to the world.
Your attention is invited to those names appearing in DISPLAY BLACK TYPE throughout the directory, as they are the responsible, enterprising, advertising business men who take pride in sustaining the city directory and who have made this publication possible.
POPULATION
The estimated population of Roanoke Rapids is 11,596, based on the number of individuals found by actual canvass at each residence. Territory immediately adjacent, which is part of the city, as far as business and social life are concerned, is included in the directory.
FOUR MAJOR DEPARTMENTS
The several essential departments are arranged in the follow- ing order.
THE MISCELLANEOUS DIRECTORY, containing valuable informa- tion concerning Local, State and National Governments, Churches, Schools, Colleges, Clubs, etc., included in pages 9 to 12.
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents, business firms and corporations is included starting on page 101.
THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY follows the Alphabetical List of Names. This department lists the various manufacturing, mer- cantile and professional interests in alphabetical order under appro- priate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indis- pensable epitome of the business interests of the community.
THE STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE follows the Classified Business Directory. In this section the names of the streets and avenues are arranged in alphabetical order; the residences and business houses (Continued on Page 8)

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION (cont'd)
are arranged numerically under the name of each street and avenue, and the names of householders, with the number of occupants, and business concerns are placed opposite the numbers.
MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY
The directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the city, depicting in truthful terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as an industrial site and as an educational center. To broadcast this information over the country, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the directory in Directory Libraries, which are maintained in all the chief cities of the country. Here they are readily available for free public reference and serve as perpetual ad- vertisements of Roanoke Rapids, for business men the country over realize that the city directory represents the community as it really is.
