PREFACE


THOMASVILLE, N. C.


"THE CHAIR TOWN"


PREFACE 1.


By R. M. COOKSEY, City Manager


Lying in the very heart of the Carolina Piedmont section, Thomas- ville has had a phenomenal growth in the past two decades, its de- velopment being one of the outstanding examples of expansion in the entire state. Its population today is given by City Directory estimators at 12,074, the city having doubled its population with each of the past three decennial census enumerations.


GROWTH


Its growth has been coincidental with the industrial expansion of Southern States, and particularly the Piedmont in the years following the war. The development of the furniture industry from the making of chairs to the production of a complete line of household furniture might be given as the chief factor, and the increase in the number and output of hosiery mills in this section has drawn hundreds of families yearly to Thomasville.


HISTORY


The first authentic records of the city began in 1845 when a general store was set up at the cross-roads. Several families moved to the location and the North Carolina Railroad, now the Southern, was built through the village. Construction of the road had been brought through the site of the present city by John W. Thomas, then a state senator, for whom the city was named.


INDUSTRIES


The foundation of the present furniture industry was laid in 1870 when a small factory was built to engage in the manufacture of chairs, and in a small way numerous other plants sprang up in the succeeding years. In 1904 the fore-runner of the present Thomasville Chair Com- pany, the largest single industry in the city, was founded, absorbing various other plants in the course of time. In addition to this company

PREFACE


PREFACE (Cont.)


the Standard Chair Company and Thomasville Furniture Company are among the city's leading industries, giving employment to around 3000 hands.


The making of cotton yarn in the city developed later with the organization of the present Jewel Cotton Mill, and the Amazon Cotton Mill, the latter, one of the plants of the world-known Cannon Towel Com- pany. In 1916 the first hosiery mill was founded by A. H. Ragan, known as the Ragan Mill, Wrenn Hosiery Co., Maurice Mills, and Fremont Hosiery Company. A dozen other small plants, including a box factory and furniture plant provide additional employment. There are also mattress factories, a concrete pipe and block plant, a flour mill, and numerous other industries, numbering, in all, 32 factories.


GOVERNMENT


The present form of city government was adopted in 1915 when the council-city manager plan was approved, and it has operated since that time with increasing satisfaction. The city tax rate has been kept to the low point of 16 mills, while the total bonded indebtedness of the city is less than one and one-quarter million dollars, and this though the city has miles of paved streets and sidewalks; four modern school buildings; one of the finest water supply systems of any city in the state regardless of size; two sewerage disposal plants; a modern fire department and numerous other modern facilities, housed in a modern City Hall.


The total property valuation of the city is estimated at $15,000,000, while the assessed valuation is $8,300,000.


SCHOOLS


In the 40 years since the first graded school was opened in 1900 followed by the first school building in 1902, the school system of the city has grown to an outlay valued at $300,000, and school enrollments increased from a small handful that year to nearly 3000 in 1940. A modern high school and grade school of 34 rooms provides training for one-half of the city and a newer building of 16 rooms cares for grade pupils in the opposite ward, and also a 12 room new building. A combin- ed grade and high school for colored pupils likewise has a large en- rollment.


WATER SUPPLY


Credited with one of the finest water supply systems in the state, Thomasville has just increased the capacity of the system by the addi-


10


PREFACE


tion of a million gallon storage tank in the center of the city where it will provide an instant supply of water for all needs of the city even though some unforeseen accident should close down the pumping station or destroy the principal feed mains for a protracted period. A pump station capable of producing more than a million gallons a day was erected in 1925.


RAILROADS


In addition to the main line of the Southern Railroad between New York and New Orleans, the city is on the H. P. T. and D., connecting link with other railroads, while two main highways between east and west and from north to south intersect in the heart of the city.


CHURCHES


Six of the chief denominations have churches in the city-Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Reformed, Lutheran and Methodist-Protestant.


OTHER CIVIC FEATURES


A modern hospital cares for the area within a radius of several miles. A well-stocked library and an active Rotary Club, Business and Profes- sional Women's Club, and Lions Club are among other civic features.
