COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE
Wholesale-Greensboro is an important distribution point and is agency headquarters for many firms of national prominence. Wholesale and jobbing houses handle a large variety of merchandise and equipment. Recent decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission give Greensboro freight rate advantages which put it on a parity with Virginia cities, thereby favorably affecting wholesale business. More than 1,400 traveling men make their home in Greensboro.
Retail-Greensboro's natural trade territory is an irregular area extending from ten to eighty miles and is a shopping center for about a quarter of a million people. This is largely influenced by a new work of highly improved highways and the fact that Guilford County ranks first in the State in the number of automobiles, making possible an easy access to market. There are seventy- nine de luxe busses operating on regular schedules between Greensboro and points within 100 miles. Sixty-eight passenger trains bring hundreds of travelers to Greensboro daily to transact all man- ner of business.
CIVIC STRUCTURE
Greensboro has 54 churches; 5 hospitals; 2 public libraries; 3 Y. M. C. A. buildings; and 1 Y. W. C. A. building; 2 daily newspapers and 1 semi-weekly; modern theatres, county seat; Central Carolina Fair; league baseball; approximately 500 acres of park and playground area given to the city by public-spirited citizens; a War Memorial Stadium; modern hotels (about 400 new hotel rooms to be built this year); 2 country clubs; 2 eighteen hole "Donald Ross" courses provided for; new $600,000 municipal building; well financed community chest; active Chamber of Commerce; largest Merchants' Credit Association in the State; Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Civi- tans, A. B. C. Merchants and Manufacturers Club and Women's Clubs.
Greensboro's "Community spirit," while an intangible factor, is commonly pointed to by neighboring cities as one of its most remarkable assets. This spirit is reflected in the character and number of beautiful homes, which are mostly owned by those who live in them. There is an indefinable something about Greensboro that stamps it as "A city with a fine personality."
