ties in the state, being frequently pointed to as a model by the North Carolina Institute of Government.
Greensboro, county seat, is administered by a non-partisan council of seven elected at large. The council employs a full-time experi- enced city manager. For many years the council has been composed of successful busi- ness and professional men of demonstrated capacity in their private undertakings.
The council has directed municipal af- fairs upon well-established business princi- ples uninfluenced by partisan political con- siderations. Good management is reflected in nationally-recognized superiority in public health administration; reduction of fire losses and low insurance rates; the salability of mu- nicipal bonds; efficient police protection; unusually good water supply; clean, well- paved streets; modern sewerage and sanita- tion facilities. These and other evidences of good government have given to the city an atmosphere of enterprise and well-being which causes it to be enthusiastically pointed out as "a good town. "

INTRODUCTION
piled by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina, had a total labor force of 63, 473 in 1951. Their average weekly wage was $54.21, totaling a payroll of $178,929,026 for the year. These figures include only those employers having eight or more employees in 1951.
Greensboro's industrial structure is well diversified-there are cotton, silk and syn- thetic textile mills; women's full-fashioned silk stocking and men's hose mills; wood- working, laundry, sawmill, farm tool, ma- chine tool and sheet metal industries; general foundry and stove works; ornamental iron and steel fabricators; sewer pipe and building tile manufacturers; overalls, work pants and sleeping garment plants; fertilizer plants, belting and textile specialties factories; lum- ber and millwork plants; chemicals and phar - maceuticals manufacturers; coffee-roasting, flour and food products plants; auto body builders; railway repair shops; ice cream and dairy products plants; printers and book- binders; and a variety of specialty manufac- turers.
The Cone Mills are the largest producers of cotton denim in the world. The Blue Bell Overall Co. is the largest in America, and the Mock-Judson-Voehringer Hosiery Mill and Pomona Terra Cotta Co. are the largest in the South. Vick's Vapo-Rub is known around the world.
Greensboro is the home office of the Burl- ington Mills Corp., and located here are the purchasing offices of J. P. Stevens & Co., Inc., and executive offices of the Carter Fabrics Group of J. P. Stevens & Co. ; a multi-mil - lion-dollar Sears, Roebuck & Co. mail-order plant; a folding carton plant of the Container Corp. of America; a redrying plant of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co .; and an electronics plant of Western Electric Co.
The principal industrial advantages are climate, good living and working conditions, availability of intelligent native labor, har- monious industrial relations, strict main- tenance of law and order, efficient public utilities, adequate power, water and sewage- disposal; competitive transportation facili- ties, accessibility to raw materials and pro- fitable markets, low taxes and insurance, and good government. Operating under these conditions and certain intangible factors, manufacturers have demonstrated that goods can be produced and sold at Greensborofor a larger net profit than in comparable establish- ments elsewhere, giving local plants a decided competitive advantage.
Commerce and Trade
Greensboro is easily accessible to a 50- mile trade area having a population of approx - imately 1, 500, 000. Retail sales for the area were approximately $961, 971, 000 in 1951.
Greensboro is the principal market of the northern Piedmont. There are approximately 1,500 retail, service and professional outlets, handling goods, wares and merchandise lines available in metropolitan centers.
Wholesale and agency establishments travel between 1,800 and 2,000 salesmen and agents and distribute a wide variety of mer- chandise over a much larger territory. The area served has greater purchasing power than comparable areas surrounding Richmond or Atlanta.
The home offices of several large insur- ance companies, together with the territorial and general agencies of numerous national firms, offering all forms of coverage, have created an "insurance fraternity" which characterizes Greensboro as the "Hartford of the South. "
Greensboro is one of the principal cities

for Virginia and North and South Carolina conventions. Because Greensboro is the focal point of the most densely populated area in these three states, many organizations reg- ister larger attendance at Greensboro than elsewhere. Class "A" hotels offer every modern facility.
Greensboro is territorial headquarters for many nationally-known firms.
Although far from being the largest to- bacco market in the Old Belt, Greensboro's tobacco market is by any standards the Old Belt's most rapidly growing market. Re- activated in 1949 after a quarter-century of inactivity, the Greensboro market by the 1952 season had increased its annual sales by 409 %. This remarkable growth is due mainly to a high calibre of management and Greens- boro's strategic location in the center of one of the nation's finest tobacco-growing areas. Annual sales for the first four years of the reactivated market have been: 1949, 1, 935, - 084 pounds; 1950, 3,102, 664 pounds; 1951, 5,894, 950 pounds; 1952, 8, 681, 812 pounds.
Transportation
REGULAR SCHEDULED DAILY DEPAR- TURES: 22 passenger trains, 192 busses in and out week days, 28 planes daily, 18 freight trains, and 56 package cars.
Greensboro is the focal point of rail, high- way, and air carriers of the northern Pied- mont. It is served by the main line of the Southern Railway system (double-track), running north and south. Here also is the east and west line of the North Carolina Railroad (Southern operated), and the Southern Rail- way lines, Greensboro to Winston-Salem and Mt. Airy to Sanford and points beyond.
Modern union passenger, mail and express terminals with free pick-up and store-door delivery on LCL shipments. Railway Express Agency maintains express service on practi- cally all passenger trains, making available passenger train express service at railroad freight rates to all points in North Carolina and to a large portion of Georgia, South Caro- lina, Tennessee and Virginia and a part of West Virginia.
A network of more than 2, 500 miles of hard-surfaced highways within a radius of 50 miles, provides a means of easy access to Greensboro for approximately 170, 000 auto- mobile owners in the area.
Standard bus lines move in eight direc- tions, connecting with all principal cities. Atlantic Greyhound, Carolina Coach and the other carriers operate under State regula- tions, clearing through a union terminal.
Greensboro-High Point Airport-(a pio- neer in the Southeast)-serves Greensboro and High Point. On Eastern Air Lines' main line. Also Capital Air Lines and Piedmont Airlines-passengers, mail and express. The field has paved runways; a first-order weather bureau, hangars, restaurant, modern lighting, service equipment, radio beacon, radio and telephone. Transportation facilities and den- sity of population combine to make Greens- boro more easily accessible to more people than any other city in the South Atlantic States.
Greensboro is served by a large number of trucking companies, having excellent ware- house facilities and operating large fleets of trucks in all directions, which further adds to Greensboro's transportation facilities, with transportation rates to serve all indus- tries on a fair basis.

Religious and Social Features
The church as an institution has always been a powerful and constructive force in the life of every neighborhood in Guilford County. The Quaker Meeting House at New Garden (now Guilford College) was established in 1752. Old Buffalo Presbyterian Church was established in Greensboro in 1756.
Colonial churches at Alamance, Deep River, Friedens and elsewhere in this county have made important contributions to the development of fine character and strong citizenship.
Today all leading denominations are rep- resented-Protestant, Catholic, Jewish-and maintain handsome and inspiring places of worship. There exists among all communes an extraordinary religious tolerance activated by progressive ministerial associations and the Council of Protestants, Catholics and Jews.
The social life of many rural communi- ties centers around and in their neighborhood churches. The urban churches also have high- ly-developed social programs.
Modern country clubs at High Point, Sedgefield, Starmount and Greensboro have handsome clubhouses, where friends gather for dancing, bridge, study, musical programs, fox-hunting, riding, tennis, skeet, hiking, swimming and many other forms of social activities.
Regular music and lecture courses bring outstanding attractions to the city: Authors and artists, symphony music, occasional
opera and metropolitan stage productions. Nine moving-picture theatres (two largest seating 3,350) offer current attractions. Three auditoriums seating 2, 700, 1, 100 and 1, 585 respectively.
The famous "Playliker" organization of Women's College, University of N. C., and the dramatic units at Greensboro and Guilford colleges offer an outlet for amateur theatri- cals.
Recreation
Few sections offer greater opportunity for year-'round living out-of-doors, or more varied recreational advantages. The extent to which people in all walks participate in outdoor pursuits is remarkable, and has a distinct influence on community health and well-being. Greensboro has repeatedly won national recognition in municipal health con- tests.
The World War Memorial and Senior High School stadiums provide ideal settings for major football games, day and night baseball, interstate track meets, tennis tournaments, etc.
A city-county park provides three lakes for fishing and boating. A recreation center near Jamestown affords a modern swimming pool. Brandt Lake offers boating and fishing.
At Sedgefield there are horses and fox- hounds. The countryside abounds in quail and other game. Several game preserves are maintained by sportsmen of national promi- nence. There are numerous private clubs and

camps nearby, containing hundreds of acres of land and water area.
Championship 18-hole golf courses, mu- nicipal and public golf courses, private tennis courts and swimming pools are offered by country clubs at High Point, Starmount, Sedgefield and Greensboro. A total of 678 acres is reserved for parks and playgrounds
by the City of Greensboro, and a full-time recreational director is employed to pro- mote a well-rounded program of neighborhood activity throughout the year.
Pinehurst and Roaring Gap resorts within two hours' drive, and Greensboro is equi- distant between famed mountain and seashore resorts.

Don't Contribute to Counterfeiters KNOW YOUR MONEY!
Don't Be Fooled by Forgers KNOW YOUR ENDORSERS!
The Government never redeems counterfeit money!
1. KNOW YOUR MONEY! Study the bills you receive so as to become familiar with the workmanship on them, especially in the por- traits.
2. COMPARE a suspected bill with a genuine of the same type and denomination. Observe these things:
PORTRAIT
Counterfeit-Dull, smudgy, or unnaturally white, scratchy; oval background is dark, lines irreg- ular and broken. Portrait merges into the background.
Genuine-Stands out distinctly from the oval back- ground. Eyes appear lifelike. Background is a fine screen of regular lines.
COLORED SEAL
Counterfeit-Saw-tooth points around rim are usu- ally uneven, broken off.
Genuine-Saw-tooth points around rim are even and sharp.
SERIAL NUMBERS
Counterfeit-Poorly printed, badly spaced, uneven in appearance.
Genuine-Figures firmly and evenly printed, well spaced.
PAPER
Counterfeit-Generally has no silk threads, but these may be imitated by very small red and blue ink lines.
Genuine-Printed on distinctive paper in which very small red and blue silk threads are scattered. The silk threads are not always noticeable on bills that are badly soiled or worn.
3. RUBBING a bill on a piece of paper will not prove it is genuine or counterfeit; ink can be rubbed from good bills as well as bad ones.
4. CONSULT an experienced money-handler or police officer to make sure, if you are still in doubt, whether a bill is genuine or coun- terfeit.
5. REMEMBER, NOT ALL STRANGERS ARE COUNTERFEIT- ERS, BUT ALL COUNTERFEITERS ARE LIKELY TO BE STRAN- GERS.
This information is reprinted from the U. S. Secrat ServicJ 32-page booklet, "KNOW YOUR MONEY", which tells how to detect counterfeit coins and bills and how to guard against lossos from forged Government checks. Copies may be pur- chased for 10c each, or $7.50 per 100, from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.
