GENERAL REVIEW
GUILFORD COUNTY-Settled chiefly between 1750 and 1770 by Ulster Scots Presbyterians, English Quakers and German Lutherans and Calvinists (German Reformed), the county was established in 1771 from parts of Orange and Rowan counties. It was named after the Earl of Guilford. Containing some 624 square miles, Guilford County in 1950 had a population of 191,057.
GREENSBORO-The county seat was chartered in 1808 and named after Gen. Nathanael Greene, American leader in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. U. S. Census figures show steady growth: 1890- 3,317; 1900-10,035; 1910-15,895; 1920-19,861; 1930-53,569; 1940-59,319; 1950-74,389; 1960- 119,574. The population is 99.9% American-born with Negroes making up 25% of the total.
POINTS OF HISTORIC INTEREST-Guilford Courthouse National Military Park is located on the site of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. Here Gen. Greene fought one of the final and significant battles of the Revolution in North Carolina and the losses Cornwallis suffered contributed in large part to his surrender at Yorktown several months later. Maintained as a national park, the site has an historical museum and many monuments, including Gen. Greene, Winston, Caldwell, and the famous "giant" Peter Francisco.
O. Henry, one of the most famous writers of this country, was born in Greensboro. A bronze tab- let on the Masonic Temple identifies his birthplace. O. Henry exhibits are to be found in the Greensboro Historical Museum, at the Greensboro Public Library and the O. Henry Hotel.

COMMERCE AND TRADE
Greensboro is easily accessible to a 50-mile trade area with a population of about 1,400,000. Retail sales for the area in 1959 totaled $1,338,533,000.
Greensboro is the principal market of the northern Piedmont section of the State. There are some 1,500 retail, service and professional outlets and nearly 2,000 salesmen and agents who distribute a wide variety of merchandise of a much larger territory.
The home offices of several large insurance companies, plus territorial and general agencies of many national firms, have given the city its title of the "Insurance Center of the South."
Although not the largest tobacco market in the Old Belt, Greensboro's market is growing the most rapidly of any in the section. Reactivated in 1949 after twenty-five years of inactivity, the market has increased its sales faster than any other in the Old Belt. This growth is due mainly to the excellent management and Greensboro's location in the center of one of the nation's finest tobacco-growing areas.

Greensboro Municipal Building
GOVERNMENT
Greensboro is administered by a non-partisan council of seven members elected at large who em- ploy a full-time city manager.
Good management of the city is reflected in nationally-recognized superiority in public health ad- ministration, reduction of fire losses and low insurance rates, salability of municipal bonds, efficient police protection, well-paved streets, and modern sewerage and sanitation facilities. These and other evidences of good government have given Greensboro an atmosphere of enterprise and well-being.

INTRODUCTION
Also located in Greensboro are the synthetics division headquarters of J. P. Stevens & Co., Inc., a multi-million-dollar Sears, Roebuck and Co. mail order plant; a folding carton plant of the Container Corp. of America; and an electronics plant of Western Electric Co.
The principal industrial advantages are climate, good living and working conditions, availability of intelligent native labor, efficient public utilities, adequate power, competitive transportation facilities, accessibility to raw materials and markets, low taxes and insurance, and good government.
TRANSPORTATION
Regular daily schedules include: 16 passenger trains, 156 buses, 40 airline flights, 14 freight trains, and 14 package cars.
Greensboro is the center of rail, highway and air transportation of the northern Piedmont. It is served by the main line of Southern Railway (double track) that runs north and south, and 4 branch lines. Southern operated, providing east-west service.
Modern union passenger, mail, and express terminals are maintained with free pick-up and store delivery on LCL shipments. The REA Express has express service on practically all passenger trains. This makes available passenger train express service at railroad freight rates to all points in the State and to a large portion of Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and part of West Virginia.
More than 2,500 miles of hardsurfaced highways within a radius of fifty miles provide a means of easy access to Greensboro for the 175,000 automobile owners in the area.
Standard bus lires travel in eight directions to connect all principal cities. Atlantic Greyhound, Queen City Coach, Carolina Coach, and others operate under State regulations and clear through a union terminal.
The Greensboro-High Point-Winston-Salem Airport, a pioneer in the Southeast, serves the Nor- thern Piedmont area. The airport is served by Eastern Airlines, United Airlines and Piedmont Airlines. In addition to paved runways, the airport also has a weather bureau, hangars, restaurant, and complete radio equipment.
Greensboro also has a large number of trucking companies with excellent warehouse facilities. The companies operate large fleets in all directions which adds further to the city's transportation fa- cilities. This, and the density of population, make Greensboro more easily accessible to more people than any other city in the South Atlantic States.
RELIGIOUS FEATURES
The church has always been a powerful and constructive force in the life of every Guilford County neighborhood. The Quaker Meeting House at New Garden (now Guilford College) was established in 1752 and Old Buffalo Presbyterian Church organized in 1756.
Today all leading denominations are represented-Protestant, Catholic, Jewish-and maintain handsome places of worship. There is a broad religious tolerance activated by progressive ministerial associations and the Council of Protestants, Catholics and Jews.
The social life of many rural communities centers around neighborhood churches, and urban churches also have highly developed social programs.

INTRODUCTION
RECREATION, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Greensboro is strongly sports-minded, golf being the most popular form of recreation. There are 6 golf courses-5 country clubs and one public course. Since 1938 the Junior Chamber of Commerce has been promoting the Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament, which has become one of the best-known tournaments on the national circuit. In 1960 and early 1961 four modern bowling establishments were built, with 100 ten pin and 44 duck pin alleys.
Greensboro boasts both a baseball team and ice hockey team. The North Carolina Coaching Clinic and All-Star Games held annually at Woman's College bring high school graduates from more than 110 communities in the State, and the North Carolina Closed Tennis Tournament has been held in Greens- boro each summer since the early 1930's.
Nearby facilities are available for fishing, boating, swimming, and hunting of duck, quail, fox and deer. Modern country clubs at High Point, Sedgefield, Starmount and Greensboro have handsome club- houses where many social gatherings are held: riding, fox hunting, musical programs, dancing, bridge, tennis, skeet, swimming and others.
The schools and colleges schedule continuous series of recreational and educational entertain- ment, and athletic events throughout the school year; and over 500 clubs aid specifically in many recre- ational undertakings. A total of 623 acres is reserved for parks and playgrounds, and a full-time recre- ational director is employed to promote activity throughout the year. Plans are underway to improve in excess of 1,000 acres for park purposes.
Few sections offer greater opportunityfor year-round living out-of-doors, or more varied recrea- tional advantages. Pinehurst and Roaring Gap resorts are within two hours' drive, and the city lies be- tween the mountain and seashore resorts.
The Greensboro Historical Association operates a city museum with a special section devoted to native William Sydney Porter. The City Recreation Department and the Junior League operate a junior museum. The U. S. Park Service maintains Guilford Battleground National Park, where a zoo is one of the features.
Commercial amusement may be found through 7 motion picture theatres and 5 drive-ins; 3 riding academies, 4 bowling alleys, and ice skating at the new Auditorium/Coliseum.
The Greensboro War Memorial Coliseum was completed late in 1959. Facilities include an audi- torium seating 2,439, an arena with a capacity of 9,948, as well as other meeting and exhibition areas, with provisions for closed circuit television.
With the completion of the Auditorium/Coliseum, the already busy schedule of social and cultural events was stepped up. Regular music and lecture series bring outstanding attractions to Greensboro- concert artists, symphony orchestras, plays, authors and other lecturers -- now augmented by circuses, ice hockey games, New York theatricals. Woman's College, Greensboro College, and Guilford College serve as an outlet for amateur theatricals.
The Greensboro Arts Council, Inc., organized in 1958, carries out a city-wide cultural program in both the performing and graphic arts.

PLEASE! Do Not Lend Your CITY DIRECTORY
IT COSTS YOU MONEY-Every Time it Is Loaned
The practice of lending your City Directory, in a great measure, is responsible for the increasing cost of Directory Service.
The reason is :-
There is a definite cost involved in the making of the DIRECTORY of Your City.
THIS COST MUST BE ABSORBED BY THE SUBSCRIBERS-BE THEY ONE-OR BE THEY 1000.
If there were but ONE SUBSCRIBER to the CITY DIRECTORY-THE ONE SUBSCRIBER would of necessity have to absorb THE WHOLE COST.
If there were 100 SUBSCRIBERS-each one would have to absorb 1/100th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
If there were 1000 SUBSCRIBERS each one would have to absorb 1/1000th PART OF THE WHOLE COST.
From which it is obvious that the GREATER the number of subscribers -the LESSER the cost to each.
And
It is also obvious that the LESSER the number of subscribers-the GREATER the cost to each.
Every time you loan your City Directory the LESS NECESSITY THERE IS FOR THE BORROWER TO SUBSCRIBE FOR THE SERVICE.
MORE BORROWERS result in FEWER SUBSCRIBERS which means INCREASED COST.
