COMMERCIAL FEATURES
Trade Area
Burlington's retail and wholesale trade area covers a radius of fifteen to twenty miles, including all of Alamance County and parts of the five adjoining counties, this area having a population of 75,000.
The volume of retail business in Alamance County, ac- cording to the 1930 U. S. Census, was $10,510,000, and of this amount, Burlington's stores did a retail volume of $6,643,000, cr 64.5% of the county total. Per capita retail sales in Bur- lington amounted to $682 per year and the average sales per store, $40,506. Of all cities in the state over 5,000 popula- tion, Burlington ranked seventh in average sales per store, seventh in per capita sales, and sixteenth in total volume of sales, while it ranked twenty-first in population. Average per capita sales for the eight largest cities of the state (with population from 30,000 to 85,000) was $500, and average vol- ume per store, $39,000. All of these eight cities ranked below Burlington in per capita retail sales.
The same census showed total number of retail stores for the county to be 455; and for Burlington, 164, the total number of business firms, including retail stores, being about 450. Burlington's eighteen wholesale firms' volume of sales was $2,829,176.
Local Stores
A recent survey of the nearby trade area indicated the decided preference of customers within Burlington's area in patronizing local stores, because of the excellent quality and service, the variety and prices of commodities, which com- pared favorably with those of cities much larger. There is a very small percentage of mail-order and out-of-town shop- ping. Approximately 88.4% of those in the Burlington area buy in Burlington.

for all points, while a short-line bus service is in operation to nearby towns and a local bus service operates on regular routes within the city and to nearby industrial sections. There is, of course, adequate local taxicab service.
MOTOR TRUCK- Six long-distance motor truck freight lines operate from or through Burlington on daily schedules north and south to the larger cities, making connections for western and eastern cities, one of the largest in the South- east being Barnwell Bros., Inc., a locally-owned line.
AIRPLANE-A commercial airport, Huffman Field, oper- ated by the Burlington Flying Service, located two miles east of the city's business section, is equipped with two hangars, has repair service and other supply facilities, tele- phone, taxi and bus connections with the city, with several passenger planes available on the field, making possible con- nections with the major established air mail and passenger routes.
A municipal landing field four miles southwest of Bur- lington, containing approximately 117 acres, is now being developed by the city.
INDUSTRY
Alamance County's industrial history dates from the year 1837, when Edwin M. Holt, who was born and reared in the county, established a cotton mill on Alamance Creek, four miles southwest of Burlington.
About the year 1854 this mill began the production of colored cotton fabrics, the first in the South to produce this material.
In 1887, when Burlington acquired its name, there were three cotton mills, one coffin factory, and a few smaller plants. Today there are 26 hosiery mills, 20 other textile and 29 miscellaneous-a total of 79, in a city with a popula- tion of little over 10,000. There are some fifty other plants, principally textile, located in the remainder of the county.
Industrial expansion has been steady. The Lafayette Mills were established in 1881; the E.M.H. Plaid Mills, in 1883; the Lakeside Mills, in 1893. In other parts of the county the older plants include White Furniture, in 1881; the Durham Hosiery Mills, in 1898; the Virginia Cotton Mills, in 1894. All but one of these is in operation at this time.
Burlington has become known as one of the leading hosiery-mill centers of the country. According to latest available census data, only five cities in the U. S. outrank Burlington in production, only one of these being in the South, while Burlington leads in the South in number of plants. The first hosiery mill here, the Daisy, was estab- lished in 1896, followed a few years later by the Burlington Knitting Co., the Whitehead Hosiery Mill, the Sellars Hosiery Mill, the May Hosiery Mills, and the McEwen Knitting Mills -the last being the first in the section to manufacture full- fashioned hose. These were followed by many others, most of which are still operating.
Beginning in 1923, with the establishment here of the Burlington Mills, the rapid expansion of this group of plants, now numbering ten in and near the city, with some eight in other cities in the area, has brought the weaving industry to the forefront, making the city known for dress goods, art silk, tapestries, and other cotton, rayon and silk fabrics, as well as for hosiery.
The E. M. Holt Plaid Mills, which recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, also entered the rayon- and silk-weav-

ing field a number of years ago, and have several plants in Burlington and the county.
These groups and several others have made Burlington one of the country's leading centers in this textile field.
Other industrial lines represented by local manufactur- ing plants are lumber, building material, caskets, soft drinks, ice, mixed feeds, dairy products, baking, printing, proprie- tary medicines, gas, paper boxes and foundry and machine shops.
Among the 3,073 counties in the U. S., Alamance ranks 216th in number of manufacturing plants, and 203d in num- ber of wage-earners.
INDUSTRIAL PAYROLLS in Burlington average well over $100,000 per week, with some 5,000 persons employed. Indicative of the steady industrial growth, in 1927 there were 12 new plants located here; in 1928, another 12; in 1929 the total was 14; in 1930 there were 8; in 1931, another 9; in 1932, in spite of depression, 5; in 1933, another 8-a total cf 68 plants in seven years. After allowing for a number of small plants which have "fallen by the wayside" during this period, the net increase has still been impressive.
In recent years Burlington has been led by only one city in the state in the establishment of new plants, and tied by one, both of these being considerably larger than Burlington.
The county in the 1930 U. S. Census, ranked fourth in the entire state in number of plants, sixth in total wages paid, and seventh in value of products, totaling $27,229,186.

INTRODUCTION
THE FUTURE-SOME COMMENTS
During the severe economic crisis of 1930-34, this sturdy city fought the depression and conquered it.
"No town in the state has shown its ability to come back better than the city of Burlington," declared a newspaper man from another Carolina city, and Burlington citizens have made that reputation possible, both by individual and collective community effort.
The late Franklin K. Lane, former Secretary of the In- terior, made the following statement in one of his addresses: "The region of central North Carolina, stretching from the Blue Ridge Mountains to a point about Goldsboro, is destined to become the greatest industrial area in the U. S., because of its great industrial advantages and economies." Burling- ton and Alamance County are situated midway in this region and bid fair to prove the validity of his statement.
Irvin Cobb says: "Let some statistician tell a tale in exultant terms of bank clearings and enlarged bank de- posits, exports, advancement of wealth and production. Go- ing only by what these two eyes have seen, I proclaim that North Carolina today is the foremost State of the Union in material progress, in public spirit, in educational expansion, and optimism of outlook."
Burlington's development, although not as rapid as some other cities, has not, like many of them, been of the "boom" type, or "one-sided," but rather a steady, sound, sub- stantial one. This underlying economic soundness has borne fruit in the way in which it has withstood the blows of the depression, although these have left their marks, of course.
The city invites and will welcome and cooperate with those firms and people who believe that character and eco- nomic soundness are paramount to mere size in development.

Stability Ad Permanency
Do you realize that a City Directory advertisement is a testimonial to the per- manency, the stability, of the advertiser?
That's the sort of concern all of us want to patronize, because we know when they sell us merchandise they are behind it in every way, today, tomorrow, and for the years to come.
"Fly-by-night," "fire-sale" and other temporary or "get-rich-quick" concerns rarely appear in the City Direc- tory.
And it is a noteworthy fact that the concerns which advertise one year in the city directory are there again next year. 90% of directory advertising is renewed.
Directory advertising is profitable. In connection with the class- ified business headings it is doubly effective.
May we explain how and why it will pay you?

Stability and Permanency
Do you realize that a City Directory advertisement is a testimonial to the per- manency, the stability, of the advertiser?
That's the sort of concern all of us want to patronize, because we know when they sell us merchandise they are behind it in every way, today, tomorrow, and for the years to come.
"Fly-by-night," "fire-sale" and other temporary or "get-rich-quick" concerns rarely appear in the City Direc- tory.
And it is a noteworthy fact that the concerns which advertise one year in the city directory are there again next year. 90% of directory advertising is renewed.
Directory advertising is profitable. In connection with the class- ified business headings it is doubly effective.
May we explain how and why it will pay you?
