CHARLOTTE TODAY
Twenty years ago the South began to arouse from her bed of rich, deep traditions and bestir herself. There is a new South today-an onward- driving, pulsating South in industry, agriculture and finance.
Fundamentally successful industries develop best where abundant raw materials, mechanical power and stable population combine. Tremendously

North Tryon Street, Looking from the Square
rich in natural resources, power and raw materials, the South has strided forward with seven-league boots, and today, the economic advantages re- sulting from the development of her resources are leading the trail of in- dustry Southward.
This is true, not only in the textile field, where advantageous conditions of power, climate, labor and living conditions at the source of raw materials have already transferred the center of industry from New England to the South, but in other lines of diversified manufacturing as well.
North Carolina today is the pacemaker of the South; it leads in textile manufacturing and hydro-electric power development, and Charlotte is the center of a textile manufacturing territory having 770 mills, operating over 10,000,000 spindles and consuming more cotton than any other section in the world.
It is the center of one of the largest hydro-electric developments in the United States, the total horsepower developed and in immediate pros- pect of developing being more than a million.
It is the largest center in the South for textile mill machinery and equipment, practically all the large companies in the United States and England handling their entire business in the South through Charlotte offices and plants.
It is the "Southern Market" for dyestuffs-laboratories and offices being maintained here by the leading dye corporations of the country.
Charlotte has annual payrolls of over 12 million dollars, from 167 widely diversified manufacturing and industrial plants.
Charlotte is located in the center of a territory recognized as the most rapidly developing industrial and commercial section in the South. The
14
INTRODUCTION
eyes of the commercial, as well as tourist, world are focused on the Pied- mont Carolinas-the section of which Charlotte is the geographic and industrial center.
Hard-surfaced roads radiate from Charlotte in every direction. Eleven highways enter Charlotte. The National Highway crosses the North Caro- lina State Highway at Charlotte. North Carolina has 9,000 miles of paved roads. Two million people can come to Charlotte from a radius of one hundred miles by automobile, transact business and return home the same day.
Charlotte is the distributing center of the Carolinas and is the natural radial point for the railroads of this section. Eight railway lines radiate from the city, this situation making possible a maximum of railway track- age for new industries of various kinds. There is an abundance of skilled and unskilled labor willing to give an honest day's work for a reasonable wage. Charlotte is not disturbed by continued labor difficulties, strikes and labor agitation.
The quality of Charlotte's water is excellent, and the supply abundant, with an up-to-date filter plant, built at a cost of $1,500,000.
Electricity, ample and at low rates, has been probably the greatest factor in the industrial and commercial development of Charlotte.

Charlotte's Financial District
Charlotte's rapid growth as a manufacturing and business center has developed financial institutions commensurate with the demands of this rapidly-growing city and section which they serve.
Charlotte is live, aggressive, progressive.
Charlotte citizens cooperate in matters which promote the civic, com- mercial, religious and industrial welfare of the community.
Charlotte is a friendly city. It welcomes the newcomer, be he from the North, West, East or South.
Charlotte's Greatest Asset
The climate of Charlotte is outstanding, and can be classed as the city's leading asset. The United States Weather Bureau has made records of Charlotte's climate for the past 45 years and the fact is developed that the people of this city live the year 'round in a temperature averaging 60.2 degrees. The mean maximum temperature is 69.5 degrees and the mean minimum is 50.9 degrees. The vicinity is favored in wind and rain; in sun- shine and shadow. Agricultural activities may be pursued practically with- out interruption throughout the year.

MANUFACTURERS AND MANUFACTURING ADVANTAGES
Charlotte has many distinct advantages to offer the manufacturer- four competing rail lines, low freight rates, pure water and a convenient location. Henry Ford, after careful study, located his Mid-South assembly plant at Charlotte, and today it is one of the largest units in the Ford chain. Manufacturers should investigate this thriving city. Living condi- tions are ideal. Climate is mild and pleasant, and schools are among the finest in the South. Excellent, hotels and shops. Cordial social life. Several excellent golf courses.
Power
Charlotte is the home of the Duke Power Co., operating one of the best hydro-electric systems in the world. Southern electric companies are tied up into a great super-power zone, and abundant "white coal" assures ample power at low cost.
Labor
Charlotte's labor is of the finest in the country today-native, white, sober, industrious. Labor troubles are practically unknown and the labor turnover is small.

INTRODUCTION
Partial Air View of Charlotte's Business Section
Textiles
Here the textile development of the South is centering. Seven hundred and seventy mills operating 10,000,000 spindles within a hundred miles and a great business has grown up in supplying these mills with dyestuffs, cot- ton, machinery and equipment of all kinds.
As a Manufacturing Center, Charlotte Offers:
1. Low power for manufacturing purposes.
2. Close proximity to the sources of all material for finished products.
3. Cotton, cotton yarns, cottonseed, cotton oil, tobacco, peanuts, kaolin, wood pulp, lumber, etc.
4. Logical location for a manufacturer of commodities for export through the ports of Norfolk, Wilmington, Charleston and Savannah.
5. A very desirable type of high-class labor available to manufac- turers.
6. Mild climatic conditions throughout the year. There are nine months of exceptional open-season weather.
7. The adequate transfer facilities of four railroads, with daily ter- minal facilities of 5,200 carloads.
8. Desirable living conditions and an unusual residential development.

BAROMETERS OF CHARLOTTE'S GROWTH
The following barometers, with a few exceptions, apply directly to the area within the city limits of Charlotte. Within this limitation, the figures give a fair picture of the city's expansion. Charlotte's growth, however, is actually greater, due to the development beyond the city's fixed limits, in the surrounding suburbs.
The stability of Charlotte's growth is indicated by the steady increase in population and wages paid even through the last few years. The value of manufactured products, and the number of wage earners employed in industry, show the solidity and industrial strength of the community.
The progressiveness of Charlotte is shown by the remarkable interest in the cultural and recreational features of the city's life.

THE CARE OF OTHERS' MONEY
Probably no other responsibility is as great as that of caring for the wealth of a community. Because this is so, only men of mature experience occupy seats at our board of directors meetings.
These men . . . all lead- ers in the business life of our city, make every decision of import con- cerning the deposition of money in our bank. That is why . . . our bank has always been a leader in this com- munity.

ELECTRICAL
Electricity Is Cheap -- -
Use It Freely To Make Your Home Livable.
Electricity makes a home livable not only because it brings brightness and cleanliness and health but be- cause it relieves the housewife of so much of the drudg- ery of house work that she is able to have more time for recreation and other activities which mean so much for the happiness and comfort of the family.
A wise woman has said that electric service pro- motes a good disposition and that good dispositions are essential to happy homes.
It's worth thinking about anyway.
And electricity today costs a small fraction of what it cost even a few years ago.
