MIOIT
Graduate Dormitory Tower, Duke University
In 1892, Trinity College, now Duke University, was brought to Durham through the philantrophy of Mr. Washington Duke and General Julian S. Carr. Today Duke University has a physical plant worth $59,686,000; 5,769 students, and a 690- bedhospital, and ranks among the leading educational institutions of the nation.
As the tobacco industry grew and prospered, certain persons used some of their dividends in establishing cotton mills, and this industry soon assumed a position of importance in the industrial life of the city. Later hosiery mills were established, until today Durham ranks as the first city of the South in the manufacture of full-fashioned hosiery. Other industries were added from time to time, including flour mills, fertilizer plants, iron works, woodworking plants, printing establishments, etc., until now there are engaged in industry over 15,000 wage earners, producing $200,000,000 worth of manufactured products annually. Durham today produces 19 per cent of all the cigarettes made in the U. S.
Durham has made many capital improvements through the years and has excellent streets, water and sewer facilities, and other public buildings. The city is preparing for future growth with an urban renewal program, master recreation plan, downtown development and other programs.
Any story about Durham would be incomplete without mention of the notable contribution which the Negro race has made to the industrial, commercial and civic development of the community. The progress the race has made here has been truly amazing. Under the leadership of E. R. Merrick, and later, C. C. Spauling, and their associates, Durham's colored people have established in- dustries, insurance companies, banks and other commercial businesses which would be creditable to any city. The labor which they furnish the city's indus - trial plants is intelligent and dependable. The high type of leaders among the colored people here has made Durham a conspicuous outpost in the advance- ment of Negro civilization.

INTRODUCTION
One of the finest things about the founders of Durham is the material pros - perity which has opened to them avenues of service to mankind. It has been said that more philanthropists have been produced in Durham than in any other city of the South. Watts Hospital, 383 beds, was a gift to the city and county by Mr. George W. Watts. Lincoln Hospital, of 169 beds, is largely the gift of Mr. Benjamin N. Duke. Duke University is a living memorial to Mr. Washington Duke andhis two sons, Benjamin N. Duke and James Buchanan Duke. Other philanthropists have remembered the city from time to time in ways that help in making Durham a good place in which to live and work.
Durham is today the fifth city in North Carolina in point of population, having 80,000 inhabitants, and is second in industrial payrolls, and second in importance in the value of its manufactured products. It is far in the lead in its educational facilities, having an unexcelled public school system and Duke University within its corporate limits.
The colored people have in Durham, in addition to excellent public schools · for their race, the North Carolina College for Negroes, the only college of lib - eral arts for Negroes supported by taxation in the State.
All these things have been accomplished by people not especially favored by nature, but who by their determination, unconquerable will and tireless effort, and by their faith in mankind and in this community, have created a city that proudly takes its position as one of the representative cities of the new South and of America.

Out of Sight . Out of Mind * Out of Business
The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.
*
The City Directory is the natural medium for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.
