Durham has two national and seven state banks and two industrial banks, also a large joint stock land bank.


Durham is known primarily as "a working man's town," but recrea- tional activities are not neglected entirely. Three miles from the city has recently been completed one of the finest country club developments in the state. The membership of the club is composed of members of the faculties of Duke University, two miles from the club house, and the University of North Carolina, six miles away, and of the citizens of Durham generally.


The city has two golf courses, the Hillandale, with eighteen holes, and the Hope Valley, also an eighteen-hole course.


In 1926 El Toro Park, home of the Durham Bulls, club of the Pied- mont Baseball League, was completed, giving this city one of the finest baseball parks in the South. At its dedication Kenesaw Mountain Lan- dis pitched the first ball, which was caught-at by Governor Angus Wil- ton McLean, of North Carolina, after His Excellency had led around the field a huge red bull, the club's mascot, with the high commissioner of baseball astride his broad back.

INTRODUCTION


The Durham Woman's Club occupies a modern clubhouse, while the Young Women's Christian Association building, constructed along modern lines, gives this organization a splendid home. The Young Men's Christian Association is making plans for a still larger structure, not so close in, from the sale of the present valuable property.


Durham has five very active civic clubs: Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, American Business and Monarch Clubs, all contributing their part to the development and growth of the city. An active Chamber of Commerce leads in such activities while practically all of the main professions and business groups have their associations, in addition to the social organizations usually found in a city of Durham's size and conditions.


The growth of Durham has been rapid, but substantial, based along broad and solid industrial lines. Records show that in 1870 Durham was a community of 256 souls. Thirty years later the number had increased to 6,679, while the next decade saw it treble. In 1920 the United States Census report showed a population of 21,719. It was during the next five-year period that Durham passed from the town to the city class by extending its limits to take in two populous suburbs so that the government census of 1925 showed a population of 42,258. The census bureau estimate of 1929 increased the number to 48,800, giving Durham fourth place among the cities of North Carolina.


During the next ten years the city should show greater progress than during any like period in its history. The great Duke University building program will have been completed and the institution will be functioning fully before the end of that period. Many of the great de- velopments that will follow in its wake, some now in the minds of men, others not yet thought of, will be completed, or well under way. By every available means of forecasting the future, Durham has one of the best opportunities of any city in North Carolina-state of wonderful possibilities-of becoming a large, prosperous and populous city.
