Financial Features
North Carolina has no ad valorem property tax. The City of Gastonia rate is $1.15 per $100, and the Gaston County rate is 75c on $100 valuation. With municipal prop- erty valued at over $2,500,000, Gastonia has a net bonded debt of $1,264,500.
Gastonia has an adequate and modern water plant with clear water source.
Electricity is purchased wholesale from the Duke Power Co. and retailed by the City to residential and industrial users.
The average fire loss during the past five years has been less than the expenses of the Fire Department, and the per capita fire loss is far below the national average.
Closely allied with the city's favorable financial posi- tion in reference to industry, there should be mentioned also North Carolina's stable government, which is fair to capital, fair to labor, and possesses a sympathetic understanding of industry.
Gastonia's financial institutions, consisting of two strong national banks and two thriving building and loan institutions, afford ample facilities throughout this trade area.
Civic Life
The moral atmosphere of any city is indicated by the facilities which it has provided for religious worship. Gas- tonia is a church-going city, with 29 churches representing practically all the well-known denominations-Protestant, Catholic and Jewish.

INTRODUCTION
Gastonia is also proud of its school system, which con- sists of ten modern school plants, with property valuation of $1,750,000, an an enrollment of 5,844.
Gastonia has two splendid general hospitals for white people and one for Negroes. In addition, there is located here the North Carolina Orthopedic Hospital, the only State-owned and State-maintained institution of its kind in the Southern States. It has provisions for inmates of both races.
Gastonia has one modern hotel and several smaller hostelries, several large apartment houses, and a number of good private boarding houses. Five modern theatres, with total seating capacity of 3,200, afford ample amusement facilities.

The value of healty civic clubs is thoroughly appre- ciated in Gastonia. Strong units of Rotary, Kiwanis, Civi- tan, Lions, Altrusa and Pilot clubs are rendering valuable service to the city. An elegant club building is owned by the Gastonia Woman's Club, and the leading fraternal or- ganizations are represented. A splendid clubhouse, golf courses, swimming pools, tennis courts, parks and play- grounds afford ample opportunities for healthful recreation.
For the prospective resident, Gastonia is favorably sit- uated in many ways. While the city is located near the busy marts of trade, in less than three hours of travel by auto- moble a Gastonian can be in the incomparable scenery of the mountains of western North Carolina, the "Land of the Sky." In three hours he can journey to the famous Pine- hurst and Southern Pines winter resorts. The famous At- lantic beaches can be reached in five or six hours. One night of travel will place him in most of the big Eastern cities.

INTRODUCTION
Trade Area
Based on the 1940 U. S. Census, the population in a 75- mile radius of Gastonia was approximately 1,700,000, with a spendable money income of over $500,000,000.
Although the trucking industry has been developing rapidly, Gaston County still imports thousands of dollars' worth of food that could be raised profitably in the county.
Opportunities
The city's industrial population challenges the farmers of the country to grow food and feed crops.
Dairying and poultry farms have made notable strides in the last few years, but the possible field of development nas just begun.
Fruit-growing has become an important item in Gaston County. No finer peaches can be grown anywhere, and an ample market is close at hand.
The natural advantages which induced the pioneer fore- fathers to locate here still extist and, with the addition of the vast industrial empire and the phenomenal growth in population, the advantages have been augmented.
